I was thinking a style used in www.gnu.org (a link "Translations of this page" in the header and the language list in the footer). And one of the reasons why I suggest it is that I really want to mark or get rid of outdated translations in some way (at build time, not to remove from CVS completely, of course)---if we only have a link to the translated top page only, people who usually read the translated pages are likely to fail to notice newly-added contents under the top page in the English version. If we have the language list in the footer, I think it would not be an eyesore even if it put at the bottom of (nearly) all pages as well as we would not have a trouble with overflowing the space at the page top. So I think it is better than simply making the language bar longer. The current version also has some other problems---well, is it easy to understand "zh_CN" means Chinese? Anyway, I will submit this idea in a patch later for further discussion. Any comments are welcome. -- | Hiroki SATO ----Security_Multipart(Fri_Jan_12_05_06_55_2007_932)-- Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBFppjfTyzT2CeTzy0RAoImAKDYGUQSYd4yRA2nbKZ1Ux/ifyBEhQCgyxdt qN0VTNuYz55EC1xgZ0I/O+Y= =+0xw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----Security_Multipart(Fri_Jan_12_05_06_55_2007_932)----
