It did not.

Now, I underdand!. Sorry. I have added {t}Change language to{/t} to
@title. You can get the result at:
http://www.gnuherds.org/templates/header.tpl


I have not used:
    {t}Change language to English{/t}
    {t}Change language to Spanish{/t}
    {t}Change language to French{/t}
    ...
to avoid duplication for the translators.  If we add some translation to
our site which has problems with this construction
    {t}Change language to{/t} {t}lang{/t}
we could think about it again.

Added this too.

Modified too.

You can get the result at: http://www.gnuherds.org/templates/header.tpl

I have checked it with validator.w3.org and with the textual browser
'w3m'. If you think it is right, you can get the .tpl file from the above
URL and commit it to CVS.

For my development environment, I use the same www.gnuherds.org host
(hosted now at my home :P ), with a no-public host-name "g-00.org" ,
which I have added to the /etc/hosts file:
   192.168.0.2  g-00.org

I did not add it to the DNS server, to avoid Google and others search
engines index it, adding so that mess to the search results :P


Better than a central testing environment, each developer should have her
own environment. It is possible!.  If you are unable to setup one at your
home, I can setup one for you at this same machine, following the below
steps:

  1. I create an account for you
  2. I add g-your-name.org to /etc/hosts
  3. I create the virtual domain of g-your-name.org at Apache
  4. You add the below line to your /etc/hosts
        217.127.236.41  g-your-name.org

If you agree, let me know the name for your account, "victor"?
and for your development domain, "g-victor.org" ?
