Hi easies,

I'm looking for the reason, why the multilanguage feature is limited to 30 languages:

http://pubsvn.ez.no/nextgen/trunk/doc/features/3.8/multi-language_features.txt

line 34

Has anybody an idea or knows it, before I do a deeper research?

Thanks and greetings, ekke

Hi Ekkehard

I guess it has something to do with the maximum length of the language_mask bit field used.

I think we should consider increasing this limit at least a bit more (pun intended!).
The BBC website uses 33 languages.

Kristof is right...

a 64bit int would double the languages possible.
