Id like to translate WebCalendar into another language. What do I do?
It’s a fairly simple process. If you’ve ever translated a C-based app that used GNU’s gettext tool, then you’ll have no problem. The I18N support was based on GNU’s gettext. Here’s what you need to do. • look in the “translations” directory • copy the English-US.txt file into what you’d like to call your language data file. (e.g. cp English-US.txt French.txt) • Now translate all the text to the _right_ of the “:” into the new language. Do not alter the text to the left of the “:”. • When you’re done making changes, move into the “tools” directory. Run the check_translation.pl script on your new data file to make sure you have all the needed translations. (e.g. perl check_translation.pl French) • Add the new language to both the $languages array and the $browser_languages arrays defined in includes/config.php. • Test it out… • Email a copy of the new .txt data file to cknudsen@radix.net.
