Dear all We consider using MoinMoin (1.2.3) for technical documentation in our organization. To this end, I started a norwegian (bokmal) translation of MoinMoin (ISO code nb). I just finished a second walk through the .po file and expect it to be finished and proofread early next week (maybe I should add this to http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinDev/Translation?). Now I have the following question: After looking through the documentation and peeking a bit into the code I have the understanding that the language specific system- and help files must have unique names. Is this correct, or did I miss something? If this is the case, than we might sooner or later run into a problem. The scandinavian languages are quite close together, so it is not always easy to find meaningful names distinct from the ones used by our scandinavian friends. It gets worse by the fact that there exist two norwegian languages (bokmal, ISO nb, and nynorsk, nn). Both languages are so close together that many pages would end up with the same name, and the only way would probably be to introduce a postfix (which does not really look good). For the time being, we do not intend to build a nynorsk version, otoh, public institutions are required to offer both choices, so we might have to sometime in the future.
