Hi Simon, Thanks for the pointer. Many of the WML scripts in these templates can be replaced by equivalents in other systems. For instance with ikiwiki, the news items like on the Debian Med page (http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-med/) can be replaced by an inline directive. The links to translated pages are also created automagically. My question was rather: are there WML scripts that are supsected to be difficult to re-implement? In the tests I am doing currently with ikiwiki, I found that after converting the WML page to Markdown, it is easy to fill the PO catalogues by hand using existing translations. This means that people working on a WML transition can contribute to a PO transition as well. For the moment, I have a couple of issues: - The ikiwiki PO plugin has a concept of ‘master language’, while on the Debian website, the reference page can be in any language. - Each page has its own PO catalogue, which reduces the possibilities of factorisation (but translation tools like virtaal seem to be a workaround). The Debian Med area of our website does not use much other features than news and translations, so I can not tell much more about the migratability of other pages. I will try to make a demo available this week-end. (I considered the brand new www.branchable.com platform, but the tickbox to enable the PO plugin was shaded…) Have a nice day, -- Charles Plessy Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-www-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
