Proper multi-language support

[cvweiss]

I've been working on a mod that is being used worldwide by folks of different languages.  As I get volunteers to translate English to X language, I will be adding these to my mod.

However, what happens if I add support for French, but the forum administrator doesn't have support for French on his site?  When he attempts to install the module he will see "Test failed" for the French language.  Is there a way around this, or am I missing something blatantly obvious?

If yu are adding entities to a language file that might not exist, you just use the 'error="skip"'- option.

To add some text to Modifications.english_british-utf8.php, you just use:

Code Select Expand

<file name="$languagedir/Modifications.english_british-utf8.php" error="skip">
<operation>
<search position="end" /></search>
<add><![CDATA[

$txt['mytext'] = 'This is a text';
$txt['myothertext'] = 'This is another text';

]]></add>
</operation>

</file>
