Language override menu
----------------------

         Key: FOR-579
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-579
     Project: Forrest
        Type: New Feature
  Components: Core operations =20
    Versions: 0.8-dev   =20
    Reporter: Sjur N. Moshagen


The present i18n features of Forrest is a good start, but to be really usef=
ul there has to be a way to present the available language variants of a pa=
ge/site to readers to choose from.

To be as flexible as possible, this menu should be generated pr document, a=
nd should reflect the available language variants of that document (this as=
 opposed to a fixed set of available languages for the whole site). That is=
, given the following documents, the corresponding language override menus =
should be generated:

index_es.xml
index_en.xml
index_no.xml
index_se.xml

should give the menu:

Spanish (es)
English (en)
Norwegian (no)
North S=C3=A1mi (se)

whereas the following document list:

index2_es.xml
index2_no.xml
index2_se.xml

should give the menu:

Spanish (es)
Norwegian (no)
North S=C3=A1mi (se)

In the best case the language of the displayed document should be highlight=
ed and unavailable for selection.

The location and display of this menu should be configurable from skinconf.=
xml. I would sugggest the following defaults:

Location: same bar as the document track, but on the right end of that bar
Display: as a list of language links (that is, the default should not be a =
popup menu, although that could of course be a skin/skinconf alternative)
