I think this worked in Enigma

Comment 1 Christopher Blizzard 2002-04-18 13:31:36 EDT

This has never worked before.

Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2002-08-15 01:52:24 EDT

Of course this has nothing to do with mozilla. :-)

All that's needed is for indexhtml to generate a symbolic link from
/usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html to index.html.<DEFAULT_LOCALE>.

Comment 3 Leon Ho 2002-08-27 20:18:02 EDT

We can symlink to different localized version of index.html from mozilla wrapper:

- We can change index page location from redhatify patch in mozilla and ln -sf
to that location

- We can rename index.html to index.html.en_US and by default it points to
index.html.en_US

Following attachment is patch for the wrapper. Is it a good approach?

Comment 5 Christopher Blizzard 2002-08-27 20:57:27 EDT

That's not going to work as a normal user is it?

Please keep in mind there's a much better way to do this.  The variable that
controls the home page is in the lang pack.  If I had lang packs, we could just
do it there instead.

Comment 6 Leon Ho 2002-08-27 21:03:48 EDT

We could link a file to ~/ or something, but agreed it is a bit dirty. Yes if
the lang pack have the variable that control it, it would be much cleaner to do
it over there.

Comment 7 Jens Petersen 2002-08-27 22:55:42 EDT

My original suggestion about the symlink is just for the system default.
Ie the default page language for the system would be determined by the system 
default locale when indexhtml is installed/upgraded.

Comment 8 Nakai 2002-08-28 02:19:52 EDT

We are using the latest mozilla that translatation teams have not followed
well yet, so it should not depend on lang pack.

For Mozilla 1.0.1, only Greek lang pack is available at this moment.

Comment 9 Nakai 2002-08-28 03:17:20 EDT

Can we set LANG value( the return value of setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, ""))
to Javascript's natigator.systemLanguage?

If so, we can redirect from index.html to each lang index.html.
