Thread: Translations not even working?

Can someone verify if what we have now *even works*? I've been trying
for a while to make sure that works, but I can't make it :-(

I configured my browser to prefer French, but I still only get served
the English pages. This is both from www and wwwmaster. The only page I
know that's actually translated is the presskit, available at
http://www.postgresql.org/about/press/presskit82.html.

Can someone confirm if this thing *ever* shows up translated based on
the language in the browser? (I know there are direct links to the
translated version, that's something completely different. I'm talking
about the automatically-show-the-correct-language stuff)

I confirm that it displays in Russian for me, *if* you access it as
http://www.postgresql.org/about/press/presskit82

If you access that as http://www.postgresql.org/about/press/presskit82.html then 
content negotiation is not performed. See the docs for Apache: 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/content-negotiation.html

There you go. Wasn't aware of that, I was trying with the .html only.

Thanks!

Well you could just name the files: file.html.en, file.html.fr, ..
instead of file.en.html and so on. But otoh, link to the
unqualified resource looks better anyway :-)
(e.g. just "file")

Ah, just to add:

http://www.postgresql.org/layout/images/hdr_right.png

should equally addressed in pages as
http://www.postgresql.org/layout/images/hdr_right

instead to be able to translate it too.
