[Xerte] Re: Translation of LO's

Sat Jan 12 16:44:25 GMT 2013

Uhhh... I've done some trial and error experiments with mixed results:
1. I removed all of the languages from languages/language-config.xml
except Hungarian --> languages/engine_hu-HU.xml come into operation,
but there's a drawback: When I create a new project the language
setting is "undefined".
2. I changed the <learningObject language="en-GB" to language="hu-HU"
property in USER_FILES/project_folder/data.xml and preview.xml -->
languages/wizard_hu-HU.xml has started working. Well, more or less,
because the dropdown menu of insert button disappeared. Actually where
is this property set?
3. I changed this language property in
modules/xerte/parent_templates/Notthingham/NOtthingham.rlt It seemed
reasonable to generate projects with Hungarian language settings, but
I it doesn't do anything.

Well..... what's next? :)
