Try i18n for one language (German) for ckan (de.ckan.net).

Basic approach to i18n is well-covered in Pylons book: ​http://pylonsbook.com/en/1.1/internationalization-and-localization.html

However, we need to integrate with our Genshi templates. Details on how to do this in comment: ​http://wiki.pylonshq.com/display/pylonsdocs/Internationalization+and+Localization

Steps

1. i18n templates
   • Extract content using Babel
   • Get genshi translation working
   • Do the translation!
2. i18n all strings in controllers (if any)
3. i18n forms

Add a way to share datasets and see mentions of datasets on twitter (and elsewhere)

As a visitor I want to share a link to a dataset I have found. I also want to see how many others have shared this (or mentioned it).

• Sharing platform: simplest option is probably twitter but could generalize to e.g. sharethis system which supports, facebook, twitter etc etc.
  • Will need a config option for relevant API key e.g. ckan.sharethis.apikey
• Location: Put this at top of sidebar on dataset view (a better suggsetion?)
• Should show how many mentions / shares there are. (very important!)

Discussion

• (Tom and Ira and ...): do we really want this, versus e.g. proper follow extension?
• What about bringing conversation back in to CKAN. E.g. show all times this dataset (i.e. its url) was mentioned on twitter. If we do this I think this should be definite +1.
• Also, given our users, I think just doing twitter (identica) may be sufficient (how many people want to share links to datasets on facebook?)

If a user enters a url with no protocol (eg: www.data.gov.uk) in the 'url' field of a dataset, a broken link is created on the view page.

CKAN should probably either put in a ​http:// if no protocol is given, or validation should fail.
