Installation

Last modified: October 23, 2006 - 14:56

For a fresh install

  1. Create folder 'modules/i18n', and copy all the modules files, keeping directory structure, to this folder.
  2. Just enable the module and the installation system will take care of everything

To update from 4.6 version

  1. Same as above
  2. Run Drupal upgrade script 'update.php'.

Note: no need to apply patches anymore

More language icons

A small collection of language icons is provided with the module. There are some sites from where you can download more language icons (flags)

Just remember to rename file names to match language codes and to set the right settings in administer>settings>i18n (Language icons settings)

Language icons considered bad

Languages serve only a very limited use when reflecting languages.

Languages aren't bound to borders. Just consider where English or German is spoken.
Furthermore people might be offended, when their country isn't supported.

Rather use the local name of the language.

As I believe the module doesn't let you exclude flags through the settings dialog, you have to edit the source code once you decided to exclude them.
