Title: Welsh language -- do I need to install a package?
Post by: carolan on April 08, 2007, 21:04:17

Hi,

Sorry if this seems like a basic question -- I'm just the lowly website user, not the our IT guy. If I want a website to be bilingual when one of those languages is Welsh, do I need to install a language package first? It doesn't seem necessary (I still want the admin facility to be in English, it's just the content which we'll be translating and uploading which will be in Welsh) but the site seems to imply it is only available in certain languages. Can someone enlighten me please?

Thanks

Can you enlighten me, please, and tell me some differences between english and welsh lingo?  ???

PS
You CAN just input content in welsh, all content is utf-8 encoded, wich means that you CAN input content in chinese if you like.  :D

If you want just to display content in Welsh but the site messages to be in english, just do it. If you want to translate the site frontend in Welsh you must make a copy of the english frontend language pack and translate it (save it as welsh.php, welsh.gemini.php etc). Elxis 2006.4 does not have the locale support for the welsh language. It will be available in Elxis 2007 (Elxis 2007 will has locale support for all languages in the world). So if this is the case, you must manually add this line in the /includes/Core/locale.php file:

'welsh' => array('cy_GB.utf8'), //Welsh for Great Britain
