Non-English Language

VWcms is designed with considerable scope for non-English language deployment.

Although the substitution directives all use English-language keywords that's about the total of the dependency. All of the appropriate keywords allow alternate text to be specified as a parameter providng ad hoc, in place alternatives to the English-language defaults.

The directive $$PREV$<< A la anterior$$ produces a << A la anterior previous link!

Many of these defaults may also be specified in the configuration file using a set of [lang-..] configuration directives.

The same result as above (but throughout the entire site of course) could be obtained with

[lang-navigate] <<A la anterior|etc.|etc.|etc.

Note that many [lang-..] directives contain more than one string related to a functionality group. So the previous, next, back and top navigation links are all grouped into the one. If a language directive is specified all strings required must be specified.

The following table dynamically shows the default (for VWCMS AXP-1.2.0) and the current language strings. If the default and current strings are identical (i.e. unchanged) the current is shown as double quotes ("").
