Never mind, i'm using a workaround that should work fine. I found
several bugs in the Session class and the webpage editor. I will get
into details tomorrow, it's late now.

So far, only the header template is complete, but i implemented most
of the needed functions. I removed the language string from the url
for 2 reasons. First, it's useless, it can easily be stored inside a
cookie or a session object. Second, and most important, search engines
will detect as many pages as languages the wiki supports, all of them
using the same url path. So when an user searches for a symbol, he
get's a result for every language found. Double that if the symbol has
the same name in gambas2.
Search engines automatically convert the search terms into synonyms
using the user's browser language, so search results should be much
cleaner with this change. Besides, there is an option, at least in
google, to specify what language a website should use using and url
parameter.

Same happened with the version. They are both stored inside a cookie,
so they persist across sessions (once i get sessions to work, i will
make the switch)

If possible, could you please send me a partial dump of the database?
I only need a few articles that cover any possible variant the wiki
can handle, it's really hard to test only by reading the code.

Thanks!
