For those wonderful people who help XOOPS by creating translation packages, here are the instructions for making your translations available from xoops.org.
Simply reply to this post with details about your translation package and it will be added to the XOOPS sourceforge.net file releases with a link from xoops.org, provided it meets the following guidelines:
Guidelines for Translation Submissions
=============================
1. Package name: lang-2.0.16-< language code >.< encoding >.zip or .tar.gz
The language code and character set encoding is the same as in global.php (_LANGCODE and _CHARSET).
e.g. lang-2.0.16-pt_BR.UTF-8.zip
lang-2.0.16-da.ISO-8859-1.tar.gz
2. The translation package should only include *core language* files, no system files or module language files except for the system module. Use the same language directory structure as the XOOPS core package.
e.g. lang-2.0.16-da.ISO-8859-1/install/language/danish/(files).php
/language/danish/(files).php
/modules/system/language/danish/(files).php
3. Required information:
- Name of language (of course
)
- Name of translator(s)/credits
- URL link to translation package
- (optional) support url - where people can post their comments about the translation
Note:
1. Languages requiring core changes for date/calendar formats can also include the changed core files in the package.
2. core change to include the language in the $language_array variable of install/install.php is also ok.
Thanks for supporting XOOPS!
