Translation templates for modules with sub-modules
by Vasileios Lourdas 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

Hi, I've contributed the Greek translation for a few third party modules. Here's a question that arises some times. A few modules (eg. module foo), have also sub-modules (eg. subfoo1, subfoo2, etc.) that provide additional functionality to foo. When I run the command line version of potx inside the module foo directory to extract the .pot file, the default behaviour of potx is to parse all files, so it generates a template for all existing modules in that directory (foo, subfoo1, subfoo2, etc.). However, I am not really sure this is a correct procedure, because of the fact that the user is able to enable only foo and not any of its submodules. So, what's the correct procedure to handle all sub-modules? Should there be an individual .pot file for each sub-module or one big .pot for all?

hi all, just joined this list. i am using drupal from long time (more then 2 years). i am from bangladesh. today me and my wife started the translation of drupal to bengali. we setup http://drupalbn.lavluda.com (drupal localization server l10n). please visit and check if we are doing something wrong. i search the drupal.org, no one is working on bengali translation. so i am asking is it possible to our site on http://drupal.org/project/l10n_server "users" list ? so that if any other people want to work on bengali translation, (s)he can join with us. thanks -- s. m. ibrahim lavlu software engineer, deployment somewherein... banglablog: http://www.somewhereinblog.net myblog: http://www.lavluda.com

Notice before an upcoming module release
by Vasileios Lourdas 19 Apr '08

19 Apr '08

Hi, I was thinking if it would be a good idea to make some sort of an announcement before an upcoming module release. This announcement would be some sort of a notice that targets the translation contributors and it would actually tell them that "Hey, in April 18th, a new version of the Foo module is expected, go ahead and update the translation for your language and either attach it in the project issue queue or commit it directly in the cvs (provided that you have an account).". So, as one understands, this would be some kind of a "warning" for translators to update their contributed translation for the latest version, so when the new version is released, the package would include the updated translation. Of course, there would be no obligation for either the module maintainer to keep up with his announced schedule or the contributor himself. It would be just a notice, that could be sent in the current list. I recall that this had happened in the past for the update_status module of the 5.x branch, before the release of Drupal 6 and I think it was a nice idea, because I had the time to contribute the translation for my language, before its official release. What do you think? -- # Vasileios Lourdas, # Informatics Engineer, Thessaloniki (Greece) # http://www.lourdas.name
