and I'm copying my test directory to

http://dev.laptop.org/~dbagnall/activities/

in case anyone is curious.  It doesn't have the Apache magic to choose
the language, so you can see all the files.  The interesting ones are
http://dev.laptop.org/~dbagnall/activities/index.html.es (thanks to
martin) and the ones in non-latin scripts which are indistinguishable
from the English until you scroll to the bottom -- because their
scripts come last in sort order.

http://dev.laptop.org/~dbagnall/activities/metadata.info is an example
of the file you'd use to put (stupid) descriptive comments in the
generated HTML, while the template files for different languages are under
http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/dbagnall/xs-activity-server.git;a=tree;f=templates;hb=HEAD

As a matter of interest, of my sample of now 129 activities, these are
the numbers of professed localisations:

but that should be taken with much salt. Many, perhaps most, of the
.linfo files just contain the English text.
