Re: [Phpwiki-talk] [dutch] translation update

[Jeff D. <da...@da...>]

Hi Jan,

Thank you for the fixes.  I've checked them in to the CVS main branch.
(I have not back-ported any of your translation fixes to the stable
branch of the CVS --- should they be?)

(I've massaged a couple of your gettext()ification a bit.  You might
want to take a look to see that you still like them.)

It's the "alpha" branch.   The system is working as it should:  Someone m=
akes
changes (that work for him, on the systems he has access to), and others =
tell
him if it's broken.

My changes (which worked on the systems I have access to)
were an attempt to keep the localization config information in system
environment variables.  This is, I think, a good idea, since it's the
normal way to do things.  (On some systems, the environment variables
might already be set correctly, and require no adjustment by the
phpwiki administrator.  Who knows?)

That said --- getting the locale stuff to work seems to be highly system
dependent.  What works seems depends on:

  * PHP version and configuration
  * OS type/version
  * libc type/version
  * who knows what else?

"We" should probably make a concerted effort to come up with a language
selection scheme which works reliably on as wide a range of systems as
possible.  (Perhaps we need to construct a robust test program and/or
start a page on the wiki for test reports of what does and does not work.=
)
