Dutch Language Pack

Dominion

Welcome to Flarum, Rodymol!

You'll find the localization docs (such as they are) here ... as you say, the infrastructure is indeed subject to change (and so is the documentation). Currently the devs are recommending that people attempt translation only if they also know a bit about software development. But if you feel up to the challenge, go for it!

luceos

Welkom and good that you do make the localization!

Just published the Dutch language extension! https://github.com/rodymolenaar/Flarum-nl-NL

Contribute if you feel like it ?

Aartsie

Hi! what do you need for the translation ?
I saw on your github project that you are using the French language extension as a base ? so i don't know if i can help.

Aartsie

I saw that for beta3 we need to change the file names to flarum-*.yml

Qiaeru

There are a lot of changes since the Beta 2 release, not only the file renaming. 😉

rodymol123

Qiaeru I noticed. I'm going to study the changes and will this time properly setup the extension 😛

Qiaeru

Changes are too important to update at once, it's easier to start from scratch.

I think I'm not wrong to say that you can start working on it now (but heh, we never know). I don't think there will be (too many) changes from the current develoment version to the Beta 3 release.

You can use the default language on GitHub as skeleton. If you get some issues, you should wait the documentation. 🙂

luceos

Qiaeru no, you are correct. The master branch is ready to be translated, there is only one unrelated task on the todo for beta 3 to be released. Also the English translation is absolutely usable as a skeleton, but i wouldn't release anything until beta 3 is released as well.

Aartsie

I will wait for @rodymol123, when he think it is ready to build i can support him.

rodymol123

luceos Exactly my plan! 😉 btw Aartsie I'm going to push a beta3 branch later tonight

Followed installation instructions:

composer create-project flarum/flarum . --stability=beta
composer require rodymolenaar/flarum-ext-dutch

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Installation request for flarum/core (locked at v0.1.0-beta.6, required as ^0.1.0) -> satisfiable by flarum/core[v0.1.0-beta.6].
    - rodymolenaar/flarum-ext-dutch v1.1.0 requires flarum/core ^0.1.0-beta.7 -> satisfiable by flarum/core[v0.1.0-beta.7].
    - rodymolenaar/flarum-ext-dutch v1.1.1 requires flarum/core ^0.1.0-beta.7 -> satisfiable by flarum/core[v0.1.0-beta.7].
    - Conclusion: don't install flarum/core v0.1.0-beta.7
    - Installation request for rodymolenaar/flarum-ext-dutch ^1.1 -> satisfiable by rodymolenaar/flarum-ext-dutch[v1.1.0, v1.1.1].

Update: ah, the Flarum installation instructions are outdated. I got it to work by running composer update

jordanjay29

gwillem You have to finish the installation before running any further composer require commands. Flarum won't be recognized as a dependency (hence the satisfiable by.... errors) until ilt's fully installed.

I have a freeflarum.com forum running with this language pack, and I noticed the emails for topics I'm following are still in English. Is this an issue with this language pack, or with freeflarum.com?

luceos

lensco with the language pack. It hasn't been updated in a while.

lensco

luceos Is it fairly easy to work on this language pack? I would love to help translate, if it's not too big of a technical hurdle.

luceos

lensco you can edit files inside GitHub, once you press confirm it will automatically create a PR. It's up to the maintainer to merge the code.

So it's pretty easy to begin with.
