Re: [Obsolete] Translating Textpattern to ...
Is there any procedure how to take over unmaintained translation? I am referring to Latvian/Latviešu translation as both former translators have not shown a sign of activity for some time and I see lots of untranslated strings even with updated language file.

I guess.. mail him, and if you haven’t got an answer in a week or so mail Sencer or Kusor and ask to take over. Having some presence on the TXP forums, for some time, will probably help.

Danish translation (Dansk) has been updated:
https://svn.adora.dk/svn/textpattern/language/dk-da/da-dk.txt has been updated.
There seems to be some untranslated string in it.
This file:
http://rpc.textpattern.com/lang/da-dk.txt
has some of the translated string in it. perhaps you can use those?

Which strings are you thinking of?

We are planning to translate the texts in NeMe to Greek and Turkish but I cannot find a Turkish file. Is there a Turkish translation for txp? I cannot find it on the Language Files

Gemal:
I just searched for article_markup in the latest revision. It finds:
article_markup => Artikel-markup ##Article Markup
This is translated, agree?

The most updated version is that from SVN.
Get it from:
https://svn.adora.dk/svn/textpattern/language/dk-da/da-dk.txt
I do not know why the one that is provided with the release of Textpattern is still the old outdated one.

If I do that then I get string like this in the admin interface:
“Udvidelser #Extensions”
“Vedvarende #Sticky”
“Sortering og visning ## Sort and Display”
Isn’t something wrong?
If I look at the file it also has lines like:
article_posted => Artikel skrevet ## Article posted

The problem is, that the comments are note treated as such. For some reason the file is not stripped for comments before it is loaded.
Could someone please explain why these comments are not stripped? Someone in here explained to me while translating the the file, that I could make inline comments in the file by using “#”.
I have manually stripped the file from inline comments. It is here:
http://thomasdamgaard.dk/files/textpattern/da-dk.txt (charset=UTF-8)
I have not yet removed the comments from the file in SVN.

Remember to update the
#@version
line. Otherwise the textpattern admin page will say there’s an update to the language file. Cant we get it into the main textpattern SVN?

That would be really nice. However, I do not know who to contact in order to get it into the main textpattern repositories. I have previously(in this thread actually) expressed that I am interested in maintaining the Danish language file, but for some reason nobody responds.
I hope that someone will read this and do something. It is not a trivial task to translate a language file. And I think it is sad that only few people are able to use it, because it is not in the official repository. The current translation in the textpattern repository is hopelessly outdated and the translations are of embarrassing quality.
If some admin or developer reads this, please make sure that the people with the right influence gets this message.

Dear admin or developer
I would like some response on the issue with the Danish translation.
Please take a look at the post above.

Re: [Obsolete] Translating Textpattern to ...
Yeah, same problem here, no responses so far. I could also just keep my localizations private, but I don’t believe, that localization is a matter of privacy.
