(I'm forwarding a copy of this to the phpslash-users list where this kind of
questions can help all phpslash users in general)
Hello Pedro,
Hi Luis, I'm currently working on a web site using phpslash in spanish.
I've been reading the phpslash forum, but I have not been able to translate
the site into spanish. I have the es.php file under the include folder and
changed and the default language setting from en(english) to es(spanish) in
the config.ini.php without any success. I may be missing some steps and
that's what prompt my email to you. Could you please tell me what steps
should I take to translate the site successfully to spanish? Are there any
other fixes that you know I should incorporate into the phpslash that I
have installed? What other problems that you know that I should take into
account before launching the site?
You have done well, there are other strings that don't get translated from
the locale es.php files ( class/locale/es.php ). That means that even if you
changed the default language in the config.ini.php file, you still might
need to "fork" the themes located inside "public_html/templates".
Inside that directory you will see a "en" directory that holds all
templates. Essentially, you will need to create a "es" directory and inside
this directory, create a directory for whichever theme (skin) you will be
using, let's say "basiccurves" or whatever skin you choose. Now, you will
need to copy from "en/basiccurves" the files to "es/basiccurves" and
translate the non-html strings. Lastly, inside "es/basiccurves" you should
have a file named "skin.ini" that contains a line like the following:
skin.parent = "../en/basic"
This tells phpslash to use files from the previous directory, english
language, basic skin, whenever it needs a file that is not part of the
spanish (es) basiccurves directory that you created.
I hope this helps. In general, it would be good if you subscribe to the
phpslash-users list and ask questions there. However, it is fine if you send
me your questions directly.
I installed phpslash 0.7.2 under windows. Thanks in advance for any
pointers.
Windows rocks! :-D
(j/k, just to create some flamewars for those zealous Linux users who read
the phpslash-users list).
As a general rule, we are not aware of any problem specific to Windows.
phpslash seems to run just as good on all platforms.
Last thing, we are in the process of releasing phpslash-0.8 which is also
very stable, but, still going through some testing. We would appreciate the
feedback.
Also, 0.8 will have better support for translations.
Regards, Pedro Martinez
