translation related critical issues for 4.7
by Gabor Hojtsy 30 Dec '05

30 Dec '05

Hi guys, I would like to bring the following issues to your attention, since these are important for those, who would like to use our translations in the upcoming 4.7.0 release. Please test the latest patch offered on these issues, and report findings directly as follow ups on the issues. Please verify that these patches work, so that they won't skip the 4.7.0 deadline. http://drupal.org/node/41118 ------------------------------------------------------------- The update process never starts if you have a translation installed http://drupal.org/node/5961 ------------------------------------------------------------- You cannot import a translation if open_basedir is set, ie. you are on a multiuser hosted server. As you can see from the node id, this is a very old bug, and should have been fixed long time ago. Please help getting it in! Goba

Automatic .pot generation
by Fabio Varesano 14 Dec '05

14 Dec '05

Hi everybody.. Would it be possible to automatically generate .pot files for contributed modules? I mean that every time a module is changed from cvs by developers the .pot file shoud be automaticcaly updated by the cvs sistem or by some cron script. This will free developers of one of their task. What do you think about this?

Fwd: [development] drupal php requirement : more than 8 Mb now?
by Dries Buytaert 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Another problem report. IMO, this problem should get some attention from the locale module maintainers and/or the translator community. If you're interested, let's discuss the technical issues on the development mailing list.

Re: [translations] German translation: a german word for “node”
by Morten Wulff 10 Dec '05

10 Dec '05

-snip initial description- > Translation proposals for "node": > - Inhaltselement: A somewhat complicated word This is the solution I have chosen for the Danish translation ("indholdselement"). According to the dictionary, "knude"/"Knoten" is a valid translation but it doesn't really get the meaning across. I considered using the word "knudepunkt" but that sounds too technical and not quite right.

Introduction
by Adam Rambousek 09 Dec '05

09 Dec '05

Hello everyone, let me introduce myself, too. My name is Adam Rambousek and I'm from Czech republic. As this indicates, I'm translating Drupal to Czech with the help of a few friends. With 4.6, we have translated some 99% and I stopped the remaining translation waiting for 4.7 release. Would it be possible to release 4.7 POT a bit earlier before final release? I think there should not be much changes in strings and translators could at least import strings from 4.6 to have some translation ready for 4.7 release. -- Adam Rambousek email: rambousek(a)gmail.com www: http://adamovy.cestiny.cz

German translation: a german word for “node”
by Konstantin Käfer 09 Dec '05

09 Dec '05

Hello, in this thread I would like to collect and discuss some translation proposals for the very central drupal term "node". The literal translation of that word is „Knoten" but most people don't associate a piece of content with that word. Because the second much more important meaning is "knot". The German Wikipedia has an article on this: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knoten_%28Hypertext%29 Translation proposals for "node": - Knoten: The literal translation that doesn't reflect the real meaning - Node: Simply using the original word is not very good in my opinion - Seite: Can be confused with the page.module as "page" does also mean „Seite" - Inhalt: Can be confused with "content" which means the same - Inhaltselement: A somewhat complicated word - Beitrag: Can be confused with "post" Does anyone have a better translation for that word? Regards, Konstantin

Hi! With the release of Drupal 4.7 beta 1, can I assume that the strings will remain stable? Can I continue with translating 4.7 to Afrikaans? Anyone with an idea about this? Regards, Kobus

Windows help for creating POT files needed
by Gerhard Killesreiter 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

Hi there! I've been asked about how to create POT files. I assume the person uses windows. Would anybody be able to write a handbook page on creating POT files using our extractor and windows? Should be a child page to this one: http://drupal.org/node/11396 Cheers, Gerhard

My introduction
by Michelangelo Partipilo 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

I also think it is important to know who is on the list. My name is Michelangelo Partipilo, I am 24 years old so far and I live in Venezuela, so the language I manage is Spanish. I've been lost from the Drupal scene lately. I worked in the translation of most of Drupal to spanish sometime ago, but had to stop due to academic and work related issues. I use Drupal now for managing a simple intranet for my workplace, but since everyone here speaks english I don't use localization and the site is a whole mess because we don't have a defined structure. I'm waiting for the release of 4.7 to upgrade the site. Regards, Mike
