Hi everyone,

I've been researching how to best add multiple languages.

If you'd like to help beta test a multi-language CMS Builder please post below and include the language you can translate into.

Thanks!

Hi Dave,

I would be very happy to help you to make a translation in French.

Is that possible ?

Thanks

Hi Dave,

I can help make a Norwegian translation.

How many words/phrases are you anticipating this will be?

Djulia and aev, thanks!

I was thinking we could start out with all the common words and phrases and proceed from there. I didn't want to do all the uncommon error messages and such.

So this would be: modify, erase, save, etc

Hi Djulia,

I'm going to work on the code, and then when it's ready I'll send you a private beta you can try out with a language file you can translate.

Hopefully next week I'll have this ready.

Hi Djulia and aev (and others),

I've attached a file 'fr.php' to this post with a few (4) language strings to show you the format. I just used Google Translate so my translations are likely wrong. :)

What I'd like you to do is update the existing strings and add any new ones you'd like to see in the multi-language version. The file is in UTF-8 so let me know if you have any problems opening it. The basic format is like this:

### Default Text => Translation Text
'Cancel' => 'Annuler',
'Save' => 'Sauver',
'Create' => 'Créer',
'Refresh' => 'Actualiser',

The text on the left is what's in the program now, the text on the right is the translation for your language. So if you wanted to add the french translation for 'Left' you'd add:

'Left' => 'Gauche',

Just create a new language file (or post if you have problems with the file), name if after your language code and attach it to this thread then I'll make it work.

Hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions.

Update: I've updated the attach language file for anyone who wants to use this as a starting point.

Hi Dave,

You can say to me if it is reasonable for you ?

There are limits for you for the selection of the texts ?

Thanks,

Djulia

Hi Djulia,

Looks good, I've made all these work in the program and went through and made any adjustments needed. I'll send you a private message with a link to download a beta version.

To upgrade all you need to do is upload the /lib/ folder (make a backup first) and then set your language under: Admin > Regional Settings.

Let me know any additional text we missed, problems you have, etc.
