Hi,

i have a big (for me) problem. I have few domains with few languages and one database.
I using Drupal 6 with modules: domain, i18n, multinalguage, local and some more.
on three domain are showing all languages - and that's good. But i want two domains more with only one, selectet (eg. english) language. How i can do it? I can hide language switcher, but other languages still accessible on new domain.
any suggestion?

regards
Maciek

Hi,

We have a discussion going on at http://drupal.org/node/446360 on whether it is required/better/advisable... to have separate translations folders for each sub-module of a module (each with their own pot/po files).

Hi all,

Now we have http://drupall10n.com with us, and we plan we make this as central point for atleast indian languages so i would like to take a feedback should we go for

http://langcode.drupall10n.com

or

http://drupall10n.com should have all indian languages as once independent site

comments please

This would be available for free to all localizers :)

We already have Hindi and Marathi on this functional

Hi,

I have started translation of Drupal interface to Oriya language . This will be for Drupal 6.x versions.

I have almost done with the translation of 'node', 'block' and 'user' module strings. Few other module are translated partially.
Now I want to create a project page for this language at drupal.org. I was about to apply for a CVS account but stopped by reading some statements in this page, Apply for contributions CVS access

I have been trying to get another language to work on my server and have had problems with bulk translation. On drupal.org I have posted the details I would appreciate if you could take a look and give some suggestions:

http://drupal.org/node/429822

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.

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.

fil 6.x-1.0-alpha1, the very first release of Filipino localization files for Drupal, is available for download. Please see the Filipino Translation Project page at drupal.org for more information in English. For more information in Filipino, please go to our localization server.

Please note that Drupal 6.x is not yet 100% translated in this release. If you want to get involved in this project, please visit our localization server at http://pili.pin.as/translations.

There are several major modules and few dosens of additional tools on internationalisation. I find it quite confusing to figure out, what particular combination of modules and settings will lead to the expected behaviour. So I'm addressing other group members with this request to help me.

I have one issue regarding the french language integration, i received this message and i don't know how to fix it : the plural formula could not be parsed

Halo,
Saya baru saja memulai server penerjemahan Bahasa Indonesia, dan membutuhkan kontribusi dari pengguna Drupal lainnya.

Are there any instruction on how and where to ad the translation marks

Simple for plain text , but not when includes links and other markups.
Thanks,

I needed to have a graphical view on l10n_server database so I created following simple image. Feel free to correct errors and reuse:

Also, the scheme has always been available in the commentary http://drupal.org/node/203658

Does anyone know if there is a Hmong translation file out there? Alternatively can I cheat and just create a new translation option and call it Hmong? Can I do this without actually making the .po file? What problems might I run into?

Thanks

I have a three language site. One lang is Chinese. In previous non-drupal versions of the site the chinese characters had to be converted to unicode to ensure proper display. I see that I can enter copied and pasted chinese directly into drupal. Does it display reliably or should I keep converting to unicode?

Thanks

¿Hablas español? Parlez-vous français? You can help with these patches that are translation-related.

• Improve translation string search and editing interface
• locale_inc_callback() is a thing of the past
• Re-split locale module (depends on the locale_inc_callback() patch)

Although I don't speak Welsh I would like to get a collection of Welsh translations together for Drupal.

I thought I would play around with the translation modules on my blog last night and installed french, spanish and welsh. French and spanish both had a few hundred core translations, welsh had none and there are no downloadable welsh translations I can see.

Are there any?
Can we do somthing about it?
Do I need to learn welsh?

Help!

As I export my language in Drupal 6 and try to import it, I get the following error:
The translation file fi.po (finnish) contains an error: "msgstr" was expected but not found on line xxx
The translation import of fi.po failed

I found a related problem here: http://drupal.org/node/253903

I added a plural header which is missing from my po-file and to deleted all lines related to plurals. This way I managed to import the file, but when I export it, the plural header is missing again.

Any solutions?

Tnks in advance!

Hi, I need organize translation team. Our team translate .po file (gettext) from a some Linux application to polish. And I need prepare some system (CMS) which should include: import English template (.pot), manual online translation, export *.po file, plural forms, users privileges etc. It can be concatenate with drupal (we've already used it), but it isn't requirement. I'm looking for something for a long time but don't find anything useful. Could You help me ?

Hello,

I'm building a multi-lingual site, where I would like different translation groups/roles to be able to work on their language (and only their language) to translate source content. In some cases translating in response to content being posted, and at other times originating the content.

Hi All!

The company that I work for creates software for mobile phones. I'm working on a project to use a Web site to gather community-generated translations for some versions of that software. In other words, I'm going to have a pile of text strings from the application UI(s), and I will be feeding them through a Drupal-based site for community translation. The end result should be something similar to Google's Google In Your Language.

Any further work on this is done in the handbook, see http://drupal.org/node/302196 and http://drupal.org/node/302194. Suggestions and help still very welcome, of course.

The current handbook section on how to contribute to translations doesn't mention the local translation servers. The following is a draft for a handbook page (or pages) to correct this. Please help by editing it (it's a wiki page), or by pointing out stuff that's incorrect, missing, or should be improved.

Is there a way to automatically wrap all "translated" text with html tags? For example, the font for dz (Dzongkha/Tibetan) is really quite small compared to western fonts due to the possible height of characters in the language. It would be very useful to take any text and wrap it with tags so that I could then institute text formatting with a stylesheet, while not disturbing and western text that may be untranslated.

In the Drupal 6 translation templates, there are several strings on the form of {something}.something, such as:

I've poked around a bit in my Drupal 6 test site, but haven't been able to catch any of these strings in the wild. Can anyone tell me what kind of context they appear in?

I've just started the Scots translation of Drupal and made a wee site with l10n_server on it. My intention is, for the latter site, to have it also become a unifying point for people involved with Scots localisation in other parts of the FOSS community (I've made contact with an Ubuntu translator, for one). But, to whichever extent it's going to be used - just for Drupal or for Everything™ - it'll need some tools. Having just started out on this, I still haven't decided completely on which tools I'll want/need, so I wanted to take this up with you lot. Which tools to you need and use?

Hi!

In D5, we introduced Autolocale module, enabling users to import translations after enabling module / during installation. However, this had few caveats, as timeouts on cheap shared hosts, etc.

In D6, Autolocale is built-in core, using batch API and just works very well.

What do you think next step should be? From my point of view:

"Let Drupal automatically fetch translations from a server".

I encourage Greek Drupal users and contributors to come and join us in our effort for a localized Drupal 6 in Greek.

Version 6RC1 is already here (6RC2 will be shortly out), the strings are frozen and all you have to do is start working with your favorite .po file editor and contribute for a smooth experience of Drupal 6 in your native language!

See this post for more information.

Thank you all!

In several languages, we need several special characters in order to make a typographically correct translation. One of them is, in French, the "unbreakable space" (and for some, its little brother, the "thin unbreakable space"). But there is no easy way to get them to work reliably with Drupal. What is the way forward?

Hoy fui a adicionar una vista en uno de nuestros sitios y me "flipé" como dicen por ahí al tratar de descrifrar un par de traducciones que aparentemente forman parte de la traducción provista con el módulo...

Breadcrumb trail should not include "Home"
El hilo de ariadna, no deberia incluir "Inicio"

If checked the breadcrumb trail for this page will discard "Home". Usually you will not set this, but this is used for the Front Page View, where it IS Home and should not leave a trail to itself.
Si está chequeado, el hilo de ariadna para esta pagina descartará "Inicio". Generalmente, no se configura de esta forma.
