Question

How i can change the TWiki Language to German without Using UserInterfaceInternationalisation

i have set follow Configures:

$TWiki::cfg{Site}{Locale} = 'de_DE.iso885915@euro';

$TWiki::cfg{Site}{CharSet} = 'iso-8859-15';

$TWiki::cfg{Site}{Lang} = 'de';

$TWiki::cfg{Site}{FullLang} = 'de-de';

but this works only when i enable the UserInterfaceInternationalisation

I'm using Apache with ActivePerl under Win2k3

I guess what is bothering you is the language list in the top bar. With your current settings and enabling UserInterfaceInternationalisation you can use this for the WebTopBar and get rid of the language list.

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:100%; margin-top:12px;">
<tr><td valign="middle"><span id="twikiLogo" class="twikiImage"><a href="%WEBLOGOURL%"><img src="%WEBLOGOIMG%" border="0" alt="%WEBLOGOALT%" style="border:none;" /></a></span></td>
<td align="right" valign="top" class="patternMetaMenu">
<noautolink>
   * <form name="jumpForm" action="%SCRIPTURLPATH{"view"}%/%BASEWEB%/%BASETOPIC%"><input id="jumpFormField" type="text" class="twikiInputField" name="topic" value="" size="18" /><noscript>&nbsp;<input type="submit" class="twikiButton" size="5" name="submit" value="%MAKETEXT{"Jump"}%" />&nbsp;</noscript>
   </form>
   * <form name="quickSearchForm" action="%SCRIPTURLPATH{view}%/%INCLUDINGWEB%/WebSearch"><input type="text" class="twikiInputField" id="quickSearchBox" name="search" value="" size="18" /><input type="hidden" name="scope" value="all" /><input type="hidden" name="web" value="%BASEWEB%" /><noscript>&nbsp;<input type="submit" size="5" class="twikiButton" name="submit" value="%MAKETEXT{"Search"}%" />&nbsp;</noscript>
   </form>
</noautolink></td></tr></table>

Another approach would be to fully translate to German all the templates in twiki\templates, at least all that belong to Pattern Skin (they have the word pattern in the filename). That way you will prevent the constant use of MAKETEXT function.
