README.txt in translation tarballs
by Konstantin Käfer 30 Nov '06

30 Nov '06

Hi, I'd like to get some feedback on what the README.txt file in translation tarballs should contain. Currently, they are empty, though they should contain some msgfmt output. Obviously, that isn't particularly useful. I'm all for replacing it with installation instructions. We could compose an English text with some advice (enable locale.module, select the file etc.). Translation maintainers could use this text and translate it to the translation's language. Other suggestions? Please see http://drupal.org/node/100652 Konstantin Käfer – http://kkaefer.com/

"install.po"? goba had me special case "installer.po" here: http://drupal.org/node/93121 "Do not merge installer.po into merged PO file" when the packaging script is creating tarballs for translations, it normally merges all the .po files into a giant [lang].po file. however, it's now excluding "installer.po" so you'd end up with: installer.po # just the installer strings de.po # everything else in your de-5.x-1.0.tar.gz file. if you call it "install.po", it'll get merged in with de.po. do we need to change the behavior of the packaging script or the translators? ;) thanks, -derek

Drupal 5 installation language files
by Konstantin Käfer 17 Nov '06

17 Nov '06

Hello list, the new Drupal 5 web installer also provides a way to select the language for the installation before doing anything like database setup. I'm wondering if Drupal 5 ships with translated installation or if that's just an interface for custom distributions. Should we include installation translations? If so, we should call for translations once the string freeze is in effect. Konstantin Käfer – http://kkaefer.com/

release system is live, drupal.org is back
by Derek Wright 11 Nov '06

11 Nov '06

in case you're not reading the front page of drupal.org frequently... http://drupal.org/node/94000 New release system for Drupal contributions now deployed! the part all of you definitely need to read: http://drupal.org/node/94000#developers Along with the new release system, there have been a lot of updates and changes to the Drupal CVS repository this year. Because of these changes, all CVS account holders and project maintainers should review the updated CVS and Project documentation even if they think they are already familiar with CVS. The handbook outlines the policies and procedures to use going forward for maintaining your projects[1], managing your releases[2] and proper branching and tagging[3] of your contribution on Drupal.org. More people using the same processes means there will be more people to help others and this will standardize our release process for the future. Be sure to review the new version number documentation[4] so you will know how to properly take advantage of the release system for your modules and themes. If you are unfamiliar with CVS branches and tags, please read the updated CVS introduction[5] to these concepts. There is also a new Maintainer quick-start guide[6] to help people new to CVS get up to speed on the basics of using Drupal's contributions repository[7]. [1] http://drupal.org/handbook/cvs/projects [2] http://drupal.org/handbook/cvs/releases [3] http://drupal.org/node/93999 [4] http://drupal.org/handbook/version-info#contrib [5] http://drupal.org/handbook/cvs/introduction [6] http://drupal.org/node/94179 [7] http://drupal.org/node/321 also, for those who happened to be around for the "fun": http://drupal.org/node/94023 "Update: Apologies for the delay in bringing drupal.org back up. In spite of many painless conversions on scratch.drupal.org, as feared, something went terribly wrong during the update on drupal.org. It took us a few hours to work around the problems this caused with some creative coding and sneaky SQL tricks. Immediately after the site was up, it experienced about an hour of very sluggish response time. This was due to a major SQL load put on the database server during the conversion itself (a huge backlog of queries the mysqld was struggling to process), the flood of traffic from bringing the site back on-line, and some lingering PHP configuration issues that we had setup to try to debug the faulty steps of the upgrade. The good news is that the site is back now, it seems to be as responsive as ever, no actual harm was done, and the new release system is working..."

Merge 3 pot files to one.
by Christian Edelmann 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

Hello Translators! Eduin Yezid Carrillo Vega has added a .pot file for my contrib module called "onlinestatus". Thank You very much! (mucho Gracias). Now i had to fix some typos in my module, some t() strings have changed and i need to generate a new .pot file. I tried the extract.php file, but that gave me 3 .pot files general.pot, onlinestatus-module.pot and messengers-inc-php.pot. The Translator's guide suggest to have one modulename.pot file in the module/po folder. I there a method to merge this 3 files to one .pot file? Can i do a simple "cat onlinestatus-module.pot global.pot messngers-inc-php.pot > po/onlinestatus.pot", or will this result in strange behaviour? Any suggestions? Greetings Christian Edelmann.

Hi all, Drupal 5 is just passed to the beta stage of development. Is now the time to start our translation efforts? Are the language strings "stable" or going to change between stable release? Thanks, Fabio Varesano
