[Imc-wales] Hello. Is there anybody out there?

[Genny]

What do people think about this?  Do we want the UK site to have an 
option for Welsh navigation etc. and if so, are there people in the 
collective able and willing to make it happen translation-wise?  I think 
my own feeling is that we should perhaps get our pages for Cymru-Wales 
sorted out first, and then consider the options for having parts of the 
main site available in Welsh.

Big thanks to mish for sorting out the publish options.  If you go to 
the new mock-up Wales page/s (note new urls),

http://mish.dev.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/cymru-wales/
http://mish.dev.indymedia.org.uk/cy/regions/cymru-wales/

you can see (if you open the article "war machines in wrexham" in the 
right-hand column), that in both English and Welsh versions, 
"Cymru-Wales" displays at the top of the article, showing that the 
Cymru-Wales box has been ticked on the publish form.

Marc - did you manage to open the file I sent in the end, or find a way 
to edit the =english bits into Welsh?

Cheers

Genny
