The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün - CRU <address@concealed>]

Sorry if I missunderstood your question.

You can specify the language parameter as a GET parameter ; both
examples below work :

• http://listes.cru.fr/sympa/set_lang/el
• http://listes.cru.fr/sympa?action="set_lang&lang=el
  

The limitation of this technic is that you can build a link to the
service homepage but nothing more precise (eg: list homepage), since
you can't provide 2 "action" parameters in a single URL and "set_lang"
is required to change the language of the user interface.
