In response to a couple issues that came up: When translations go online (to the php.net mirrors): ------------
There isn't a true algorithm or formula to determine this, but the most negative factor is old content. For example, if a translation is 30% translated but most of that is critically old and outdated, then it won't be online. A fresh English file is preferred over an old translation. But let's say a translation is 20% translated but without critically old files, then it'd live online. Maybe we can come up with a simpler method but for now it follows a gut check, and is manually configured. However, languages that build (current or in the past) do show up on the doc mirror: - http://docs.php.net/download-docs.php?sizes=1 A proper and detailed translation specific HOWTO: ------------ I once started the process of rewriting it here: - http://wiki.php.net/doc/howto/translations But then realized I lack proper experience and translations knowledge to write it. Hopefully others (Alexey and Yago?) will add details and tips, and eventually we'll have a proper translation HOWTO. The main part we're missing is how to update files from extremely old to new. And how to restart and/or manage a translation, and keep it active. And a translations FAQ would be useful. Regards, Philip
