Topic: Simple Machines adds team dedicated to internationalization

[nvcnvn]

I not sure that the Vietnamese is available. But if not I hope that we can open one team and one box for Vietnamese!

SMF is not so popularity like VBB or phpBB in Vietnam, but I think SMF is more convenient than VBB and phpBB, I hope that in the future SMF will become the most popularity in my country!

There is a vietnamese language pack available. However it is not fully translated. We have a few vietnamese translators, but we can always use more

Will every translator get an Internationalizer badge? Or can we join to the group somehow?

[Akyhne]

No, there's no badge attached to translators.

To become a translator, read this: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=258872.0

Internationalisers are team members who oversee the language translations and other language related issues. Translators arent team members, which wont net them a badge. Many translators, but not all, are local moderators for their language.

You can see it in the team members page of the site.

Great news 

Besides translation which is the most obvious, perhaps some more efforts could be made to handle UTF-8 characters without strlen-problem.

You don't need any badge to help SMF. I think SMF doen't need people with Status but people that works.

Thanks a lot for all your efforts, looking forward for the RTL versions

i'm not agreed with you ... i'm accepting about no-badge QQs but We are in the SMF Team ... We're Helping the Community about Translating, you can say "All can make this" but we were choosed for that

one more question how can i became a "Internationalizer" ?
i must be php-master or mod-creator or both of

[Gary]

We are in the SMF Team

Wrong. The team is defined by the badges. If you have a coloured badge with the SMF logo in it, then you are part of the team. Just because you translate SMF into X, Y and Z language, report Q number of bugs or donate G amount of money doesn't put you on the team, but rather, ASSISTING the team.

Getting on the team is harder than that, I went through it (but I stepped down of my own choice), you have to put a lot of hard work into supporting fellow users, design stuff, code stuff, or in the case of the new internationalisation team, I'd say it'd be translating, but also assisting people with their own translations too, and also supporting people within the language boards.

Good news it will improve localization support.
