10.3 How do I set my preferred language?</a>
57
Mailman is available with many different languages.
58
(For a complete listing see <a class="url" href="http://mailman.sourceforge.net/i18n.html">http://mailman.sourceforge.net/i18n.html</a>.) This means that, if your list has
59
other languages enabled, you may be able to have the web interface, etc. in a
60
language of your choice.
63
<span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b>
64
This does NOT necessarily mean that all the posts sent to the list will
65
be in the language you selected. Only the pre-prepared texts presented by
66
Mailman will be affected by this setting. Posts are in whatever language the
70
Your preferred language is set when you subscribe (see
71
Section<a href="node13.html#sec:subscribe">5.1</a>), and can be changed later if the list supports
72
more than one language.
75
To change your preferred language in Mailman,
78
<li>Log in to your member options page. (See Section <a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a> for
79
instructions on how to do this.)
81
<li>Go to the section marked "What language do you prefer?" and choose
82
the appropriate language from the drop-down list. If there is no
83
drop-down list of languages, the list you are on probably only supports
89
If your list does not support the language you would prefer to use, you may
90
contact the list administrator (LISTNAME-owner@DOMAIN) to see if it can be
91
added, but remember that this may mean some work that the list and/or site
92
administrator(s) do not have time or the ability to do.
95
If your language of choice is not available because no translation
96
exists for Mailman, please consider volunteering your time as a translator.
97
For more information you may want to consult the mailman-i18n mailing
98
list at <a class="url" href="http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-i18n">http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-i18n</a>.
99
(i18n is a common short-hand for "internationalization" because the word starts
100
with an i, ends with an n, and has 18 letters in between. If you mumble a bit,
101
i18n even sounds a bit like "internationalization.")
