Plugin is:

titled BOA - Bilingual pages swapper,
placed locally at $:/plugins/boa/langswap,
placed globally at https://protw.github.io/templ,
dependent on other plugins Shiraz and Utility.

The plugin sets an additional button at the top right of a tiddler intended for switching between identical pages in Ukrainian and English. The name of the translated matching tiddler is written in the tiddler field swap.

Definitely, the plugin can be easily rewritten for any other pair of languages!

For example, we have two matching tiddlers titled Стаття and Article, respectively in Ukrainian and English. In order to ensure correct transition from tiddler Стаття in its field swap the value Article must be specified, and in tiddler Article in the same field swap – the value Стаття, respectively. Also, each of the two tiddlers must be tagged with their language, Ukr or Eng, respectively.

Additionally, the plugin creates two tag tiddlers Ukr and Eng, each of which stores an ordered list of all the tiddlers tagged with the Ukr or Eng, respectively. Moreover, the order of the tiddlers in these lists can be rearranged using drag-and-drop by pre-clicking on the tag icon Ukr or Eng. And that's not all - there are a couple of navigation buttons previous | next in the bottom of each tiddler from the list. The functionality specified here is provided with a simple-navigation macros, which is part of the plugin $:/plugins/kookma/utility.

Also, the plugin creates two plane content tables Зміст and Content based on the Ukr and Eng tags, respectively. These two tables of content are placed in the sidebar under Content-Зміст tab.

Nice, I see this being useful in the US were bilingual is becoming more commonplace.

I like how it uses your work combined with Mohammad's -- combining the skills of both of you.

Hi Olegh,

Really great stuff. Love them!

One question: Do you prepare both tiddlers in Uk/En or this is done by code?

Thanks for your comments. It's true, Mohammad's framework (Shiraz & Utility) makes user's life much easier.

Thanks for clarification Olegh!

I understood both tiddlers (one in Ukranian and one in English) are manually prepared and they are existed in the wiki!

Mohammad,

I've caught your question - you were asking about the wiki content, consisting of pairs of Ukr/Eng tiddlers. Yes, both tiddlers in each pair are prepared manually, then they are tagged with Ukr and Eng, respectively, and, finally, the field swap is created in both of tiddlers for cross-referencing. That is the whole technology for a wiki writer.

Mohammad,

I wanted to optimize the plugin moving the TOC code from the tiddler Content into the tag tiddler Eng. However, I encountered a strange "double displaying" effect:

Could you hint how to sort out this effect?

The tiddler you sent the snapshot is tagged with $:/tags/ViewTemplate so it shows the result one time

but then the result is displayed on this tiddler and every other tiddler through this tiddler as it is a view template tiddler!

The filter you have used should be modified to act on certain tiddler!

For example

<$list filter="[all[current]tag[Filter Operators]]"> ...

Then ViewTemplate only works on tiddler tagged with Filter Operators

I haven't incorporated plugin's yet but i often incorporate others code snippets along with mine in a mad construct-- see the tiddler I post in the Covid contination thread-- combines Tobias', Mohammad's, Jed Carty's code along with mine-- if the code wasn't chained down I borrowed it >> <<

hopefully someone will get it added to the Toolmap, perhaps submit it to the Community section at tiddlywik.com

Dear all,

please find an updated version of my plugin langswap for organizing and managing the bilingual wiki content:

https://protw.github.io/templ/#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Fboa%2Flangswap

The embedded readme description includes an exhausted yet simple procedure of plugin's readjustment into an alternative arbitrary pair of languages.

Enjoy...

Olegh
