I will test it as soon as possible. And I will translate the language file.

let me know if you have questions about the language file.

The translation is in "Work in progress" status. The French community is correcting my first draft.

It’s represent a lot of work, but what about translating the installation messages ?

all installation messages are located in:

install->
includes->
-welcome.html
-install.html
-update.html
-finish.html

Sorry I forgot to mention that. As soon as I get at least one language pack done (in addition to english) which includes the html pages in the installer, and the/lang/*.lang.php file, I will make a multilanguage installer where the first page is language select, then automatically installs with your seleceted language as default.

BTW to add new language file, just upload your {language}.lang.php file to the assets/modules/wizard/lang/ folder and it will be automatically detected.

On second thought, scratch the translation of the 4 html files. I will put all that data into one language file. I will have that up by the end of the night, but for now, I have to go help my brother move.

French translation still in progress (remains developer pages).

Just some ideas for wish list till I’m testing it :
- Think about how to manage multi-language help/info document in package
- Is this is plan in near future to have one package to install several and mixed resources ?

Hmmm... that is going to be up to the developers. I suppose if a developer had multilanguage support, the help/info document could be links to documentations pages on their website? I will think about other solutions.

I never thought about that? do you have an example of how it would be useful? do you mean if a developer created a resource that was a combination "plugin" and "module" they should be installed at the same time? I think this is beyond my current capabilities, but I will give it thought.

Some examples : QuickEdit is a module + a snippet, some snippet are released with chunck as template, eform has two snippets, sitemap is release with 3 TV, etc...

yeah, I will have to look into that. You bring up a good point. At this point, it may have to suffice to install eform part one and two, or sitemap with associated tvs, but I may have to shift the way I am looking at the module logic. have you any ideas on how to go about this?

I think you’ve done the most hard stuff. If you can install one resource, you can do a loop to add more.
I look into your install.php, and you use global variable like $resource_#####. Perhaps using table or structure is the solution ?

I want to try my language file. I upload the file francais-utf8.lang.php. And when I select "Set Language" Buton, I’ve the following error :

Fatal error: wizard_setlang() [function.require]: Failed opening required ’’ (include_path=’/homepages/15/d148587084/htdocs/WebModx/manager/includes/’) in /homepages/15/d148587084/htdocs/WebModx/assets/modules/wizard/wizard.class.php on line 225

Any Idea ?
