Title: Maintaining translation up to date ?
Post by: ep98 on February 19, 2011, 02:19:08 PM

RC5 is the lastest version of smf, and i dont really understand your question.
Can you please be more specific?
Translators are taking care for translations pack, and theres no need to worry about that.

Some translators did a lot of crap work, translators using Automated services like Google translators can't be called even losers. SMF makes a lot of changes on the language files in every release, where this changes can be viewed, are they commented in the language files ? Or do you plan build-in translation module like MyBB ?

Regarding translators - Can you Translate Add forum as Add Category, Add Section, Add board and all this 3 for a simple task to make Category, main board and sub board ?

Or to translate profile as Edit Profile, or to translate POST as POST, or ACCOUNT AS ACCOUNT or to left 90% of the prepared package in English ?

ep98, all translators do their best help this community, and they do it for free.
Notice that translating isnt so easy as it seems to be, and notice that everyone can help.
If you have some suggestions you can contact your language translators or you can even join translators teem to improve translation for your language.

If you have futher questions, feel free to ask.

Regards.

The question is only one.
How to keep an eye on changes between two versions, for example RC5 to Final.
And all of my work is free too.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtlt
http://cmsbg.info

The simple was simply to answer my question, instead to redirect me to people which don't respect they're own language, what left for the quality of work.

SMF 2.0 RC5 is non-understandable in Bulgarian, bcz one word is translated in 5 variants.
Keep good work with "your language translators". I'll find the way to keep eye on changes, probably will use Winmerge.
Feel free to delete this thread. Case closed - I've got useless answers.

You can follow changes by comparing language packs for RC5 and 2.0 final (for example).
There is no other way. because 2.0 wont have manually instructions for upgrade, so you cant see changes on that way.

Smf translators have a smf tool for this. They can update the changes only with it.

Well, from https://www.transifex.net/ already works on the task, to import your language files there, once task is done this tool will be obsolete.
Thanks for awful cooperation....

So a man which don't respect his own language is Titled and protected by you ? Wow, this is very disappointing. Have fun with this outdated, misspelled translations.
