Website

translations

I’m not sure if I should post this here or under “Internationalisation”. As this is some kind of feature request, I post it here…

There are some strings that have never been translated:

on the page tab

• default
• archive

on the form tab

• article
• comment
• file
• link
• misc
• default

on the live page

• First Post
• Search
• Browse
• I enjoy your site very much.
• Donald Swain

on the organize tab

• Hope for the Future
• Meaningful Labor
• Reciprocal Affection
• Site Design

on the Advanced preferences tab

• custom1
• custom2

on the section tab

• about
• article

All dates in the admin interface use the english date format.

Would it be possible to make these string accessible and editable via the localisation interface?

Re: translations

This would over-complicate installation and other internal workings far more than reasonable:

• The default data is just supposed to be samples, not something you have to keep and use. (For “Search” and “Browse” on the live page, that’s a limitation of the tags involved, they just use the “label” attribute.)
• Things like pages and forms rely upon their names being certain values, for keeping certain ones from being deleted (“default”,“error_default”, etc) and for supplying default forms for certain tags (“plainlinks”, “default”, etc).
