sorry about my engligh...

i've made a new language file called 'serendipity_lang_th.inc.php' and put in two folders: lang and lang/utf-8.

but when i'm in the personal settings in the admin area, i can't find the language to choose.

please help me.

delete the serendipity_ prefix -> lang_th.inc.php and have fun!

Have a look in the plugin dirs, there are some th-languages. Use this filename for your translations.

Falk, I'm afraid the user is talking about internal language files, not language files of plugins.

For internal files, serendipity_lang_XX.inc.php is required. But for the language to show up in the configuration, one needs to edit serendipity_config.inc.php and adjust the $serendipity['languages'] array.

This is also described on http://www.s9y.org/46.html

Thanks for helping,
Garvin

Sorry, here you can see i'am a plugin programmer and no core programmar. Never mind. So here now both answers for the forum search

Can't you insert languages in the array were no translation exists to make this for translators easier?

Falk: The reason we have a static array is that else we'd have to iterate and parse the whole lang/ directory, for each page request. That'd be really slow.
