<P>phpGroupWare is built using a multi-language support scheme. This means the pages can be translated to other languages
|
||
|
|
very easily. It is done thru a series of lang files, which can be translated and selected by the user.

|

|
|
|
||
|
|
<P>Some instructions on using the lang files.<BR>
|
||
|
|
Under inc/lang there needs to be a sub-directory for each langague. Inside the
|
||
|
|
directory there are a number of files for each application. There is one common file
|
||
|
|
which contains a list of words that all applications use. ie, add, delete, edit, etc...<BR>
|
||
|
|
Words that are specific to a application should be stored with that applications include file.

The list of words in the left column should always be written in english. The
|
||
|
|
second column is used to return those words in that includes language. <CODE>$m1, $m2,
|
||
|
|
$m3, and $m4</CODE> are used to pass extra data to be place in the middle of a sentence.<BR>

The default should return a bold faced * and the word that wasn't found. This allows users to notice that something is missing in the files and make changes if
|
||
|
|
necessary.
