installing languages via package manager

January 05, 2015, 04:04:15 pm

Just a short note: We've set up a package server for translation files, thus it should be as simple as possible to install / uninstall language files.

How to use it?
Add the following URL "http://translations.elkarte.net" to the list of package servers. Then click "browse", select the preferred language and install it.

The related Admin section is - Admin - Main - Package Manager - Download Packages

Good idea TE

just one thing: I remember that those files should update daily from transifex, but there was something wrong with the cron so files were not updated and synced with translations from transifex. Is this solved now?

Great idea with server

One file is missing in install package - Addons.***.php, I guess that's because it is not available at transifex.

Just one thing, the translations are synced only if they are approved, is that true?

Great! @ 90% Malay language already is awesome. I have to find time for another 10%.

Nope, there's currently no approval process.. the files (on the package server, not your forum) will be automatically synchronized daily.

While in SMF, I remember the translations are checked for any broken string(s) as it might cause forum's break. Will similar things happen in Elk?

I have never tried, but I think transifex does that on-the-fly.

It's not setup that way at the moment (we do trust our translators

, they are part of this project) but we can change it immediately to "reviewed only" language strings if needed..

Their editor checks while editing strings, thus it's allmost impossible to break things..

As I promised, I did just a quick test: on transifex I changed the phrase n° 546 (line n°708) in index.italian.php from "Tu" to "Te"

Code: [Select]

$txt['liked_you'] = 'Tu';

I did this edit 2 days ago but it is not updated on zip file from http://translations.elkarte.net/

@TE if you can, change the

Code: [Select]

<type>modification</type>

Code: [Select]

<type>language</type>

that way the package will be displayed in its own list in the package manager.
