Hi,
we are interested in translating an Irish language (Gaelic) version of PHPGedView. Does anyone know offhand how many strings/words require translation? This informaion will be used to plan our project. Many thanks for your time.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I can't give you a word count. Word counts wouldn't mean much anyway, since there is a lot of repetition, and also some words don't require translation.
You should concentrate on translating the files for version 3.4 in favour of version 3.3.5.
I would suggest that you start with the facts and lang files. When these are done, PhpGedView will be usable in Gaelic. Next, work on help_text (because that's what your users will need to see), and lastly work on configure_help (which is for administrators).
The countries file is optional. Not all languages have it.
You should know that the normal behaviour of PhpGedView is to default to the English version of any given language text when the same text isn't defined in whatever language is currently in effect. This means that you could start with an empty help_text file, and add to it gradually. You don't have to release the whole works in one chunk.
We'll look forward to seeing support for Irish Gaelic in PhpGedView.

Here are the approximate line counts for the English files of version 3.4:
configure_help.en.php - 640
countries.en.php - 265
facts.en.php - 227
help_text.en.php - 349
lang.en.php - 1314

Many thanks, we hope to get started in the coming weeks.
