Language Manager for VM 1.1

[Pisu]

Here is the new Language Manager, updated for the completely new VM 1.1 (beta3 and onward) language structure!

Changes from VM 1.0:

• new code structure for lang files
• charset definition directly inside lang file
• ability to select module

Also, I added some useful features for translators:

• "Rebuild Tokens" button, that delete token file for current module; useful after uploading updated language files.
• "Upload Pack" button, that upload (and extract) the Language Pack (ZIP or TAR.GZ, structure must be languages/module/language.php), works with official Language Pack builds.
• "Apply" button  in language strings editing (that save strins but let stay in editing page)
• "Export Pack" button: I think a very useful feature for translators, that automatically create a tar.gz pack with one or more modules of a language! Now translator work is made easy: import current pack, translate, than export and share the new pack!!!

Now you can: install VM 1.1 - upload official Language Pack - translate your language (one or more modules) - export translated modules, and post the updates here!

So translators, please use and test it, with the latest SVN revision!

Hi

I just started to install the component and got the message that it required the legacy plugin. Aren't you going to make a Joomla 1.5 fully compatible version?

I wish to do it, but not soon, I have very little time, sorry... And in fact, I think this is not a big problem, as this is a one-shot component for translators...,

this component does not contain the updated strings that appeared in 1.1 rev 1289 - it does not show the missing strings for version update and canadapost pages, neither in the original english or in my hungarian language files

is this intended?

[Pisu]

He Language Manager component DOES NOT contain any string!! They are dinamically read from VM.

But: after updating VM, you have to click on "REBUILD TOKENS", for made the component re-read all strings.

Yes, I noticed some problems with French files... Have you made them working?

I use your component to rebuild the tokens, but then after it is easier for me (I am doing the french translation) to to do the translation directly in an editor. So I made the quote correction direclty on the file.

But I do have the problem each time I want to rebuils the tokens.

After I click Apply or Save even if I haven't changed anything I get the following error

Code: [Select]

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' in
/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/languages/common/greek.php on line 1121

[Pisu]

uhm... can you report the content of that line 1121, when you get the error?

Hi,

For french translation I have the following problem:

If I don't translate everything in a file, then the engllish version of the string is inside the file. For those english strings the quote character is not escaped (\')

In VM 1.1 there are no charset problems! After converting files, you only have to change the "CHARSET" parameter inside the file (opening with a text editor), with "UTF-8" value.
