Translation problem

Post by mwarda »

I get problem to translate some of the interface items (phpMyFAQ 2.5.1). They appear in red on the admin gui and it seems that they are not contained within language file I try to fine tune.

Other problem I got is that despite char set is defined properly to ISO-8859-2 (for pl) some things (for example PDF generated from the Q&A entry) got corrupted characters. Is this featrue to fix within phpMySQL or is dependant on other my enviromental settings?

yes, all string marked red aren't translated. I do not speak Polish so I need the help from volunteers around the world. You can add the missing translations and send the file to me. I'll add the new translation in the next version.

Could you please show me this issue?

I would translate them however I can't save the translation (error message "error saving" or save progress never ends). I did check that files are read&write to all.

It looks that descirbed text strings in red are not present in language files (I have checked both Polish and English and some other one). Any idea? At least strings from the start page would be good to translate: Instant and Sitemap. Where they can be found, please?

Hi,

strings in red are not translated, you're correct. They will be added automatically if you use the translation tool. The english language file is the main language file, all other translations will use english as the main scheme for translations.

OK, but I can't save any changes to translation. Progress keep on going but endless. I have checked privilages to files already and even extended them.

Version is 2.5.1.
There is no error. Saving progress goes on endlessly (saving status under Admin worklog left side menu).

Hi,

okay, I think, we have to re-work on this feature... it's too slow!

@mwarda: But you can change and translate the language texts in your language file in \lang\language_en.php for example. Just look for the string you like to change and correct it.
kind regards

OK. I try 2.5.2. What upgrade you recommend from 2.5.1 - by update script included in instalation package?

you just have to change the files listed in docs/CHANGEDFILES.txt and run install/update.php.

Hi!

I downloaded and installed 2.5.5 today. When I try to use the translation interface, the "saving ..." message appears but nothing happens. In the server logs I see 500 - Internal Server Error. When I try to save any other language, then It succeeds. Is there a way to debug it?

Thx,
Einon
