Hi,

To include ko as a selectable language code from the dropdown menu  
you'll also need to update the language.tab file.

Do:

wget -O /home/httpd/lonTabs/language.tab  
'http://source.loncapa.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/loncom/publisher/language.tab?rev=1.26;content-type=text%2Fplain'

then:

/etc/init.d/httpd reload

(I agree with you that some of the items in the language selection  
list in the domain coordinator's configuration menu for language,  
timezone etc. are not readable -- that will be fixed in die course).

In the meantime, if you use:

Preferences -> Language

(hover over your name at the top left of a LON-CAPA page to display a  
list which includes "Preferences") you'll see a readable language  
selection list, and be able to set your language preference to Korean.

>>
>> Currently the ko.pm file contains about 10,000 keys (phrases in
>> English).  As you make translations, you will replace the
>> corresponding value for each key with the translation of the phrase
>> used for the key (currently each value is the same as the original key).
>>
>> Lexicons for other languages (de.pm -- the lexicon for German is the

>> file) can be found at:

>> http://source.loncapa.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/loncom/localize/localize
