Hm, could you explain in greater detail what you mean with "option to
select lanuage"?

By default the language is selected automatically by the browser's
preferred language configuration.

It's a little bit complicated  :-) :

content-center:
---------------
There are some french resource bundles, but they are incomplete and out
of date. So, if your browser is configured for french as the preferred
language you will get some french labels but a lot of them in english.

If you have a devel environment installed and e.g. netbeans, you can
easily add the necessary translations.

If you don't have a devel environment, I could send you the files in the
appropriate directory tree so you can easily make the translation - e.g
using a translation helper program, see the Netbeans translated files
project.

In any case you can activating (and test) it by copying the files into
the corresponding directories in ~/webapps/WEB-INF/lib tree without
recompiling.

It would be great if you could send the french files back to me so I can
add them to the repository and the next release.


content-items:
-------------
Content items support the concept of language bundle. You can add
translations for each content item you may have created (tab language,
add language). Problem: the current version of navigation does display
all language versions of an item for a given category. I'm not shure if
portal pages work.


Categories / Terms:
------------------
Currently they don't support multi-language sites. If you operate a
french only site, you should use french labels for categories and they
will be displayed to the public.

We have prepared an extension for categories which allows language
bundles for categories, too. That means, you prepare a category in a
default language and then add additional translations / languages for
each category. The appropriate language is automatically selected by
browser's language preference.

This extension is not included in the 1.0.4 release. It is currently in
our private development trunk (see http://ccm.barkhof.uni-bremen.de). If
you would like to use it, I could provide you with the rpms (which are a
private 1.0.5 (alpha) release, but we use it for our production web
sites) or I could grant you read-access to our repository. The extension
is not fully tested yet.

Public viewable site:
--------------------
The current APLAWS standard theme is plain English without any "Foreign
Country" support (from the British view :-) ). The fall back CCM theme
is language aware, but it is quite outdated and doesn't work well with
the newer code additions.

To use it for a french only site you have to modify the theme.

As an alternative you may use "Mandalay", a new multi-purpose standard
theme we are developing on which is highly configurable and
multi-language aware. But currently is does not support all modules,
just the ones we are using,  and there are some minor problems with
integrating of 2 admin pages. We are working on it to make it a new
APLAWS / CCM standard theme.

If you are interested we could send you a zip. Documentation is not
finished yet, but there is a lot of Doku in the config files.


Please: could you tell us what site you are using APLAWS for?


Peter

OK. I suppose you go into the content-center, select an content item
(e.g. article) to work on. Then there is a tab "languages" beside
authoring. Within this tab you select / specify the language assignment
of the content item you are working on. That does not affect the
language of the labels inside content-center. It is just an assignment
for the content item you are working on. You tell the system: this is a
content item in french language. It is the concept of language bundle.
You have an content item, identified by an internal id and dealing with
a special message (e.g. the welcome page). You can create various
language versions of that message. All the language versions carry the
same internal id. If a user specifies the content item with that id and
his/her browser specifies a preferred language, CCM tries to find that
language version of the item and delivers it.

I'll prepare a zip with all the rpms and send you an URL for download. I
hope I can do it tomorrow.
