Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] proposal for demo sites

[Dave Hall]

Forced prefs does this.  I think multilingual demos are important.

Don Graver provided a patch to allow this as a click option.  The other
option I would like to see is demo-<lang code> pass lang(guest) so the
lang change does not confuse people, but that will take some work to do
for each demo site,

Cheers

Dave
