I tried to upload some partly done translations, upload succeeds but I don't see the translation change in transiflex (?)
formdhtml.php(XOOPS Editor), protector language files and some install/ language files, bcz they're contain multiple php array, also protector contains strange definitions in one of it's files. Mail Templates are too old and obsolete to the KISS idea (Keep it Simple, Stupid). They're should be moved inside the core. Help files - simply ignore them, they don't give any help right. Maybe in future if there are documentation writers, they can build really help files.
GiJoe(wishcraft) modules will be placed on Frozen/Not accepting translations, till he don't fix the language files, I'm not the maintainer of MyAlbum and rest. Some modules such as Birthday was affected by this bug, but I've corrected and converted English files.
If someone plans to translate XOOPS with existing translation for 2.1.0 or 2.2.0, or 2.3.0/2.4.0, edit your files with Notepad +, remove the commented copyright in every language file (some of them contains special characters), convert it to UTF-8 (not only encode), save and upload it.
ISO translations are not acceptable (not only by me :) ), Transifex recognize only UTF-8 specially when there are present special characters such as o with double dots above. Once the language files are uploaded, they're converted to UTF-8, once u translate a word into your language and export it, exported file becomes UTF-8.
Code tables such as CP1251 (aka Windows-1251), ISO8859-3 etc. are no longer used/needed/required by any modern days HSP. In good old times, where there was only XOOPS 2.0.xx, I was the only one maintaining UTF-8 encoded translations, some of them are still available from dev.xoops.org (if exists). The reasons for that brave step was two. There is a problem with Multi-lingual sites using ISO codes, instead of UTF-8. There can't be 3 comments in Russian, Japanese and Arabic languages under article written in English. 2nd reason was RSS 2.0 feeds for Cyrillic and Kanji in those times there was several different hacks to RSS, so CP1251 users to use/display RSS properly.
When translation is done for the core or specific module, reply to the provided homepage field for the release, so I or Mamba to take it and put it together with the module.
All core language files are updated to the latest, but since there is no any changes between 2.5.5 RC towards final there is no release.
