Dear Drupal users,

I am looking for short, medium and long-term programming / development assistance for an international initiative soon-to-be-launched aimed at prosecuting the United States, its leaders and allies, on charges of the crime of genocide in Iraq.

The new initiative is currently being built offline. It already needs significant volunteer resources, particularly in establishing capacity to provide content in Arabic and Spanish as well as English. There are also significant security considerations that need expert input.

Welcome Email Translations

Greetings,

Is there a translation available for the welcome emails that Drupal sends out? I am using the i18n module and it allows me to change those email messages. I have a translator who will be able to translate them, but if the work has been done already, why have him do it again?

Please advise. Thank you.

Drupal 6 will come with RTL support, help refine that!

Maybe you did not notice, but the latest development version of Drupal comes with RTL language support. Unfortunately it does not go as far as I would like it to be, but Drupal now knows about RTL languages and hand this information out to the theme too. No core theme ships with proper RTL support yet (none of them set the direction on the HTML tag, neither they ship with RTL CSS). I (as one of the guys being instrumental in getting this extended language support into Drupal core) think that the core themes should have support for RTL languages too, as it does not seem to be a huge undertaking, if it is done by people who know what they are doing. This is why I am here to post this notice.

There is an existing issue here which deals with adding RTL CSS into core: http://drupal.org/node/110418

Hi,

It's really nice to see some of the old friends around here (alaa , sameer...etc.). I hope you are doing well these days.

مجموعة التعريب بالعربية؟

أجرب هنا نشر عقدة باللغة العربية.

و أطلب رأيكم: إذا كان غرض هذه المجموعة تقديم دعم تقني باللغة العربية، فما إمكان دعم هذه التركيبة لدروبال للغة العربية (التعريب و الكتابة من اليمين لليسار، و تيمة للمجموعة من اليمين لليسار)؟

group agenda

Hi folks,

this group started after an IRC meeting @ #eglug some time ago, but since groups.drupal.org lacked wiki functionality we did not use it for anything.

this is a proposed short term Agenda for the group based on what we discussed in that meeting

  • Gharbeia is our main translator, he has veto rights in order to have a since of consistency in the translation
  • other translators can adopt a contrib modules

drupal 5 translation

So we're finally going to start work on Drupal 5 Arabic translation. the 4.7 translation was pretty good but released near the end of the drupal 4.7's cycle and we did not get a chance to promote it.

this time let's do things right and start translation early.

I'm currently working on merging 4.7 translation with new drupal 5 POTs, Gharbeia should focus on core only for the moment since contrib modules are still in flux and their strings might change dramatically.
