Serendipity now has full Korean language support

[wesley]

I have just finished all the Korean translations for the core s9y package
in the trunk. That includes the main language file, all the plug-ins, and the
Kubrick template which needs a separate language file. They're available
in the SVN trunk now, and should come with subsequent nightly snapshots
and eventually, 0.9 release.

When I started using s9y 3 weeks ago, Korean localization had been
effectively nonexistant. Now I believe it has the become on par with the
German and English versions for the package itself. With the translation
in place, I think s9y can cater to a wider audience - there have been very
few Korean folks using s9y at this moment probably due to the lack of
Korean support.

When I look at your blog and chance the language to korean, almost everything chances, except the korean language select under the entry while default is translated (well I dont speak your language so I guess its translated).

dont know why the pic doesnt show up....?

The name of the language itself is hardcoded, so it's not localized. Since it is
not a localizable string it shows up in English like that. I could attempt to
add additional routine in the plug-in (that language chooser is not a part of
the core plug-ins, btw) to work around the problem, but ideally the s9y's
code itself should be changed to handle localizations of the language names.

P.S. The names are hardcoded in serendipity_config.inc.php under the
$serendipity['languages'] array, so perhaps this needs to become dynamic
to language changes.

The major problem of "dynamic" language names is that we'd have to either hardcode all possible variations inside the file.

Because parsing all language files is a lot of overhead to perform! We can't open each file and look how the languages are defined there...
