[Imc-wales] links between the versions

[Genny]

That looks good - thanks mish.

When you say the translation options will be on every page, does that 
mean on every Cymru-Wales page or on every UK page too?  If it's the 
latter, then we have some more translation to do, of the static uk 
pages, which could be started now since those are already agreed, unlike 
ours.

Something else I wondered about... at the top of each article are the 
various regions, topics etc. which have been ticked during the publish 
process.  On the development site,  there's now a tick box "Wales". 
Although we would have a separate publish form in Welsh in which this 
tick box could be labelled "Cymru", am I right that the final product, 
in English or Welsh or a combination of the two, will be just one 
published document rather than a separate one for each language?  If 
that's the case, then we need to make sure that what's displayed at the 
top of the published article is "Cymru-Wales" or similar.  That make sense?

Cheers

Genny
