[Semediawiki-user] Hebrew language support

[Temlakos <tem...@gm...>]

Everyone:

I tried to submit this patch for the Hebrew language file to MediaZilla. 
Unhappily, someone seemed to think that I had done something 
inappropriate and marked my "bug" as "invalid." He suggested that I take 
it to translatewiki.net. But I don't see any real way to submit my work 
there, either.

In the absence of any further clues, I am submitting this patch here.

The patch applies to the file SMW_LanguageHe.php. It supplies 
grammatically correct Hebrew terms for the types "page", "text", "code", 
"number", "URL", and "Annotation URI"; the special properties "Display 
units," "Modification Date", and "Has improper value for," and the 
namespaces "Concept" and "Concept_talk". It also supplies a copy of the 
various special arrays needed to support the "Date" datatype. In this 
patch, they're still in English; I'm going to work to translate these 
into Hebrew and to invent an appropriate set of date format preferences. 
These I shall test on my own Hebrew-language sub-wiki, /BarayaViki/ 
(which is "CreationWiki" in Hebrew).

These translations come from Molon, the comprehensive Hebrew/English 
lexical tool based in Israel, with occasional resort to Google 
Translate. In addition, I have lately been studying some on-line 
resources to gain familiarity with Hebrew grammar and syntax. But I 
would advise the primary Hebrew-language translator to look these over.

I'm willing to submit patches anywhere, so long as we can all agree on 
where patches should be sent. I had thought that MediaZilla was 
appropriate, until someone took it upon himself to say that I had 
submitted something in the wrong place. I eagerly await notification as 
to what is the /right/ place.
