[phpslash-users] RE: phpslash in spanish...

(I'm forwarding a copy of this to the phpslash-users list where this kind of 
questions can help all phpslash users in general)

Hello Pedro,

You have done well, there are other strings that don't get translated from 
the locale es.php files ( class/locale/es.php ). That means that even if you 
changed the default language in the config.ini.php file, you still might 
need to "fork" the themes located inside "public_html/templates".
Inside that directory you will see a "en" directory that holds all 
templates. Essentially, you will need to create a "es" directory and inside 
this directory, create a directory for whichever theme (skin) you will be 
using, let's say "basiccurves" or whatever skin you choose. Now, you will 
need to copy from "en/basiccurves" the files to "es/basiccurves" and 
translate the non-html strings. Lastly, inside "es/basiccurves" you should 
have a file named "skin.ini" that contains a line like the following:

skin.parent = "../en/basic"

This tells phpslash to use files from the previous directory, english 
language, basic skin, whenever it needs a file that is not part of the 
spanish (es) basiccurves directory that you created.

I hope this helps. In general, it would be good if you subscribe to the 
phpslash-users list and ask questions there. However, it is fine if you send 
me your questions directly.

Windows rocks! :-D

(j/k, just to create some flamewars for those zealous Linux users who read 
the phpslash-users list).

As a general rule, we are not aware of any problem specific to Windows. 
phpslash seems to run just as good on all platforms.

Last thing, we are in the process of releasing phpslash-0.8 which is also 
very stable, but, still going through some testing. We would appreciate the 
feedback.
Also, 0.8 will have better support for translations.
