No. I see them when I look for them, but I would not be able to
discover that translated pages
exist if not looking closely.
Any improvement? If it's still not good enough, would bigger flags
help?

Moving flags to, say, top-right corner of the main page looks
sensible because the flag switches "individual" pages, but I'm not
sure if this is too complicated to code or not.

Well,
I think it's a good idea, but if the indicator of translations sits among
other menus, it may be slightly confusing. (In this case, the meaning of
flags is slightly different from the one of other menus, isn't it? They are
not submenus of Languages menu.)

Hi,
I just had a thought... how about the following stragegy.
When there exists a translation of the current page, the sidebar contains
a link to the translated page (and the primary english page). This could
perhaps be done with the following wiki markup:
(:if exist WebJa.{$Name}:)

Good idea. All we need is something that rewrites www.lyx.org/ja/

Alternatively, we can create the directory /ja/ and let it b

As for the menu entry, I'm not sure if there is enough space when several
languages become available. Some design invention may become necessary (e.g.
putting small country flags?)

Hi,
I'd like some feedback on how to let viewers of the web site see that it's

Right now I've just added a page called 'Other languages' and linked
to it from the sidebar.
