For language translation, please read these rules:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Format of a lang file:
|
|
|
|
{phrase}{TAB}{appname}{TAB}{LANG_CODE}{TAB}{translation}
|
|
|
|
e.g:
|
|
|
|
first name common en First Name
|
|
first name common de Vorname
|
|
|
|
|
|
Filenames:
|
|
phpgw_{LANG_CODE}.lang
|
|
|
|
e.g.
|
|
English phpgw_en.lang
|
|
German phpgw_de.lang
|
|
|
|
Please look at the content of the 'languages' table for the correct
|
|
setting of the {LANG_CODE}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rules:
|
|
|
|
1. Phrases that are 'common' are loaded for all apps! This includes
|
|
admin and preferences.
|
|
|
|
2. The appname 'common' is reserved for the API and for application names in
|
|
each application. Please DO NOT place more than a few phrases in 'common'.
|
|
These should be only enough for the appname to display correctly in the navbar
|
|
for the most part. Please set the appname field to your application name.
|
|
|
|
3. Consult an API developer prior to adding or editing files in the
|
|
phpgwapi/setup language files, and prior to adding a lot of phrases
|
|
to 'common' within an application/setup dir.
|
|
|
|
4. TRANSLATION to other languages MUST be based upon the english language
|
|
files (phpgw_en.lang in each app/setup directory). Since most of the
|
|
developers are using English as their primary language, those should
|
|
have the most complete list.
|
|
|
|
5. Language files for other than English should NOT have additional
|
|
phrases. If some phrase needs to be added to the English file, please
|
|
consult the API or application developer to let them know before you
|
|
add missing phrases.
|
|
|
|
6. Please be careful not to conflict with or duplicate an API lang entry.
|
|
Conflicts should be checked for by using setup to load the language you are
|
|
working with. Also, if more than a couple of apps are using the same or
|
|
similar lang entry, it should most likely be moved to the API lang files.
|
|
This is so that the size of the db is kept as small as possible.
|
|
|
|
7. Please do not have multiple copies of an entry for different apps when
|
|
it can be avoided. e.g. the phrase 'add widget' set to 'preferences',
|
|
'admin', 'common' and the 'appname'. When in doubt use common, so that
|
|
it will show in prefs/admin, etc.
