== Modify your activity to use the data files ==

~~You~~ need ~~can modify~~ the ~~file activity_es.py and modify the lines~~:

To create a wikipedia in a new language, you will need create the following files:

~~self~~.~~WIKIDB =~~ '~~es_new/eswiki-20111112-pages-articles~~.~~xml'~~

* activity/activity.info.''lang'': is the activity.info file for your language. You can copy

~~self.HOME_PAGE = '/static/index_es~~.~~html'~~

one from other language, and modify the name, the bundle_id, the icon and the exec line.

to ~~point to your new data files or create~~ a ~~new different file~~, ~~for example activity_pt.py~~.

* activity/activity-wikipedia-''lang''.svg: is the activity icon. The file can be copied from

another language, and modify with a text editor the last text element, to put the labugage code.

If you need edit the image with a graphic editor (like Inkscape) remember add the entities lines

in the header and replace the entities for stroke_color and fill_color, after that.

~~If you create a new file~~, ~~you will~~ need ~~to modify~~ the ~~file~~ activity/activity.info to ~~point~~ to ~~this new file~~.

* activity_''lang''.py: is the startup class, sets the configuration values and starts the server.

You can copy the class from another language and set the parameters. You need set the name of the class,

equal than the value in the exec value in the activity/activity.info.lang file.

* static/about_''lang''.html: Is a static about page. Translate it from a similar page from other language.

* static/index_''lang''.html: is the activity home page. Will have links to good pages to start to explore.

If you create your favorite list based in a translation of the home page from other language, would be a good idea translate the home page too.

Now, you can test your changes, starting the wikipedia server:

./~~server~~.py es_lat/eswiki-20111112-pages-articles.xml 8000

./activity_''lang''.py es_lat/eswiki-20111112-pages-articles.xml 8000

The first parameter is your xml data file and the second parameter a number of port.

~~You can create a new icon too, or modify the existing activity/activity-wikipedia-es.svg file.~~

If you are creating a new wikipedia activity, it's important change the name and the bundle_id in the activity/activity.info file. If you are updating the data in a existinting activity, the activity_version value must be changed.

Finally, to create the new .xo file and distribute it, you must do:
