Instructions for a new translation

Post by debi »

Hello,
Where can I find detailed instructions to make a new translation for the Phoca Guestbook? (list of files to alter and stuff)
I'm interested in one of the two options: or change the files after installation and add a new (rtl) language, or translate the installation package.
What 's the best way to do it and (in short... or not) what is the process?
Tx :-)

Hi,
You did not mention which version of Phoca Guestbook you want to translate.
If you mean the joomla 1.6 / 1.7 version see this thread. viewtopic.php?f=16&t=14847 It's a guide for Phoca Gallery translation but the steps for Phoca Guestbook translation are the same.

Kind regards,
Benno

and... another anoying issue... if I may :-)

After installation and creation of a guestbook and proper link and parameters, I get the "The name you have entered contains bad characters" message and can't post anything... I tried everything and couldn't figure out what the problem was!
Is it in the parameters or something else?

Ok! I got it but don't quite understand why this is happening...
one of the caracters I entered in the Title field was a ('), like as part of a sentence... and that's the troublemaker!
"Title" stands for "heading" right? ... not for "Mr, Mrs..." and such?
English is not my mothertongue so I'm a bit confused.
It would help to know it, in order to make sure i got the right meaning in the translation too.

About the translation, thanks for the link, that helped a lot and was fun to learn something new :-)
where must I send the files to? Most of the strings are translated (hebrew), and i'll try to finish it totally in a few days.
Should i send you the temporary HEBREW package or wait untill it's totally finished?

Please finish the translation completely, and then send it to Jan as an email attachment.

Kind regards & thanks for your work,
Benno
