<A name="index_42_358"></A>
</P>
<P>
Not all CD text in generated pages is produced from source files. There are phrases that are inserted automatically, like <I>"Proceedings"</I> as title of the link generated to a speakers additional materials.
</P>
<P>
The language these texts are written in is set by a <A name="index_42_359"></A><CODE>makefile</CODE> macro <CODE><A name="index_42_360"></A>DEFAULT_LANGUAGE</CODE>. It is optional and defaults to <CODE><A name="index_42_361"></A>en</CODE>, which means English. As this tool was developed for the <A name="index_42_362"></A><A HREF="http://www.perlworkshop.de" target="_blank">German Perl Workshop</A>, the second language setting currently supported is <CODE><A name="index_42_363"></A>de</CODE> (for German). More languages can be easily added on request.
</P>
<P>
So a call of <CODE><A name="index_42_364"></A>make</CODE> can use this macro to configure the default language settting:
</P>
<P>
<center>
</P>
<TABLE BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=5 WIDTH=80%><TR><TD bgcolor="#e5e5e5"><PRE>
<FONT COLOR="#000000">
make <FONT COLOR=red>DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=de</FONT></FONT></PRE></TD></TR></TABLE>
<P>
</center>
</P>
<P>
If this is a permanent setting for a project, it is easier to edit this setting inside the <CODE><A name="index_42_365"></A>makefile</CODE>:
</P>
<P>
<center>
</P>
<TABLE BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=5 WIDTH=80%><TR><TD bgcolor="#e5e5e5"><PRE>
<FONT COLOR="#000000">
<FONT COLOR=green># default language (falls back to "en")</FONT>
<FONT COLOR=red>DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=de</FONT></FONT></PRE></TD></TR></TABLE>
<P>
</center>
</P>
<P>
Nevertheless, not all speakers provide abstracts in the default language, which can lead to inconsistent pages.
</P>
<P>
<center>
</P>
<TABLE BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=5 WIDTH=80%><TR><TD bgcolor="#e5e5e5"><PRE>
<FONT COLOR="#000000">
If the default language is German, "Unterlagen"
below an English abstract doesn't look perfect.</FONT></PRE></TD></TR></TABLE>
<P>
</center>
</P>
<P>
So the language setting can be modified for every single page, in a file named <CODE><directory level type>.lang</CODE> (<CODE><A name="index_42_366"></A>author.lang</CODE>, <CODE><A name="index_42_367"></A>talk.lang</CODE> etc.). The language shortcut is expected in the first line. Here is an example:
