Hi all,

after some work the last days there is now the first version of our pages 
with language handling.

For testing there is a temporary web server at 

http://women.kde.org:8080 

were you can see the results. In the cvs I made a branch called 
"BRANCH_WITHOUT_LANG". The new pages are in HEAD, the old pages you can get 
with 
cvs up -r BRANCH_WITHOUT_LANG

I realized the language handling with the PHP4 session functions. Standard is 
the use of cookies, but it works also without cookies. The only bad thing is, 
that for each page, the server tries to send you a cookie again.
There is a nice article about this method at 
http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/mattias20000105.php3

But cookies are not eval.... I read a lot about it while coding the stuff. 
The cookies contain a domain name, which restricts the access to this cookie 
to this domain. I set this to "women.kde.org". And there is a expiration 
date. For the usual session managemant this is set to "end of session". Thus 
the cookie gets deleted when you close your browser. There is another cookie, 
which you receive, when you change the language. This cookie persists for 30 
days.
For germans: there is an interesting article about cookies at 
http://www.koehntopp.de/php/faq-phplib.html#phplib-6

Please have a look at the site and tell me what you think about it. 

The language handling is now realizied for all content pages. So far I didn't 
take care of things like: 
- subtopics pages
- page title (which are in the title bar of the browser)
- single strings that are somwhere in the php-code. Maybe we can use gettext 
with po/mo files here? Has anyone used this before?
- the buttons 

And at the end, there is some eyecandy for you. hhyy sent in some screenshots 
of her first translations, which you can see at
