Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

As I plan to run a information service in french, I would ad the standard Drupal interface translation process as first install step in OP16...

Is there any simple way..?

Do you mean - the ability to choose French as a language as early on as during installation?

Applying language file

yes, it's what I mean... In Drupal 6.1x, when I apply fr_6.x_1.0 patch before starting installation, the interface translation, is the 1st installation process proposed prior to database setup, etc.

In OpenPublish, I get french translation by installing a new language, right from the admin interface. But, it would simplify the installation process if we get the opportunity to apply a language patch as in the standard Drupal 6.1x install procedure...

Any idea?

Sorry, I would have to look into it and get back to you, but OP does not modify Drupal core so if you find correct patch for the version of Drupal core in the OpenPublish, it should work.

OP16 - fr.po

It would be easier if the translation process could begin at the same point than in the Drupal 6.1x installation (and, this would be true for any language, not only french).

At this time, I'm trying to build an 'OP16' specific 'fr.po' file to obtain a pertinent translated interface including:

  • the standard Drupal 6.1x messages,
  • the specific OpenPublish 1.6 messages (openpublish_theme files, openpublish modules files, etc.).

If I succeed, the model could be used to build any other necessary language support, as I plan to put the resulting 'op16.fr.po' file on some Web download service.
