Translator Info
|
||
|
|
---------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you like phpPgAdmin, then why not translate it into your native language?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are quite a large number of strings to be translated. Partial
|
||
|
|
translations are better than no translations at all, and a rough guide is that
|
||
|
|
the strings are in the order from most important to least important in the
|
||
|
|
language file. You can ask the developers list if you don't know what a
|
||
|
|
certain string means.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We tried keeping translation easy in phpPgAdmin by using ONLY the UTF-8 charset.
|
||
|
|
Make sure to always work on UTF-8 files when creating a new translation or
|
||
|
|
editing an existing one.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To Create a new translation:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Go to the lang/ subdirectory
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Copy english.php to yourlanguage.php
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Update the comment at the top of the file. Put yourself as the language
|
||
|
|
maintainer. Edit the 'applang' variable and put your language's name in it,
|
||
|
|
in your language.
|
||
|
|
Edit the 'applocale' and put your language code according to the standart:
|
||
|
|
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1766.txt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Basicaly, you just need to put your language code [1] and optionnaly country
|
||
|
|
code [2] separated by a '-'. As instance for french canadian, it is: fr-CA
|
||
|
|
[1]: http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/IG/ert/iso639.htm
|
||
|
|
[2]: http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/iso_3166_code_lists/country_names_and_code_elements.htm
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Go through as much of the rest of the file as you wish, replacing the
|
||
|
|
English strings with strings in your native language.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At this point, you can send the yourlanguage.php file to us and we will take
|
||
|
|
care of testing and recoding the translation. Please only do that if you
|
||
|
|
find the rest of these steps too difficult.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. To add your language to phpPgAdmin, edit the lang/translations.php file
|
||
|
|
and add your language to the $appLangFiles array.
|
||
|
|
Also, add your language to the $availableLanguages array for
|
||
|
|
browser auto detection.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. Send your contribution to us. We need the lang/translations.php entry as
|
||
|
|
well as the lang/yourlanguage.php file. Email to the developers list:
|
||
|
|
phppgadmin-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
7. There exists a tool named 'langcheck' in the lang/ directory. To run it,
|
||
|
|
just type 'php langcheck <language>'. It will give you a report about
|
||
|
|
which strings are missing from your language file and which need to be
|
||
|
|
deleted.
