Here is a tutorial to help you translate XOOPS 2.5.6 entirely in your language.

First of all, you can help you with files already present on transifex, or just help with the translation on this website. Simply register, send me an email (see my profile) with your nickname, specify your language, and I will add you as a translator.

Explanation for the following lines:
yourlang = english or french
yourshortlang = en or fr

File list to translate (with explanations when it needs):

htdocs\Frameworks\moduleclasses\moduleadmin\language\
-> add folder
yourlang\
insert into this folder, the file main.php (translated in yourlang)

-> copy file index.html
htdocs\Frameworks\moduleclasses\moduleadmin\language\english\index.html
into
htdocs\Frameworks\moduleclasses\moduleadmin\language\yourlang\

---------------------------

htdocs\install\language
-> copy the english folder entirely
htdocs\install\language\english
and past it
-> rename new folder (the copy) into "yourlang"
htdocs\install\language\yourlang
-> replace into it these files, with your own, translated into your language:
install.php
install2.php
welcome.php
support.php
-> in support.php file, add extra support sites, use corresponding language folder name as key, for instance:




---------------------------

htdocs\language
-> copy the english folder entirely
htdocs\language\english
and past it
-> rename new folder (the copy) into "yourlang"

(2) Important: if you take the translated file help.html from the website Transifex, I suggest you to take the English original file and edit from it, because the beginning of the code is truncated.

I urge translators to follow my tutorial because I watched two translations of XOOPS 2.5.6 and a good portion of files are not translated.

There are files that are not in Transifex because we can not put them on. I gave you the list.

You do not have either heeded my warnings about help.html files (I specified it once more in my tutorial).

Thanks Cesag, I forgot to search the langs folders and to review the help files.

Thanks Cesag

All files are update now on spanish translations

Thanks especially to you for the translation

Please help us with Xoops 2.5.6 translations:
https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/xoops/r/256f/

EDIT: Transifex changed the links. Now we are working on Xoops 2.5.7 translation here:
https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/xoops-257/

Hi Cesag,
I'm almost done with the danish translations, but the TX client is killing me

I translated online through transifex

got the TX utility
Run the following commands
tx set auto-remote https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/xoops
tx pull -l da_DK -s

Now i got the files on my local disk but in 171 folders each containing two files
da_DK.php
en_US.php

What am i doing wrong - I don't think that I have to rename all the files one-by-one?

I agree that the process is not the best, and Transifex could make it easier.

I was reading recently their blog about links to GitHub. Maybe this could help in the future.

Otherwise we might do the same way as we did on SVN - create files on GitHub, and let people to submit their versions, and then merge once approved by the Translatations team leaders.

Clearly, the process has to be very easy, otherwise the translators will lose interest very quickly.

Thank you for your help with translation anderssk!
I do not use the Transifex utility. I translate the files online and I download each manually.

Yes, each file must be renamed.

When I click on a file to use, its name includes the path for the position.

For example, the file:

for_use_xoops_language-renametoyourlanglocalephp_da_DK.php

will become:

locale.php

to place in:

language\danish\

Now it takes longer time to fix and rename files that it does to translate them
I can't figure out how to download directly from the website - i think i missed something...

In the folder (and when i download files throug TX) i get
257[language-renametoyourlang]admin.php
admin.php
[language-renametoyourlang]admin.php

Why 3 files?
