Subject: Key mode
Does anybody else have the same problem?  
Every time I'm logging into the site it switches to key mode, and I have to change the xx to se or en, or whatever language code.  It's also independent of which browser I'm using.
I've cleared the cash and all too.

Does anyone have a clue to what's wrong !?

basplund: When you click "Key Mode" your default language is set to xx just like when you click on a flag. Since that setting is stored on the server, the next time you login you'll be in KeyMode.
The sure way to get out of it is by clicking on a flag, to change your default language again.

Because of that, whenever I need to go to key mode, I simply type in the xx at the address bar, so it doesn't get saved, since in Simple Mode the flags are invisible.

pauloaguia:  What is key mode?

alanback: It's a tool for translator to know the key for the texts they need to translate. You can emulate it by replacing the language part in the page URL (pt, en or whatever language) with xx

pauloaguia: LOL now I'm just curious too.

Is it the /en that you replace with /xx? Sounds like a really nice tool for the Translators.

added: oh, geeze, you did say that. Sorry! I read too fast sometimes.

alanback: Perhaps it works only for translators... It really isn't important for anyone else, anyway...

Subject: Re: Key mode
alanback: I didnt either. As a matter of fact, I switched to ru, and then xx to see what it would do and it went back to English. I agree with pauloaguia this it is most likely only seen by Translators. Just as there are a few things that I can see as a Global that others cannot.

alanback: i think the xx will show you the language that the page was originally written in, which in most cases will probably be english, maybe czech

just a guess, but it might be helpful

tippyc: the xx will show the internal variable names instead of the real text

so the first few lines in the main menu on the left will show :
Global_GameHeader
Global_MainPageLink (28)
Global_NewGameLink
Global_WaitingGamesLink (2015)

while the 'send' button to send this message shows 'boards_send' and the button to send this edited message shows 'boards_editthispost'

the translators assign the real text to those keycodes .. the site shows the real text of the selected language to the user .. to make it more readable ;)

Hrqls:  I assume you're saying it works that way for translators, because it does not do so for me.
