I know I'm no expert when it comes to Drupal, but I'm learning. I thought I'd share what I came up with when attempting to localize a site I'm working on...
Basically, if you change the way the $custom_links is created in the conf.php from:
# Custom navigation links:
#
# Custom navigation links override the standard page links offered
# by most Drupal modules. Administrators may add/remove/reorder all
# links here. These links are typically displayed in a row near the
# top of every page.
// $custom_links = array(
// "<a href=\"index.php\">home</a>",
// "<a href=\"blog\">journal</a>",
// "<a href=\"story\">articles</a>");
to:
#
# Custom navigation links:
#
# Custom navigation links override the standard page links offered
# by most Drupal modules. Administrators may add/remove/reorder all
# links here. These links are typically displayed in a row near the
# top of every page. ("link" => "display name to be localized")
$custom_links = array(
"intro" => "Introduction",
"user/login" => "Login",
"mission" => "Mission",
"contact" => "Contact");
and then modify includes/common.inc; change:
function link_page() {
global $custom_links;
if (is_array($custom_links)) {
$links = "";
foreach($custom_links as $key => $value) {
$links[] = l(t($value), $key, array());
