[pmwiki-users] Help please was Re: Language: PmWiki group configuration for dummies - II

[Donald Z. Osborn]

Thanks Crisses, The basic question is, I think, whether the whole i18n
folder - or relevant files for the language(s) one needs - go directly into
the wikilib.d folder. Apparently at least some of them do? But if I want the
luxury of all languages, then that is a lot of files.

Originally I thought that the i18 folder as such would be accessed and
recognized. I unpacked
i18n.tgz<http://www.pmichaud.com/pub/pmwiki/i18n.tgz>on my computer
and did not attempt to do that on the server (not even sure
you can unpack via FTP). I'm obviously missing a couple of things here.

TIA for any pointers.

Don
