I have looked into the module/theme handling code, found two bugs which I fixed, and introduced the new hook_system_notify(). I would very welcome every reviewer who comes around at this time of the year (instead of preparing for the new year's eve parties, which I am lucky enough to get done by someone else :). http://drupal.org/node/105937 This would be a crucial step for localized install profiles in Drupal 5, so I would like to get this in. Please review! Gabor

Auto locale module (and an interesting bug(?))
by Gabor Hojtsy 27 Dec '06

27 Dec '06

Hi All, I have been working on an automatic locale file import module, so that we can provide install profiles which automatically import the PO files for modules enabled, without any user intervention (turn on locale module, add language, file upload). The alpha quality code works, imports all PO files I have thrown at it. I have left two debug messages in the code, because I experienced very interesting database behaviour while testing the code, and would appreciate your feedback. Project here with CVS link: http://drupal.org/project/autolocale My problem is that although I do a SELECT on the system table and go through that list sequentially I get: # Handling themes/engines/phptemplate/phptemplate.engine # Handling themes/garland/page.tpl.php # Handling modules/system/system.module # Importing modules/system/po/general.hu.po # Importing modules/system/po/system-install.hu.po # Importing modules/system/po/system-module.hu.po # Handling themes/engines/phptemplate/phptemplate.engine # Handling themes/garland/page.tpl.php # Handling modules/system/system.module # Importing modules/system/po/general.hu.po # Importing modules/system/po/system-install.hu.po # Importing modules/system/po/system-module.hu.po # Handling modules/autolocale/autolocale.module # Handling modules/block/block.module # Handling modules/color/color.module # .... Seems like it does go through the phptemplate engine, the garland theme and the system module twice. I have absolutely no idea why it would do this, since these appear in the database only once. I would appreciate if someone would be able to test and provide tips. This module/install profile would invalidate the need to merge the smaller PO files used by translators and really only import needed strings finally. I am going to beta test the concept with the Hungarian translation if the above issue can be resolved. Have a merry christmas, Gabor (who is now off to christmas dinner :)

>>Is it possible that you selected 'daily digest' instead of receiving >>each mail in your mailing list preferences? >> >>Konstantin Käfer – http://kkaefer.com/ Thank you Konstantin, I saw that 'daily digest' during registration but not in the configuration page. I guess it should be 'Set Digest Mode' and it already set to 'On'. Maybe I don't wait long enough :) I've just set 'Do you want to receive messages that do not match any topic filter?' to 'Yes'.

Drupal 5 Malay translation
by Chelah 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

My earlier and the very first post was in html format. I didn't realize that I've to do it with plain text. If you can read this than I've done it correctly. Otherwise I cannot post message using bootbox.net. My earlier message: I'm starting a Malay translation for Drupal 5. I wonder if anybody else is doing the same. It will be nice to join efforts. BTW Indonesian and Malay have many similarities. http://chelah.cara-cerna.com _____________________________________________________________ BootBox.Net - Your Home on the Internet http://www.bootbox.net Get an @bootbox.net webmail account - http://webmail.bootbox.net Get Dialup Internet Access for only $8.95/mo http://isp.bootbox.net Host Your Website For Free- http://webhosting.bootbox.net Put Your E-Commerce Business Online Virtually Free - http://bcommerce.bootbox.net

Time to start Drupal 5.0 translations!
by Gabor Hojtsy 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

Hi, Following on the release announcement of Drupal 5.0 RC1 (http://drupal.org/drupal-5.0-rc1) I have generated the translation templates of this release for all of us to enjoy and work on to make our translations compatible with Drupal 5.0 once it gets released. As the release announcement says: It's time to blow the dust off your dictionaries! With all the user interface strings frozen, you can start the translation, without fear you need to redo the work later. Small string changes are still possible, but not likely (as Dries said a few days ago). You can grab the templates from CVS: http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/translations/drupal-pot/… Alternatively, development snapshots of this branch will be available later today on drupal.org: http://drupal.org/node/103435 Gabor

Updated translation templates will be available soon
by Konstantin Käfer 19 Dec '06

19 Dec '06

Hello translators, due to some bugs in Drupal and the extractor script, certain strings were not included in the translation or did not work properly. The issues are: - http://drupal.org/node/45453 -- String freeze: description for the username field is a bit misleading - http://drupal.org/node/103519 -- Install doesn't allow "." in db prefix for psql sch - http://drupal.org/node/103784 -- Fix misuse of format_plural() in multiple places - http://drupal.org/node/103785 -- Try to fix blog module confusion by proper module description - http://drupal.org/node/103811 -- Replace %url placeholder with @url - http://drupal.org/node/103824 -- extractor.php generates from time interval template - http://drupal.org/node/103826 -- Welcome page is not translateable - http://drupal.org/node/103864 -- Color picker does not work because PHP memory too small -> wrong link in error message - http://drupal.org/node/103937 -- Dropdown list items on mass user editing page not translated - http://drupal.org/node/103946 -- Broken string: ' Character is escaped in the wrong way - http://drupal.org/node/103969 -- Fix permission names in path.module help text More will probably follow as translators discover bugs. These are all very tiny fixes (except for the welcome page which was completely untranslateable before) so they should be done quickly once new translation templates are available (i.e. when all issues are resolved).

Convert placeholders in old translations
by Konstantin Käfer 17 Dec '06

17 Dec '06

Hello translators, I wrote a script that checks all the placeholders in old translations and converts them to the appropriate character (!, % or @). The script can be found at http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/ drupal/contributions/tricks/update-placeholders.php Copy the script to your translation files and execute: for i in *.po ; do php update-placeholders.php $i ; done Be sure to make a backup of all your files and check them after the conversion. I don't guarantee for anything. Konstantin Käfer – http://kkaefer.com/
