Attached tp this message is the dictionary file that contains all the phrase used by the forum. If you want to translate the forum to a different language please download this file.

The file's format is pretty simple:

text_key: text_message

"text_message" is what you should actually translate.

the text_message in some cases may contain things like {VAR: somevar} and little bit of HTML formatting, leave those in when you do the translation, you may need to move then to correspond with the grammar of the language you're translating the forum to though...

If you have any questions contact me via this forum...

Once you do the translation attach the translated file to your reply and in the reply include the language you've translated it to as well as which Charset this is in. Charset is the HTTP header that is passed to the browser, which tells the browser in what language this page is in. If you don't know the charset, leave it blank and I'll try to figure it out myself.

Once the text is translated I'll create a graphics pack with PNG version of the images that have text on them, so that they could be translated to other languages.

I'm working on a translation to Swedish. Sometimes it is quite difficult to know exactly how to translate something when the phrase is totally out of context. When will we be able to test the language file in a "real life" situation?


Within a few days at most I'll setup a specific text forum for testing such things, so that you could see which text you are working on.

Hello,
at the time of writing I've been working on the German translation for a couple of hours already. As u might know already there are some strange characters in German which I have to transcribe to ß or ö for instance to be HTML compliant. Do u think that could interfere with the forum scripts? I'm asking because I already experienced trouble with a translation array that just used ' instead of " for quoting. As a consequence all buttons containing special characters refused to work. So I better ask in advance before posting a language file that might be the source of strange errors Wink.
In case of concerns from ur side I could alternatively write the characters as is, but then I cannot guarantee that they will be displayed if a charset other then iso-8859-1 or iso-8859-15 would be used. Let me know about this issue.
Thanks in advance
Ken

If you need such characters please use their HTML equivalents such as ö & ß

This will be of great help.

Hello,
Hm, I stick to the commonly used charset in Germany, and that's iso-8859-1. U get the Euro by typing "€" (without quotation marks) into the source of ur HTML formatted page. I get the symbol even on that charset when typing "as is", so there's no actually no need for switching to the other one. However, keep in mind that Swedish uses some characters that cannot be typed with an average German keyboard, so ur choice may be the right one in ur case.
Bye
Ken

Hello,
I tested the Euro sign using iso-8859-1 on a webpage by modifying the heading to lots of that symbols, both as html and "as is". The result was, that Netscape 4.79, Opera 6.01, Mozilla 0.99 and Internet Explorer 6.0 showed the correct symbols. However I'm aware that it's just the way how it looks like when using Windows. Same is under Linux, nothing is missing (Redhat 7.2, Gnome 1.4 with all current updates). What Operating System did u use when u became aware of that issue? I suspect this could be the reason. Also running Linux with the wrong locale setting could lead to such a result, too. I know it because Seawolf (RH7.1) installed itself per default with the wrong locale, so that logging into Gnome ur desktop was all screwed up at first unless u changed it to the proper setting Wink

Hello,
Looks like this problem will occur if the chosen font for the desktop has no support for the "Euro" sign (though being announced as iso-8859-1). If the iso-8859-15 is a workaround for that special situation then maybe it's safer to use it instead. At any case using it wouldn't do any harm to the translation file Smile.

Hmm interesting suggestion, I'll need to try it.

I was considering having a character set per language, thus prevent any "confusion" by the browser, but if like you say iso-8859-15 charset has all we need then great Smile

Hello,
I think u should stick to the charset per language solution, because u can only apply iso-8859-15 to Western (Latin 1) encoded languages. Most Slavic languages in Center and East Europe use a different charset for instance Czech and Polish use 8859-2 Baltic Countries use 8859-4 and Cyrillic letters need 8859-5 as ISO. So our discussion was a bit misunderstanding, since it was about replacing the 8859-1 with 8859-15. Thats why u will still need a variable for it. Hope that hasn't been too confusing with all that figures Wink
Bye

Just to make this thing completely clear and avoid any further misunderstandings:

The idea is that iso-8859-15 completely replaces iso-8859-1. The only difference between them, as far as I know, is that iso-8859-15 contains support for the euro and cent signs. It does not contain anything else that iso-8859-1 didn't contain. So we will still have to have a variable for charset dependent on the forum language, for all those other languages with characters unknown to the English-speaking world. If only unicode would catch on... Neutral


What!? and use 2 bytes a character, are you insane man? Smile
hehehe

As promised I've setup 2 versions of the forum, which have been translated to languages other then english.

1) German - http://german.forum.prohost.org/
2) Swedish - http://swedish.forum.prohost.org/

If you are translating a forum to a different language let me know, and I'll setup a version of the forum with that language. It should make it easier to translate the forum.

P.S. Ken, djupsjob I've sent you private messages with additional information.

Hi,
I dunno how it works on the Swedish board, but at the German one, I encounterred a strange bug with the Euro sign. I created a message with lots of them, preview went fine and then after submitting it turned to either garbage characters or question marks. editing the message without preview made the horizontal line of that sign work but not the vertical line. Third time editing spillt the preview with garbage characters and after submitting the sign was printed as is, both vertical and horizontal. Could this be an issue with the 1.2.2 version? The error seems to have an unpredictable, random nature. Right now I'm using Mozilla 0.99 (win32). Think I should take a look at it with some more browsers for further investigation. Would be interesting if djupsjob has similiar problems on the Swedish board.
next lines are for testing:

€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€



In case its not visible, this should be a couple of Euro signs.
---edit-----
Strange, here it works perfectly Question
bye
Ken

1 question, when you used the EURO sign, did in the msg file use the HTML entity for it, it did you simply type it in?

Ok thanx. Smile
Meanwhile I couldn't reproduce it anymore with Mozilla. Opera and IE seem to work without problems too. But: Our beloved Netscape 4.7x does not show the single messages of a thread there. Somehow it refuses to load the page so u only see the background's colour without anything inside. I looked at the fonts' setting in the preferences menu and to my surprise it seems, that there's no support for the iso-8859-15. U cannot set the browser to that because its not available for selecting. Would also explain why it won't run there while here its doing fine.
-----edit-----
Just saw ur question above: Yes I typed it right away without using "€"
bye,
Ken

Actually there was a slight HTML bug on the msg page, which has now been fixed.

Ok, on Linux 2.4 + X 4.2.0 + freetype + MS's truetype fonts the euro symbol was displayed fine in all the browsers I've tested, which are:

Mozilla 0.99
Konqueror 2.2 (worked both with QT_XFT and without)
Opera 6.0
Netscape 4.76

Hello,
I have a suggestion about enhancing the translation:
How about including the admin area into the translation as well? I think this would be a great help for ppl who aren't too familiar with English and help spreading FUD all across the planet, too Wink

Eventually once the front end is completely translated we'll consider translating the admin sections as well, however I think the user land stuff needs to be completed 1st.

As for speed of form, I'll put up mod_gzip on our test server it should speed things up a little bit.

djupsjob, Ken (thanks) pointed out a missing option on the poll editor, I've just added it to the message file, add_poll_option, you'll be able to edit it when editing the messages for poll.tmpl.

Also, I've fixed a misuse of a msg on the email to friend poll, it used the "require" message instead of "email to friend" message.
