Support for multilanguage sites, Internationalization (I18N)

[mvlcek]

Looking at this and seeing a fast progress of GS, wouldn't it be better to ask for some core changes to allow more user friendly functionalities of some plugins ?

That's done, of course, and some like the hook on a page delete are already implemented (in 3.0b).
But there will always be core changes that are not yet finished or won't be done, because it would make the core too complex and they are only used by very specialized plugins. And then we plugin developers have to work with what we have/get.

But If I showed your usage guide to a non-technical user, he would look at me with an imploring glance and say (as always): I do not understand even a word

The non-technical user I know does not install GetSimple or plugins and he does not include the links to switch languages in the template. So I install GetSimple, create/improve the template and create (empty) index pages in the languages he/she wants to have on the site.

Then I tell/show him/her to go to the I18N view and select the page from the table or click on the + button, if he/she wants to create a translation of a page. And it seems to work - at least after the second time ;-)

So, yes, it would by nice to have some additional functionality in the core, but we try the best with what we have.
And if you have any suggestions to improve the "user experience", I'm always happy to here them...
