    Well, I have a vBulletin English Language XML file, gotta let you know guys, we're talking about circa 6000 phrases (between one word and fifty) for a complete translation.

    If you want to do it I'll put the XML defined phrases up on the wiki (which appears to be broken right now, I'll have to take boards.ie offline to check it).

    Buttons and stuff are copyright by Jelsoft though, I can't put sources/raws for those up for people to edit (don't know if they can be altered by a language change anyway, might be restricted to themes).

    Cool :)

    Sorry for not posting on this thread sooner, I spent far too much time fumbling around for a language file and reading up on their creation and implementation and then boards went offline and... it just plain slipped my mind thereafter!

    Rightio, here's the page with the XML data uploaded to it:

    http://wiki.boards.ie/wiki/Vbulletin_Irish_translation_project

    Feel free to rename/edit as you like! The part of those phrases that require translation is the bit between the <![CDATA[]]> tags, eg:

    [php]<![CDATA[Access Denied]]>[/php]

    The rest is necessary to allow the XML file to be hooked into vbulletin.

    The initial flurry of interest in the translation has waned a bit. I reckon it's because most of the phrases put up in the wiki are related to back-end administration rather than phrases that users are familiar with. I'm going to continue to plug away on the translation but focus only on front-end
    phrases. When those phrases are done, which it still a ways off at this rate, would it be possible to put them up as an optional language pack to see how it looks?

    I selected some of the phrases from Boards' home page and went to the wiki to find the corresponding entries but loads of them are missing. I couldn't find the following for instance: "All times are GMT..." "Filter Latest Posts" "Recent Updates" "subscribed" "Latest Forum Posts" "Thread Title (Replies)".

    Any chance of getting the full set of front-end phrases?

    I also see that Peoplesrepublicofcork.com are working with Fóras na Gaeilge to create an Irish language interface. They are using vBulletin as well and they have almost everything translated. How about getting a copy of that pack?

    Front page is hardcoded, not a part of vBulletin.

    That won't be translated.

    That's a pity, if the home page can't have an Irish version - then I think we can forget about this project.

    No need to be that negative about it.
    The front page on boards is completely different to most vbulletin forums so of course it's gonna be different.

    Having the rest of the site as Gaeilge would be plenty (and certainly something to work from).

    That does look interesting, they mention that once they've finished the translation they're gonna release the vbulletin language pack to anyone. I think we've made good work on our translation so far so there's no point in just waiting for Foras to finish what they're at, but we should definitely have a look at it once it's done and compare to our own work.

    EDIT: I've emailed Foras to see how they're getting on with the translation. Hopefully we can all put our heads together and get this up and running.

    ok so, to progress the project I think we have to separate out all the front-end phrases, they're lost amongst all the back-end phrases there at the moment. I'd suggest we put all the front-end phrases onto a new wiki page of their own.

    If we could get the front-end phrases from the Forás it would save a lot of work but I'm happy to keep going either way.

    I just need to know if it would be a problem for Cult to put up a semi-translated pack.

    No problem with putting up a semi translated pack, no need for you guys to translate the admin stuff that you'll never see.

    Apologies for resurecting this thread - but it is revevant I swear!

    I think the translation for thepeoplesrepublicofcork to gaeilge is done, and is available for download here, as I'm not a member - and too lazy to register on that forum I don't have it here so I can't check it.

    Is there any chance it could be implimented!?

    Just had a look at that language pack. It could do with a bit of tidying up. Random capitalisation all over the shop. :S

    A good start though, maybe throw it up as it is and seeing it live will mean we'll see what needs more work.

    Yea well if we get it up, and put the translation up on the wiki we can change some of the stuff as we like...

    Ronny,

    Any chance I could look at the language pack? I registered on that forum - but it still won't let me download the file...

    It looks a bit short is the only thing (If you compare it to the one on the wiki that we have...)


    I'd be interested in hearing from one of the Admins - are we still on for using the translation?

    Yep! Only caveat is that it's a working translation; we wouldn't be able to commit to fixing errors or adding extra stuff every other day or week.

    Basically we need to be able to install it once and forget about it :)

    Ah, ok, cheers. Guess we need to iron it out a little to make sure it's kosher before knocking it out.

    We've a bit more work to do before I'd be happy to go with it.

    Going to have to stop the show on this one, I'm afraid. The motivation isn't there, and we haven't the time to dedicate to it in the office.

    It also might cause us technical problems in the future where we'd have to end up dropping the support for it - it'd be worse to have it finished only to have it removed at a later date.

    Sorry folks.
