WackoWiki: Translating

https://wackowiki.org/doc     Version: 193 (06.07.2023 11:06)

Translating

This guide is about translating WackoWiki to another language.

WackoWiki‘s userinterface can be configured to use any language by setting the appropriate option. Have a look in the lang/ directory to see which languages are already available. To translate WackoWiki to your own language, copy the lang/en/ directory to a new one named after your two-letter ISO language code[link1].
