Once you have the Multilingual plugin installed<\/a>, you will need to configure and set up your pages in different languages. The Multilingual plugin creates a namespace<\/a> for each language. Each language can be represented by a text link or by a flag that represents the language. See the image below for what the flags look like.<\/p>\n

\"flags<\/a>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"English<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The flags will only display if the language is supported on DokuWiki. Unfortunately, we do not have a list of supported languages for DokuWiki. The image to the right shows what the basic page in English looks like. The following steps will explain how to set up your DokuWiki for more than one language.
<\/p>\n

Important!<\/strong> The multilingual plugin does not translate your site into multiple languages. Each Language has a namespace<\/a> created and links to each language page.<\/p>\n

Configuring the Multilingual plugin<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Log into DokuWiki<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. \"Settings<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n

    Click the Admin<\/strong> link at the top right and go to Configuration Manager<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

    Find the \u201cMultilingual Plugin Settings<\/em>\u201c. The available settings are as follows.<\/p>\n


    <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Multilingual Plugin Settings<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
    Space separated list of enabled languages (ISO codes).<\/th>\nThis allows the different language links to show on the page. The format is like follows: \n
    en, fr, de, it, ru, ko<\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Use flags on screen instead of ISO language two letter code? Check for yes, uncheck for no.<\/th>\nThis will show the language country flag in the links.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Use the browser\u2019s preference to set the language used by the wiki\u2019s ui.<\/th>\nThis will detect the language of the browser and set the language to the browser language.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    When logging in, redirect the user to the start page in the language namespace.<\/th>\nThis will allow the specific language page to load when logging in.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    When the pagename matches this regular expression, don\u2019t show the translation menu.<\/th>\nThis allows a regular expression to be used to remove the language links from the page.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Enter a pagename here where this plugin\u2019s usage is explained for your users.<\/th>\nAllows a page to be created that explains how the Multilingual plugin works.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    Click the \u201cUse flags on screen instead . . .<\/em>\u201d check box to enable the language country flag in the menu.<\/p>\n

    Save the changes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \"Configure<\/a>\n
  4. \"Russian<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n

    Create the page for the language for the flag you clicked. You can insert the same homepage text for each. You can use a translator like Google translate<\/a> to create the initial page. The images to the right is what the page will look like in Russian and Korean.
    <\/p>\n

    \"Korean<\/a><\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n

    Create the home pages for all the languages so that there is a page available for those who speak the particular language. <\/p>\n

    Important!<\/strong> Each page will need to be created individually The Multilingual Plugin only creates\u00a0namespace<\/a>s and does not translate your existing language into other languages.<\/p>\n
