This plugin changes the wiki's user-interface language to match the language of the current page.
The following methods are used to find out which language to use:
language
, if set.The plugin handles the case when the language has been changed to a RTL language. In this case, RTL CSS is loaded instead of the “normal” (non-RTL) CSS.
If you are using the translate plugin, this plugin is useful.
If you are using the translation plugin (another plugin with a similar name) you don't need this plugin. That plugin has this behaviour built-in (except it doesn't use metadata for language).
Search and install the plugin using the Extension Manager. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.
If you have pages in multiple languages, there are two ways you can make the user-interface appear in the correct language:
de:hallo
.language
metadata on the page. Metadata can be set using the meta plugin.
If you use the translate plugin, it sets the language
metadata, so in this case you don't have to do anything.
If the language cannot be detected, the browser's prefered language will be used.
