SMF Translation FAQ

[Daniel D.]

Sorry, I didn't write anything about it.

We can't use them in the actual status. Nearly 50% isn't translated!! We need all files translated - please look in the first post to see which files we need. The .xml files are optional. The images can't be used because they're totally mixed up and contains other pics which are not in SMF.

Please look at the english images from SMF and write a list with the translation (default and classic). I'll send it to Andrea, who will make the buttons.

[J. S.]

Okay, as I say`d this one is a beta version. I will finish the translation in a few days. I only have to translate the administration part, I thought that this is not so important for the users and the admin should know english.

There were many files which were not translated - I mean the download from last week.

Important is the translation from the images! Could you send the "words" to Andrea?

[J. S.]

Yes, I will do that today, and the text translation I will finish in a few days (2-3).

Hi everybody!

I am here for a first time, so please don't attack me if the question I am going to ask is trivial or have been already asked and answered.

I am going to organise a Forum for my Russian speaking friends, so I need a Russian language package.
I have realised that it does not exist yet in a form of ready-to-install package. Is it the case?

[andrea]

Russian language is done. In fact it should be already on the download page. Otherwise you will find it posted in the russian language support forum.

[Kirill]

Thank you very much, Andrea.  I am going to find it out.

Ok, I have found it (SMF_1-0-1_russian.zip). I have installed the SMF 1.0.2 just now and I have transfered all the files to the corresponding directoty (themes). Nothing happens, I cannot even choose the Russian language among others, it does not appear in a pull-down menu...
Can anybody help me?

[Daniel D.]

You have to copy the themes folder into the main folder of your smf directory. You've to overwrite the current one. Instead of this, copy the files manually in the Themes/default/languages folder.

You are absolutely right. I was completely confused with the files transfer. Now it works properly. I am so stupid in this field, sorry...

[Daniel D.]

Glad it works. It would be the first time it doesn't...

Hello, Russian is not on the language download page!

As a matter of fact, that page might benefit from some updating only three languages are on it for version 1.0.3.  Also, it would be very nice if someone could put really simple, easy and BASIC instructions on how to install language packs on that same page, including such useful info as answers to things like "Can I use a 1.0.2 language pack in 1.0.3?" and "Can SMF provide users with the option to see the forum in their native language (i.e. run simultaneously in more than 1 language)?" Thanks.

[Daniel D.]

I need the files in my email inbox. Link?

hmm... whats the policy on translations for the 1.1 betas
I always thought that the 1.0.3s would do, but lately I got feedback suggesting that there have been many changes to the 1.1 beta and the 1.0.3 translations didn't work.

[Owdy]

Yes, 1.0.3 files wont work in 1.1. There are tons of changes. Translators have to wait publick releases if they arent CM's or team members.

[jindroush]

Hm, I've finished Czech pack 1.0.3 some time ago, PMed Daniel D. about three times, no reply, no download. I'm getting requests from czech users time from time. Is there any problem with uploading czech language pack??

[Daniel D.]

Some files have english strings (Help and Install are full english, ManagePermissions and Themes have english strings), so please change this. It has also strings in Modificatons.czech.php, which should not be in default.

Sorry for this delay, but there were other things I had to do.

I translated the Chinese-traditional language pack to 1.0.4 (It was 1.0.2).  It can be acquired from http://www.anetcity.com/bbs/index.php?topic=740.new#new.
The forum interface is in Chinese only, but it's ok to reply in English.

I'm not certain this is the right post to say this, but I don't know where to submit it.  At least it's not mentioned in the download area like mods.
