[opencms-dev] OpenCMS 6.0-alpha2 Multi-language support

[Gavin, Ben]

Hi,
  I'm in the process of evaluating whether or not OpenCMS will fit well
for a new application we are developing.  I like the new 6.0 editor and
apparent support for multiple language content, but I am a little
confused on two points.  Searching the mailing list archives has not
turned up much, and the documentation is pretty bare [or nonexistant].
I am hoping that someone can answer these questions for me, as I'd
rather not go back to the 5.x version of OpenCMS.

1.  I see that I can choose the template and edit the content in a
variety of languages [English/German by default].  However, I am
uncertain how I notify the server that it should serve me a specific
languages' content.  I've tried specifying various querystring
arguments, URL modifications and altering my browsers accepted language
choice, but none seem to have any effect on the content generated.  How
do I tell the OpenCMS system to spit out the alternate languages for a
given content page?

2.  I see English and German are included by default in the 6.0
distribution.  I also found that I can get Spanish added to the option
list if I install the 5.x localization package, however, the Spanish
option is not included in the preferences dialog of the administration
interface [even though it is available in the content editor].  How do I
go about adding additional content languages [_not_ administrative
localizations]?

Thanks!
Ben
