Who can me give some advice where i could begin start You should look in lib/BackupPC/Lang. Each language has its own file. You can copy copy en.pm (English) to tr.pm (Turkish) and then edit it with the translation of each string. Don't change any of the html or variable names prefixed by "$" - just the English text. To test your translation set $Conf{Language} to 'tr'. You also should add 'tr' to the definition of Language in lib/BackupPC/Config/Meta.pm so that choice is displayed in the CGI interface. The new file name also has to be added to makeDist in CVS, which I can do. The makeDist script does a lot of consistency checking of the language files, so it would be good if you could run that too. Before you start you should be sure you are committed to support the translation updates for each new version. While the on-going work is actually very small, each new translation means there is an increasing amount of work when I change the CGI interface to get everyone to update their translations. In fact, two of the language files - Spanish and Portuguese-Brazilian - still have English snippets prefixed with "ENG". It would be great if any fluent list member can send me diffs for those strings. Craig |
