Translations

You intend to help to translate the Drupal interface to a language? This is the place! Look into the translator's guide in the Drupal Handbook for detailed documentation, as well as get onto the translations mailing list.

The internationalization group might also be interesting, dealing with content translation support issues in and around Drupal.

Technology is changing the way in which we do the normal day to day things, Libraries are changed to Digital Libraries, Educational institutions and corporate are moving to no paper offices. Building up a corporate Intranet System is the need of hour.

Drupal for Education & E-Learning is a great work by Bill Fitzgerals which can be used to build your own intranet system.

The book gives a step by step guide to build up a complete intranet for your college/school and how to effectively use it for better communication

Quick CVS question

Posted by scb on November 18, 2009 at 1:01pm

Hi, i have just committed the 6.x release for the galician language, and the packaging script has thrown the error:
"[...] msgid' andmsgstr' entries do not both end with '\n'" (weird problem btw...)

Anyway, I've corrected the error and committed the changes, so my question is... does the script recognize the changes, do I have to re-tag the release, or create a new version...? What do I have to do now for the packager to show the right release?

Also, does the script throw all errors, or it just stops on the first one?

Thanks!

British English translations

Posted by joachim on October 26, 2009 at 2:46pm

I reckon Ubercart needs a British English translation, if only so we stop using string overrides on every single UC site we build for UK clients to stop them talking about 'checks'.

However, I know almost nothing about translation, either of core or contrib, and I have no idea where to start.

Do I need to register on the localization server and create a translation project node on Drupal?
And anyway, will Drupal understand a language code of the form 'en-GB'?

Sharing Translation Tips

Hi,

l.d.o managed 5xxx projects.
I found that many sentence/Source text have very similar structure.
Estimated around 5000 and maybe a half them only 1/2 words difference.

example:
"must be a positive integer" - only 1/2 words difference.

more example:

has been added
has been created
has been updated
has been edited
has been saved
has been removed
has been approved
has been duplicated
"have been"...

must be a number
must be a string
must be a ...
must be a between

Drupal Amharic Translation Underway

Posted by tsega on September 24, 2009 at 5:16am

Hi all! I just wanted to inform all of your that the translation for Drupal into Amharic is under way. We have a lot of work ahead of us and it would so nice to see all of you (Amharic speakers I mean) to contribute.

You can see our status here, http://localize.drupal.org/translate/languages/am, you can join the project and suggest some translations. Hopefully we would have a wiki on how to do that right at the Ethiopian groups by the end of this week.

Projects on d.o -> releases -> localize.d.o -> parse files -> grab t()'s -> translate

Drupal site -> t()'s -> translate -> back to l.d.o?

CVS or no?
Translators aren't CVS tecky

Current workflow doesn't work for contrib, because if we grab the translations when a project is packaged, it's technically too late.

Translation and views

Posted by dsnoeck on April 7, 2009 at 8:29am

Hello

Using the views module, I would like to create a list view of stories content and only display content for the current selected languages. If a content is not translated into this language, so display the default site language content.

If I add a filter: "Node translation: Language" set to "Is one of" -> Current user's language, only selected language content will be display !

Shall I use the one or more Arguments in my view ?

Thanks for your help.

Damien

Multi Language support for module lists etc.

Posted by tsvenson on March 5, 2009 at 1:52pm

Even though English in not a problem for me, I understand the importance and need to offer a website in other languages, so I really like that the new design have that in mind. Particularly as it also means that the internationalisation support for Drupal is moving up a few notches in priority.

Before I go into the main topic of this post, a little note about the placement of the language select. In the mockup (iteration 11), the select language listbox is placed at the bottom. I think it should actually be placed in the header instead as that will make it much easier to find. Especially those, who's English is not very good tend to leave if they don't find a language quickly without having to scroll to the bottom of a very long page. They could also be shown as flags.

Oki, back to topic. I have one site I am using the Internationalization modules in and it works just fine. The only real issue though is that browsing modules and other add-on stuff and finding information on what languages they are available in is not very easy. In most cases I have to actually download the module and check if it supports translations and if so if it is available in the language(s) I need.

So it got me thinking a bit about how this can be improved on drupal.org and I came up with the following. I will use modules as example, but I believe similar features can be applied on other areas as well, such as themes.
