Call for help: Yii Internationalization

GoofyX · April 26, 2009, 8:16am

I understand everyone's will to help with the i18n effort. However and because I have contributed to other FOSS projects, translating once and committing the translations is just not enough. The initial translation is the first step. You must be sure that you will keep the translations updated as new releases of Yii come out. Since Yii includes many contributed languages, the persons that helped in translating must at least be sure to spare some time in maintaining the translations.

I guess you have enough Chinese translators. If you still need one, I am a ready candidate.

Hi Qiang,

I would like to translate about "1.0.x Class Reference" also.

Is there the method to perform it?

Or are you enabled in the future?

qiang · May 15, 2009, 12:51am

We do not have plan to translate class reference for now. It is much more difficult and involves tremendous effort.

Dear Yii folks,

We are calling for your help to translate various components of Yii into the languages listed below. Since this requires tremendous long-term effort from our community, we created a new Google project named <a href=‘http://code.google.com/p/yiidoc/’ class=‘bbc_url’ title=‘External link’ rel=‘nofollow’>yiidoc</a> to manage the process.

If you are willing to participate, please PM me with your gmail account, the language to you want to translate, and the component(s) that you want to work on. Currently we have the following components to be translated:

core framework messages

system view files

requirement checker view files and messages

the Definitive Guide to Yii

the Yii blog tutorial

Hello,

Has anybody looked at how the Cake dudes are doing their documentation/translation?

http://book.cakephp.org/

They actually wrote an engine (about 2 years ago) which handles all the pages and languages. If the translation is out-dated, the translated page or paragraph will get a [color="#FF0000"]WARNING[/color] message, seen by everybody that something has changed in the original copy of the document, so be aware.

I think we’d need something like this because the popularity of Yii is growing bigger and bigger every day

Just an idea. Thoughts?

pestaa · August 21, 2009, 2:46pm

That’d be a great enhancement, Imre!

In addition, I’d mark each documentation page as to which framework version they are suitable for.

So foreigners won’t give up when they see outdated docs only because they believe it’s invalid. (They could be directed to the changelog to see the differences, though.)

komodo · March 13, 2010, 4:45pm

Hi Qiang

I have send you a PM with my Gmail account some days ago. Could you please set me up for danish translation, when you get the time? No stress - just wanted to notice you in case you do not read your PM’s

Cheers…
