Language translation overhaul
  • adfad666adfad666 July 2009

    I had a look at the language system to update the Czech files, and I think the current system needs an overhaul for it to be useable out of the box for the Czech language (and all other slavic languages and my guess pretty much all languages).

    For a simple example, in the invoice preferences, you can set the invoice wording to 'Faktura' (the Czech word for Invoice) which changes things on the invoice print preview page etc. Then for the part called Invoice Summary I can translate the word Summary in the lnguage file to p?ehled. However, 'Faktura p?ehled' is nonsense, it needs to be 'Fakturov

    hey adam,

    thanks for you comments - i understand what your saying - the translation system is not perfect but easily fixed

    in the template for a give page it may say {$LANG.biller}{$LANG.add} which in english = Biller add

    if this is nonsense when translated into another language all that has to be done is that in the template it needs to be changed to {$LANG.biller_add} and a new variable is needed in the lang file for this value.

    if you want to help out - just send me your gmail username - have a look at using svn to checkout the latest code and adjust the templates
    - no php/coding skills required!

    let me know if your interested in helping out

    cheers

    justin
