Extension:MultiLanguageManager

The MultiLanguageManager extension allows you to add multi-languages capacities to a wiki:

• You can define a list of available languages
• You can define a page to be a variant of another page within the same wiki
• On a page with variants a special navigation will be displayed ("flags") that allow to switch between those pages
• The interface language for anonymous users will automatically be changed to match the language of the page

ATTENTION: This extension does not use the built-in Page content language mechanism of MediaWiki. If that is desired, use the PerPageLanguage extension.

• Download and move the extracted MultiLanguageManager folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:

  cdextensions/
  gitclonehttps://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/MultiLanguageManager
  

• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'MultiLanguageManager' );
  

• Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
• Yes Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

The configuration is done using the $mgAvailableLanguages variable which contains the code of language and the code of its name in the file MultiLanguageManager_setup.php.

$mgAvailableLanguages = array(
 'en',
 'fr'
);

You can manage who has the rights to modify the linguistic parameters of the pages. You can set those users rights to match with an existing right using the $mgLanguagePermisionsKey variable. For example to set the linguistic rights to match the edition article rights:

$mgLanguagePermisionsKey = 'edit';

But you could also choose an other rights language:

$mgLanguagePermisionsKey = 'language';

Then think of set the rights according to the groups:

$wgGroupPermissions['*'][$mgLanguagePermisionsKey] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['user'][$mgLanguagePermisionsKey] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop'][$mgLanguagePermisionsKey] = true;
