This form allows you to create a new "Locale" -- an object representing a language and a region that can be used in translating Yioop to a new language.

  • The '''Name''' field should be filled in with a name for the locale in the language of the locale.
  • So for French you would put Français.
  • The '''Locale tag''' field should be the IETF language tag. For example, fr-FR for French

from France.

  • The '''Writing Mode''' dropdown says the direction text runs in for

this locale, which Yioop uses to lay out pages written in it. There are four choices: lr-tb, left to right from the top of the page down, as in English; rl-tb, right to left from the top down, as in Hebrew and Arabic; tb-rl, top to bottom with lines running right to left, as in Classical Chinese; and tb-lr, top to bottom with lines running left to right, as in non-Cyrillic Mongolian and American Sign Language. Pick the one your language is normally written in; where a language is written more than one way, pick the way readers of your site expect.

  • The '''Locale Enabled''' checkbox says whether or not users of this Yioop installation can select this

locale from various language dropdown that appear on the Yioop site.
