Geeklog folks,

I searched for a good web portal option, and I bumped into this site. I
really like Geeklog because it seems simple to setup and may allow Japanese
readers to contribute in Japanese.
 
Now the following in the Geeklog Configuration File gave me an impression
that it may not be too difficult to localize GeekLog in Japanese.

-------------------
Localization

Localizing GeekLog is fairly easy. All strings are contained in a language
file. The default file that ships with the tarball is english.php. People
interested in translating Geeklog to other languages are encouraged to join
the geeklog-translations mailing list. All important information concerning
translating Geeklog will be posted there.

-------------------

Here are my questions.

1. Does the latest Geeklog allow me to use Japanese as is or if I choose
Japanese language file that came with it?

2. Assuming that above is possible. Which files must be translated besides
english language file if I want to have Japanese menus?


I appreciate your help.

Kuni Harada

Hi,
You can use Japanese (in EUC-JP).

I think you can change the default language during setup.

If you have problem, let me know.

Bye

Actually, you can change the menu titles from within the Administrator interface. 
That is also true for any static pages or/and custom blocks that you maybe want to create.

as far it concerns the language file, you *must* translate the english.php that is located
in the language/ directory. You could also translate the static pages plugin form english
to japanese. Be sure, to use the Japanese ISO charset (ISO-2022-JP i think). I am not familiar with 
the charsets of your language, but i suggest you use the most formal one to do the job. 

If you want your users to read/write japanese you only need to translate english.php to japanese. If you are
short on time right now, you can only translate the menu of the users in english.php and not the administrating interface.
Make sure, you do not alter the literal string sings ( " ) in the language file for the geeklog will not work normally. 


Good luck,

MzOzD

Hi, 

You have Japanese translations with geeklog distribution.
You just change the locale to Japanese.

(The encoding is euc-jp)

bye.

A reader sent in some proposed changes to the Spanish language
translation for Geeklog. I'm not sure who's in charge of the Spanish
translation, but I thought these might be relevant.  I (fairly
obviously) have no idea if what he states is correct or not...

Dear Sir,

First of all, thanks for the site. Perhaps, the best OS X site on the 
net!! I'm registered as urcindalo.

Second, as a spaniard, may I suggest you a correction for some of the 
translated text?

* "Next" is not "pr?ximo" in your case, but "Siguiente".

* "Previous" should be "Anterior"

* When it says "N comentarios Env?o m?s reciente" it should read "N 
comentarios El ?ltimo es del..."

* "Preferencias de Noticias" should be "Preferencias de comentarios", 
as shown when you click on the link. Then, "Modo de visualizaci?n" 
should be "modo de presentaci?n". The translated options are 
"Seguidos",  "Seguidos con jerarqu?a", "No se muestran", "S?lo el 
primero"

* On the same link, "?Primero los m?s viejos o los m?s nuevos?" should 
be "?Primero los m?s antiguos o los m?s recientes?" (viejo and nuevo 
are only for material things). Translated options are "M?s recientes" 
and "M?s antiguos".

* "Limite por comentario" should be "L?mite por comentario" (note the 
accented ?). Then, "El valor por defecto es 100" should be "El valor 
por misi?n es 100". Finally, "Grabar la informaci?n" is as simple as 
"Guardar" ;-)

* When you click on the corrected "Guardar", it now reads: "Sus 
preferencias para Comentarios han sido grabadas con ?xito". But, 
instead it should read: "Sus preferencias para los comentarios se han 
guardado correctamente".

* "Enviar a un amigo" should be "Enviar a alguien".

* There a lot to be translated, yet. If you want, I can help you.

Again, thanks for a magnificient site,
