!!Translation issues identified by Mozilla FF Support folks, and followup conversations

''(See also ((CLWE Project User Feedback)))''

!!! Need for preferred locale in URL to support proxy caching
*For scalability reasons and to support external proxy caching, a users' preferred locale (for users that are reading without being logged in) must be in the URL. Right now, this is not in TikiWiki, and I (Nelson) had to do it specially for Mozilla. Will merge in when I have time.

!!! General requirements

*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398356|Easy way for localizers to keep track of en-US article changes]
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398354|Page not translated notification]
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398351|Simple "Translate this page" functionality]
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398355| "Potentially outdated" flag/status for localized articles]
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398357|Visible status for "potentially outdated" articles]

''Navigation-related...''

*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398352|Remember current locale for in-page article links]
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398625|l10n URL support]
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398353|l10n fallback]

''More generic (non-translation specific) requirements: ''

!!! More requirements that cropped up from initial use

* Browse categories should be sensitive to the preferred languages of the user [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421447]
* Force people to set a language when creating new page [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419863]
*Dynamic content (content ids) should be localizable (this I (Nelson) have done - need to merge) [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=415242]
*Freetags translation (Louis-Philippe has done this ) [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=413011]
*Search results should be language aware based on users' language
*Interface and other "auto-generated" elements need translation as well [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414361] (The tools are there in Tiki for this. I (Nelson) have cleaned up interactive translator (the rings thing), but somew more work to finetune. For e.g. language.php contains too many strings - even those for features not currently used.

!!!UI finetuning
*Page language selector is now placed in actions box [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418483]
