[Help wanted]: translations for coppermine 1.2.0

[Steve.H]

Ok GauGau.

I'll REMAKE all the Brazilian File.
I use the 1.1.0, and i remade the Portuguese, because some phrases didn't made any sense at all, like they were translated with a "Translation Program".

Ok, i'll send it to you by this weekend.

[Steve.H]

Sorry, i hate to do this, but i need a few more days to acomplish the translation of Coppermine to Brazilian Portuguese.

I've been too busy this weekend, and i couldn't finish it.
So, i'll finish the translation and double check it for "nonsense phrases" or typing errors.

Sorry GauGau,
I'll e-mail it to you, asap.

italian doesn not work for me. It says "error on line 429"

[Joachim Müller]

please post the code of your version of italian.php around the line 492, so we can have a look...

Just downloaded and installed with setup in Norwegian. There are some rather ugly spelling mistakes in it, double consonants and letter switching. I would like to correct this. When I've done this, who should I handover the corrections to?

[Joachim Müller]

sent you a pm with my email address

Man, I did a huuuuuuuuuuuge fix for the Dutch language file, and you never put that in the downloads section

hash > I presume by PM..

[Joachim Müller]

Yes, you sent me a fix the other day, while Ron, the original translator sent me one as well. As I don't speak dutch, I can't say which version is better - I have to trust the translators. And when in doubt, I rely on the "original" translators - that's why Ron's version went into the release. Remember, I asked the two of you to come up with a language file you could both agree with, and all I got were arguments.

This thread is not the place to flame, so I just consider your post as non-existant.

[Ron]

Like in all langauges there are serveral ways to say the same thing  

[MaThIbUs]

indeed ron

no offense, but you just use too much spaces :roll: and sometimes freaky words lol

[Joachim Müller]

I said stop flaming :x

I have looked into the Norwegian language file and I must admit it is not just bad spelling that should be corrected!

There are in fact a good number of places the translation is bad or outright wrong.

Of course some translation choices are a matter of taste, but when they make the script difficult to understand it should be corrected.

So now there are several people having views on the Norwegian translation. What do we do? Each one for our own "best" version or what?

(I have not looked into the -utf-8 file)

[Joachim Müller]

please do only send one version - I can't tell which version is best, as I don't speak norwegian.

GauGau

[FinnK]

Yes, that is the problem. How can you tell the best translation? -Or decide wich one should be the official version. Well, I will be happy to send mine to you when I have gone through it one more time.

Is there a "magic" way to update the -utf-8 file accordingly?

[Joachim Müller]

just send me the ansi file, I'll create an utf-8 file before uploading to the download repository it for you.

Hello, I just made Serbian (Cyrillic) translation of Coppermine 1.2.1. You can download it from:

http://www.mikis.org/lang/cpg-1.2.1-serbian.zip

I put both windows-1251 and UTF-8 versions in the archive. I *think* you have problem with tools (iconv?) you are using for ansi/ascii => utf conversion of non-latin files; for example, I am almost sure (but did not have time extensive checkin) that Russian, Greek and Arabic UTF-8 translations do not work as they should; Hebrew and Chinese BIG-5 are ok.

I also noticed that in almost all UTF-8 versions of language files variable $lang_charset is NOT set to "UTF-8" but to same ANSI/ISO codepage as in non-UTF files?

I can post you screenshots if you like, and I would like that someone confirm  or deny this.

I also included Serbian flag, in your instalation you have only Yugoslav (YU) flag, but I think Serbian is more apropriate (there is no more "Yugoslavia"; country is now officialy called "Serbia and Montenegro" and old flag is about to be changed). Where did you find those flags? Is there a "proper" Serbian flag in there? I made this one by rotating Russian flag (Serbian is same as Russian, but upside down), so maybe all "shadows" are not as they should be.

If you want, I can easily make Serbian Latin version of translation, so old Yugoslav flag can remain for it.

[Joachim Müller]

Serbian is available in the demo and download section.
There are however unsettled issues: the flag looks indeed strange, and the charset issue that arises with all cyrillic languages. I modified mikis' original file to use windows-1251 as charset (works for me)...

GauGau

[mikis]

Thanks Sorry, I made UTF-8 version first, than converted it to windows-1251, but forgot to change lang_charset in serbian.php.

Any idea where did those flags came from? Maybe they have "proper" Serbian flag?

And please, in drop-down form on demo page, change name of the language to:

Serbian (& #1057;& #1088;& #1087;& #1089;& #1082;& #1080;)

so that cyrillic version is allways displayed properly. Please remove spaces between & and #, I had to put them so that you can see code in your browser.

What "charset issue with cyrillic" did you have in mind?
