I'm moving this thread to the documentation and translation list. Its the list we use for all translation-related discussions.

We are extremely short on translators, but I for one am always for more translation projects. If we don't translate them, its unlikely anyone else will. If you want to host the project here though, you must be directly active in the translation. Its unlikely you will get hundreds of volunteers wanting to help. You also will have to maintain this translation peoject of course. > This is APC ActionApps is an Open Source online content management system > (CMS) for use by voluntary organizations and non-profits around the world. > To date, it's been translated into English, Spanish, Czech, Slovak, > Hungarian, Romanian, Japanese and German and now, inshallah, into Arabic. > > For more information, please see below email and attachment from ActionApps > programmer Honza Malik from E-Connect, Czech Republic. [...] We seem to have another problem. The files we (and by we I largely mean you :-) are supposed to translate are PHP files. We have a policy that translateable files residing on our CVS must be .po files. There are many reasons for this. Mostly its that having all the files in one format helps us with scripting and creating word lists and searching for terms quickly. Looking at one of the PHP files, I see they were generated with a gettext tool. Could it be possible that they used to be PO files before these PHPs were generated? If so, great. We can use the POs for translation. If not, we need to find a way to convert from PHP->PO and PO->PHP. I dont think such a script will be hard to put together. Abdulaziz,
