[HowTo] Translate the Gallery

[nickvergessen]

I have decided to change the way of translating and providing translations for the gallery a bit. I think the best way is the following.


How will translations be published?
When a new version (f.e. 1.1.0) There will be multiple announcements in the Announcement forum. One is for the gallery itself ("phpBB Gallery 1.1.0 released"), another one is for all the translations ("Translations for phpBB Gallery 1.1.0"). In this topic I will post a unified-diff of the language changes with a request for translations. If you translated all files, you just add a {LANG_TAG}.xml and zip your packages.

You then reply to the post, add your package as attachment and hit the "Place inline"-button.
Note: Your posts will be queued and will need to get approved by me.

Subject:

Code: Select all

[{LANG_TAG}] {LANG_NAME_ENG} / {LANG_NAME_LOCAL}

• {LANG_TAG} = the iso of the phpbb-package (folder name: exp. languages/en/*.php => your iso is en)
• {LANG_NAME_ENG} = full English-Language-Name (exp: German)
• {LANG_NAME_LOCAL} = full localized Language-Name (exp: Deutsch)

Message:

Code: Select all

[b]Language:[/b] {LANG_NAME_ENG} / {LANG_NAME_LOCAL}
[b]Language-Authors:[/b] {USERNAME}
[b]Language-Download:[/b] {inline attachment}

How can I version-control my translation?
You don't need to do this, if you don't want to.

The easiest way to have a version control is to use git and github. If you are on Windows I would suggest using TortoiseGit and msysgit for this. If you installed it correctly you need to register on github.com and fork the gallery repository from my account. If you need more help with that, please see http://wiki.phpbb.com/Working_with_Git and try google to find more help.

However, I will not accept pull-requests on github for translations.

Forgot to set the permissions properly. You should now be able to upload files.
