The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Andreas Speck <address@concealed>]

Hi there,
  thanks - we have several languages installed - and it is possible to 
change the interface language via the menu which is part of the web 
interface. We have several languages installed, and that works fine *and 
we are looking into contributing to a Russian translation).
However, the default is English - even though a user can change their 
default, but that will only be possible after login.

What we would like to do is to have links in the different language 
versions of our website to different language versions of the sympa web 
interface. A simple link to /sympa will always bring up the default 
language, which is English:
- english -> english language sympa interface (default)
- french -> french language sympa interface
etc...

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks,
Andreas
