French Language Pack

Fastidious

Qiaeru why not to ask to have this checked in on the main repo?

Qiaeru

Fastidious I don't know the policy about that for now. I don't think third parties extensions will be pushed into the official repo. I will keep you informed about that.

Qiaeru

Fastidious As i said to you, I can now inform you that localizations will be extensions, not included in the default installation of Flarum. But extensions are planned to be really simple to install (for now, it's manual, but there will be a UI in the administration page to do that in the future, with a one-click installation or something near to that).

Si tu as besoin d'aide, n'hésite pas à demander 🙂

Qiaeru

SolidOrphan Merci ! N'hésite pas à participer directement avec des Pull Requests sur GitHub, c'est plus simple à gérer. Je suis ouvert à toute proposition d'amélioration.

Je demande de l'aide 😄
Je voudrais traduire des choses non traduites pour le moment, style

imgur-upload.forum.upload

ou encore

fof-nightmode.forum.night

fof-nightmode.forum.day

pour les avoir en français.

Quelle est la meilleure façon de contribuer aux traductions ?

Merci.

PS: Si vous avez un "truc" pour que je puisse le faire en local avant de le faire officiellement, je suis partant.

Qiaeru

@SolidOrphan Merci de tes contributions, j'ai merge une de tes PR. Au passage, je suis preneur pour une meilleure solution concernant "Nouveauté" et "Ancienneté". Le problème étant que la traduction de "Oldest" et "Newest" sont relativement simples, mais que je souhaite que cela reste cohérent face à "Latest". En clair, "Newest" affiche en premier les nouvelles créations de discussions alors que "Latest" prend également en compte les réponses de discussions déjà crées.

@Qiaeru Nice work! I think you would've seen this in Gitter, but I'm just gonna Toby what I said over in the Traditional Chinese thread as well:

Note that we strongly discourage overwriting Flarum's core files. It makes it a huge pain in the ass to upgrade, which is exactly what we're trying to avoid with the extensions system.

To make a language pack, you should make an extension which contains and registers your locale files. See the Packaging and Localization docs for more info.

Also, I think it would be appropriate to have a single language pack extension which includes all of the translations for core + the bundled extensions. At least, that's the conclusion we came to all those months ago, I think!

Qiaeru

Toby Hey, nice to see you there! Congrats for your amazing piece of software, it rocks! Yeah, it will be more appropriate and I planned to do that later (that was our conclusion yeah), it was just the first early releases. I'm reading right now the procedure to create an extension but I'm not a developer, so for now it's a little bit hard to understand. Be sure that I'll ask you some help at first. 🙂

Qiaeru

For information, the extension now uses new locale registration APIs (implemented here in Flarum's core).

As those locale registration APIs doesn't exist in the released Flarum beta (and development releases older than this change), the extension may not works with you current installation. So, if you're in this situation, you have to manually reverse this change in the extensions/french/src/Extension.php file located on your server.

Another information, according to Toby on Gitter, the whole structure for localizations will be getting a revamp soon, so be prepared. I'll try to be as quick as possible to update the extension when this revamp will be done.

Qiaeru

Localizations have been updated to become an extension!

Special thanks to @Toby. Without him, it will not be possible.

By the way, some documentation is available in the README.md file on GitHub (for example, to know how to download, install and update the extension).

Qiaeru Génial, merci pour ton boulot ! 🙂 j'hésiterais à aider si le besoin se fait sentir ! 😉

Qiaeru

Nulled Merci ! Si ce n'était que mon boulot, Toby en a fait déjà beaucoup au niveau technique. Sinon, pas de problème, n'hésite pas, toute contribution est la bienvenue !

Nulled

Qiaeru c'est quand même un travail de traduire (même si on a de la chance, c'est pas un soft ayant beaucoup de blabla :p )

Stew

hello please can you help start Italian translation?

Qiaeru

Stew TRK88 SolidOrphan No problem with that, you have to found all Qia, French and french and replace them, and change the content of flarum.json and src/Extension.php. README.md and .gitignore can be removed, they are relative to GitHub. Please make sure to keep all spaces as they are, or you will break things!

PS: http://discuss.flarum.org/d/648-i-need-help-about-italian-translation/3

For information, @Toby will simplify in the future the way to create an extension when it's a localization, because for now, if you're following the documentation, some unnecessary files and folders will be present.

TRK88

Can we base on this file to translate to own language ofc with credits to Your work? You don't have any problem with that?

SolidOrphan

A guide to create an extension (for a language), for all non-developers translators out there, would be nice.

Stew

Qiaeru thanks you great

Qiaeru

For information, times localization have been implemented in the latest extension version. I tested it and it works. It's based on French moment.js locale. This localization is not included by default, but it seems intended like that. At least at this very moment. So, like everything, this can be changed.

Be sure to update frequently the extension in the Flarum beta stage. It's super simple to update, and it's even explained in the How to update? section of the documentation. 🙂

dorea

Is it possible to use this extension for other languages?

Qiaeru

dorea Yes, some translators already done that (concerning Russian and Polish as I can see for now).

Be sure to change all french, French and Qia references, change the flarum.json and README.md content, and, of course, put your localization in the locale/ directory, instead of the French one).
