Great, thank you. The file works with the current development version of SMW
as well, and I have now checked it into SVN.
There are two things that you may want to check/add:
(1) Since there is already Portuguese language in BetaWiki, your friend may
want to check that both translations agree (especially, core notions like
"property" do also appear in messages). I think there is no way to create our
non-message language files from BetaWiki; this is why we have this strange
setup where only 90% is translated online and you still need to send files to
me.
(2) With the new date support, SMW includes translations of month names within
its language file. They are not mandatory (English is always available), but
they are useful (maybe you can even exploit them in your historic date code).
The format is simple: two arrays for long and abbreviated names; German
example below:
protected $m_months = array("Januar", "Februar", "März", "April", "Mai",
"Juni", "Juli", "August", "September", "Oktober", "November", "Dezember");
protected $m_monthsshort = array("Jan", "Feb", "Mär", "Apr", "Mai", "Jun",
"Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Okt", "Nov", "Dez");
In addition, we have an array with preferences for writing dates, controlling
how ambiguous dates such as "10-11-12" are interpreted (the preferred order of
components). This looks as follows by default:
protected $m_dateformats = array(array(SMW_Y), array(SMW_MY,SMW_YM),
array(SMW_DMY,SMW_MDY,SMW_YMD,SMW_YDM));
These are the preferred interpretations for dates with 1, 2, and 3 components
(time is not relevant here). There is an array for each case, and the
constants define the obvious order (e.g. SMW_YDM means "first Year, then Day,
then Month"). Unlisted combinations will not be accepted at all. Let me know
if you would like to change this for Portuguese.
