As you may know FUDforum 2.0 has i18n support, which allows for support of different languages within the forum.
Currently there are four languages that are available from the default installation:
- English w/spellcheck
- Chinese
- German w/spellcheck
- Polish w/spellcheck
- Spanish w/spellcheck
- Swedish w/spellcheck
- Turkish
If you would like to translate the forum to another language, you can do so quite easily by translating the text inside a single file, where all of the FUDforum's text messages are stored.
- Inside your forum installation go to the i18n directory.
- Make a copy of 'english' directory and give that directory the name of the language your translating the forum to.
- Now you can go into the newly created directory and edit the msg file, which contains all of the messages.
- If you want to see how your changes look like, go to the admin control panel and use the 'Language' admin control panel to change the forum's language to the language you've translated the forum to.
- Once you've completed the translation send it to <a href="mailto:forum(at)prohost(dot)org" target=_new>forum(at)prohost(dot)org</a>

Thanks to tiufang, we now have a Turkish translation of the forum.
If you would like to use it, grab the latest forum from the CVS.

Thanks to vidaubannais FUDforum now includes a French translation.
Since Pspell library has a French dictionary it means that FUDforum will be able to spell check messages in French.

I will try to make some sort of a script that would allow me the prepare a report of sorts that I'll post on the forum making a list of translations that are 'behind the times' and need updates.
So, that the translators can quickly see if there is any pending translations for them to do.

Hi,
maybe this automation could allow to generate informal messages, be it a PM here or an e-mail notification. Just an idea, it would be a nice way to stay informed, even if u re not a regular on the forum.
bye

The font used for creation of the buttons is "trsahpenguenb.ttf' you'll find it attached to this message. The font sizes are 12 or 11 for translations where text strings simply do not fit with the 12 font.
The colors & button templates can be checked out from the cvs using:
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous(at)asuka(dot)prohost(dot)org:/forum21 checkout fud21_img

Hello,
before the final is around the corner I'd like to update the remaining untranslated strings. file is from the latest CVS I pulled an hour ago so it should be still recent.
bye

Actually that font tag is needed to close the font tag opened on line #169.
I checked the English translation with w3c HTML validator and there does not appear to be an issue of excessive font tags.
Edit: Oh yeah, I've added your translation to the CVS, thanks.

Hm doesn't make much sense. You can't use font recursively, this will lead to unexpected results. Instead you have to open and close them each time you want to change the color (which is of course annoying). Or much better you should replace the font tags with CSS, as they're depricated.
<span class="mystyle"> as substitute would make more sense and would result in less code.

There is nothing wrong with recursive <font> tags, they are perfectly valid.
<font color="black">fdffdffs<font color="red">fdsaf</font>fdsfsdaf</font> etc... is perfectly acceptable and is rendered properly by all browsers I am aware of.

by the way: you can remove this opening <font> tag, it's not needed anyway, as each character opens up a <font> of its own.
Olliver
edit: here's the helpfile version where I also removed the start tag. both start and end tag aren't needed because there aren't any characters outside of the font blocks.

if you want it the lazy way you can define inline CSS attributes as well, this would result in "clean" HTML 4.0 (=not using deprecated elements)
<span style="color:#0000FF">Blue Text</span>

True, but deprecated tags still work and as far as I know all browsers support them and will support them for many years to come.
