Hello, There were several problems with the italian translations (1.43) so I corrected it.
(Maybe) It's better that you make a backup of your actual translation before to upload this one.

Below the zip file.

[Joachim Müller]

We appreciate your contributions, however you (or your editor) replaced accented chars by html entities, which is not recommended when using utf-8, so your contributed file is not recommended for use.

Still incomplete - meaning: not everything from english.php has been translated. I didn't mean to say that the file is corrupt. Thanks for your effort though.

This is full Russian transltaion for stable version 1.4.3

Thanks for the contrib, the file is in the demo and the stable branch of the cvs now.

Can you allow RAR upload on this board. RAR compression is much better!

I won't, as there are issues with rar vulnerabilities that could compromise the webserver's security. Additionally, not everyone has a packing utility that can decompress rar archives, so we go for the agreed standard, which is zip (at least in the windows world). Lunix users should have tools to unpack zip archives as well.

I thinks I could do a Ukrainian translation, but that will take me some time because of other thing's i have to do..

Here is the complete Ukrainian translation for the Coppermine version 1.4.3.

Archive contains the versions for cp-1251 and utf-8. Copy the appropriate one to your web site renaming the file to ukrainian.php. For cp-1251 site you'll have to set "Codepage" to "Default (language file)" in the Gallery Preferences.

If you need KOI - convert it using any appropriate converter (i.e. iconv -f cp-1251 -t koi-8 ukrainian-cp1251.php > ukrainian.php) and change the corresponding line in the language file.

Hey GauGau.
I think I would be able to translate Coppermine 1.4.x into danish.

Did I understand this correct; I can take the 1.3.x-danish-language file, and then just put in the lines from the 1.4.x english.php that is followed by "//cpg1.4" into the new 1.4.x danish.php ? If you understand ?

In file: ukrainian-utf8.php
This line must be:
$lang_charset = 'utf-8';

Coppermine version 1.4.3 doesn't use any other charset than utf-8, so there is no nead for 1251.
Here is the repacked UTF-8 version.

Yes. You can take 1.3.x and put new lines from 1.4.x English.php.
BUT!!!
1-st, not all new lines in 1.4.x are marked with "//cpg1.4"
2-nd, some lines have been changed from 1.3.x also are not marked with "//cpg1.4".
When I was translatin from my 1.3.x to 1.4.x I checked every line.
I am using "Araxis Merge v6.5" to make translations.

Webmok,

Please read the starting post in this topic, and what Makc666 has written in his post after yours. If You have understood what's written by Makc666 and have the tools avaiable also merntioned by Makc666, please feel free to drop me a PM or email, if it´s not You that already have.

[Joachim Müller]

you shouldn't start with a cpg1.3.x file, but with the cpg1.4.x english language file. Do the translation from scratch, open another editor window to have a look at the cpg1.3.x language file for your language just for comparison.
When starting with a cpg1.3.x language file and trying to insert all cpg1.4.x strings, there is a danger that you forget some strings or you fail to notice that some strings have been moved from one section to the other.

[John Hjorth]

GauGau,

I'm already working on the danish translation for CPG 1.4.x. I think You also should have asked Webmok to get in contact with me, so I asked Webmok to contact me by PM or email so that I could explain Webmok how to do this translation without filling up this topic with trivial discussions about how to do the work in a proper way.

And I disagree with You on that's not possible to get use of the old existing CPG 1.3.x without loosing lines in the final file, it's only a matter of having the necessary tools available, which is Araxis Merge 6.5 - You can't do it with WinMerge.

Webmok hasn't contacted me yet.

Coppermine version 1.4.3 doesn't use any other charset than utf-8, so there is no nead for 1251.

This is not exactly true. On our portal we used Coppermine for a really long time, also it is integrated into Mambo portal. Thus at this point I have a large database of data in cp-1251. The simplest way to use cpg 1.4.x was to create cp1251 language file and force CPG working in CP-1251. And actually it works just well.

The alternative approach is to convert all our portal databases, static pages, Mambo etc totally to UTF-8. Unfortunately this will take the amount of time I can't currently afford.

So, if you need to use CPG in non-utf codepage - you'll need no more than the alternative codepage language file. I beleive this alternative could be helpful for some sites with non-utf heritage.
