Menu language problem with Wiki
Just clicked on "OpenOffice Wiki: Documentation area" link under
http://www.openoffice.org/support/#community-support.
The page that is displayed has English body text, but Dutch (I think)
for the menu bar.
Clicking other languages (under "Ander tale") changes the body text,
but not the menu.
However, when I try the same in Opera and Chrome, the menu stays in English.
Very odd.

OK, you mean when you get TO the wiki Documenation page. I tried this just
now also -- to ES. As you say, It does change the contents of the wiki page
but not the left menu -- you are correct. I am not a Media Wiki guru, but I
would image that side menu template needs some function applied to it on a
language change to make this happen.
Maybe a fun project for a volunteer to investigate.

I need new glasses. Sorry for the wrong, clueless reply. I may know more in the future since I will be looking into the details of how mwiki constructs its pages.

The menu language is under the control of what directory the user is in and if that has templates/<lang>/ssi.mdtext and has content/<lang>/topnav.mdtext

Sorry, my fault - I'd forgotten I'd been playing with the languages
setting in Firefox.
It was actually Afrikaans.
However, given that the menu is available in languages other than
English, why does it not change when the user selects a different
language?
