I've created a page for testing the new language dropdown here: http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/test/templates/brand-template-with-language-select-without-vars.html
Notes: * Ignore the surrounding templates that the python script attaches to the page, and focus on the central area, which is a duplicate of the brand template above it, with addition of the dropdown box. * The template example lacks variables, so I commented out a few lines, and hardcoded a few strings. * Currently, the selected language is English, but eventually, localized sites will set the default selected language according to their language, by changing a variable in brand.mdtext (or I'll do it). Please test it a bit, comment here, and if all goes well, I'll move the code into the site brand.html template, to affect all sites. Tal Ken, I'm sorry, I tried to create the /content structure in /content/test, and failed. I can't copy files from /content, without checking out the whole 9GB folder, and I don't think it's possible to create inner sites with templates, within the /content/test directory, at this stage. Hence, I created a simple page to test the func. of the dropdown only.
