9.5.3 Manual setup

9.5.3.1 Define the languages

This can be done via the Administration console of the Daisy Wiki.

9.5.3.2 Create a collection

If not yet available, create a collection of which the documents will be part. The different language variants will all belong to the same collection. Do not use a collection per language.

9.5.3.3 Create a home page and navigation tree document

If you have no initial documents yet, start by creating a home page document and a navigation tree document.

In either case, add language variants for the home page document and navigation tree document for all desired languages.

9.5.3.4 Define a site for each language

While it is possible to view and edit all language variants of a document through one site, this is in fact only intended for exceptional usage. The normal way to work is to create one site per language (same holds for branches).

Setting up a site is detailed in the sites documentation. There is currently no GUI for this, but it is simply a matter of creating a directory with a siteconf.xml file in it.

In the siteconf.xml, pay special attention to the language, defaultReferenceLanguage and collection. The ID of the home page and navigation tree document will be the same for all the sites, but each site will usage another language variant of those documents.
