(:Summary:variables used for internationalization (i18n):)

This page describes the variables used by PmWiki for [[Internationalizations]] (i18n).

:$VarPagesFmt:An array which contains the PageNames where you can find variable definitions.  To be modified when documentation is not in english.  See ''scripts/vardoc.php''.

:$XL:An array (hash) which contains pairs of language identifiers and translation hashes. Each translation hash maps a given lookup key (or phrase) into a corresponding text string for the given language. Thus, it is essentially a multi-lingual dictionary used for phrase translation.  It is also used for handling user preference mappings. Thus, the 'e_row' value that one finds on the [[Site.Preferences]] page is loaded into $XL during preference processing.

:$XLLangs:An array that contains the names of the currently active language definitions. Only dictionaries in $XL that are named in $XLLangs are used by the [=$[...]=] markup when performing a translation.
