Translate Tags, Options and Formats

This Plugin transparently translates tags/options and format variables from English to other languages (for the happyness of our foreign friends ).

The translation happens only at Edit and Preview time.

• the stored form is always English
• at Edit time the english TAGS are translated
  • this way you edit in your preferred language
• at Preview time the tags are translated back to English
  • this way all the twiki/plugins machinery works as usual

The table of Translations is kept in the TagTranslations? topic (by default).

Plugin settings

• One line description, shown in the TextFormattingRules topic:
  • Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = Translates TAGS on-the-fly for editing in foreign languages.
• Topic containing the translations (default: TagTranslations? )
  • #Set TOPIC = TranslateTagPlugin
• Language setting (you can place it also in a global/web/user preference topic)
  • Set LANG = it
• Set to 1 to enable some debug
  • Set DEBUG = 0

Syntax Example

Is it working?
