Of course, Mailman won't translate list +postings. :) + +<P> +However, if your site administrator has enabled its support, you can +set your list up to support any of about two dozen languages, such as +German, Italian, Japanese, or Spanish. Your list members can then +choose any of your supported languages as their <i>preferred +language</i> for interacting with the list. Such things as their member +options page will be displayed in this language. Each mailing list +also has its own <i>preferred language</i> which is the language the +list supports if no other language context is known. + +<P> +These variables control the language settings for your mailing list: + +<P> +<DL> +<DT><STRONG>preferred_language</STRONG></DT> +<DD>This is the list's preferred language, which is the language that + the list administrative pages will be displayed in. Also any + messages sent to the list owners by Mailman will be sent in this + language. This option is presented as a drop-down list containing + the language enabled in the <code>available_languages</code> variable. + +<P> +</DD> +<DT><STRONG>available_languages</STRONG></DT> +<DD>This set of checkboxes contains all the natural languages that + your site administrator has made available to your mailing lists. + Select any language that you'd either like your members to be able + to view the list in, or that you'd like to be able to use in your + list's <code>preferred_language</code> variable. + +<P> +</DD> +<DT><STRONG>encode_ascii_prefixes</STRONG></DT> +<DD>If your mailing list's preferred language uses a non-ASCII + character set and the <code>subject_prefix</code> contains non-ASCII + characters, the prefix will always be encoded according to the + relevant standards. However, if your subject prefix contains only + ASCII characters, you may want to set this option to <i>Never</i> + to disable prefix encoding. This can make the subject headers + slightly more readable for users with mail readers that don't + properly handle non-ASCII encodings. + +<P> +Note however, that if your mailing list receives both encoded and + unencoded subject headers, you might want to choose <i>As + needed</i>. Using this setting, Mailman will not encode ASCII + prefixes when the rest of the header contains only ASCII + characters, but if the original header contains non-ASCII + characters, it will encode the prefix. This avoids an ambiguity + in the standards which could cause some mail readers to display + extra, or missing spaces between the prefix and the original + header. +</DD> +</DL> + +<P> + +<DIV CLASS="navigation"> +<p><hr> +<table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> +<tr> +<td><A HREF="node16.html"><img src="../icons/previous.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="Previous Page" width="32"></A></td> +<td><A HREF="node9.html"><img src="../icons/up.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="Up One Level" width="32"></A></td> +<td><A HREF="node18.html"><img src="../icons/next.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="Next Page" width="32"></A></td> +<td align="center" width="100%">GNU Mailman - List Administration Manual</td> +<td><A href="contents.html"><img src="../icons/contents.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="Contents" width="32"></A></td> +<td><img src="../icons/blank.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="" width="32"></td> +<td><img src="../icons/blank.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="" width="32"></td> +</tr></table> +<b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node16.html">3.2 The Passwords Category</A> +<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node9.html">3 The List Configuration</A> +<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node18.html">3.4 The Membership Management</A> +<hr> +<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on October 2, 2004.</span> +</DIV> +<!--End of Navigation Panel--> + +</BODY> +</HTML> |
