[pmwiki-users] MultiLanguage and (:if:)/(:else:)/(:elseif:)

[Clemens Gruber]

Ok, I have figured out, you do not need any elseif condition if you use
a default language:

    $DefaultLanguages = array('en'); 
    include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/multilanguage.php");

but in this case you don't have to use a empty language condition in the
wiki syntax, do _not_ this

    (:if userlang en:)
    English text.

    (:if userlang de:)

    (:if userlang fr:)

use only

    (:if userlang en:)
    English text.
