Hello Admin & Everyboady,

I am honored to tell you that the Uighur Language Pack is ready. Please download the package and enjoy!

Regards,

Good work (although I must admit I had to look this language up in the dictionary first, please excuse my ignorance). There are however some minor issues I'd like to settle first:

• Does your Uighur use any other non-latin chars except äöüíáàéèíìóòúù? If no, I'd like to change the encoding from "windows-1254" to "iso-8859-9" if you don't mind.
  
• The country code is not "ug" (this is Uganda, see http://www.iana.org/cctld/cctld-whois.htm#u ) , so I changed this to cn-xj
  
• There's no "official" flag, so I made up one, derived from http://flagspot.net/flags/cn-islam.html : (https://coppermine-gallery.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcoppermine.sourceforge.net%2Fdemo%2Fimages%2Fflags%2Fcn-xj.gif&hash=3a63efb8556751032487ea038b51f8046da2257e). Hope this is OK.

Hello Joachim,

thanks for your reply. The Uighurs (also written: Uyghurs), we, use two writing systems (Arabic script & Latin Script). The language pack that I have posted (made by somebody else) uses Latin Script.

My answer to your first question is no, we don't have non-latin characters apart from üöé.

You are right. we don't yet have a country code. UG is robbed by Uganda ha ha ha   The 3 letter code for Uighur is "uig"  http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/IG/ert/iso639.htm . So, the official language code/ID for Uyghur is "uig". please DO NOT use "cn-xj".

Your suggestionn to use that flag may not please the Chinese authorities since it is forbidden to use that flag in China. As a symbol of democracy, it is a good thing to have a logo to identify a language/an ethnic group(We encourage the Chinese gouvernment to propose something like this to identify the Uyghur people, as well as Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region). I have no objection to your proposition, you have the liberty to decide! thanks very much!

Regards,

Uyghur

N.B.: The official spelling of our ethnic group (8-9 million off.) by the ISO is now Uighur. But sometimes we also use "Uyghur", it is under disscussion. Please keep using "Uighur" for the moment.

[uyghur]

Hello again,

I jsut noticed that there are couple of spelling mistakes in the Uighur translation pack. I will ask the original translator to correct, then I will review the translation, finally I will send you the latest translation ASAP. I apologies for this maladaptation

Regards,

Uyghur

Hi I'm Bryan,

Has any one translated Filipino or tagalog? If none, I will be very glad to do it. And would somebody tell me how can I start translating? What should I do?

Filipino hasn't been done yet, please start the translation (I'll modify the first posting in this thread to say you have assigned this to yourself). This is how you start a translation: get the most recent english language file here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/coppermine/stable/lang/english.php?rev=1.13&view=log
Read the translator guide that is in your coppermine package inside the docs folder, or read it here: http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/demo/docs/translation.htm

Can someone please direct me to the right spanish file? please, thanks in advanced 

[Joachim Müller]

This is not a support board, but an announcement board for new languages and for discussion between translators - that's why your posting doesn't belong here. Use the spanish language file that comes with your coppermine pckage, it's built-in.

Joachim

[bryandel]

Ok, I will start right away.

Hello Mr. Joachim,

As I have promised, I have corrected the spelling mistakes in the Uighur language pack. This is the latest translation. On behalf of all the Uighurs in the I thank you for your effort and for your help.

regards,

Uyghur Translator

hello gaugau
monkey has given me the permission to do the chinese translation. and i will be running the website cpg.38.com that monkey had, which is just a chinese support board running smf. im also the translator for smf. what im thinking is maybe change some text strings to reflect on smf's, just to make it more consistent. i haven't looked into the language files yet, and maybe i won't have to change anything. but if i do, do i send you the new language files or just wait for the next cpg version? thanks

[Joachim Müller]

Just put any modified or new language files into a zip file, or rename it to yourlanguage.txt and attach it to a posting on this thread (using "Additional options" at the bottom left of the screen when composing a message). The current language files will be in use for at least 2 months before any new translation requests will go out to the translators (but don't sue me if it will take even longer before there's a feature freeze for the next coppermine version). You can (and are encouraged to) submit fixes to language files at any time.

Thanks for your contribution, I modified the very first posting on this thread, adding Kurdish to the download section and the demo and making you member of the translator group as well as chaning the credits on the team page. As I understand that the kurdish people is striving for independency in various countries I realize there are issues with the symbols in use, that's why I thought I'd ask (please don't get me wrong): is the flag "politically correct" in the sense of "will the turkish (or any other country the kurdish territory is on) administration be opposed to see the flag as a symbol for the language?"
