Translating installation step

I'm gonna to provide completely a translated pack of Vanilla! It's need to be translated from beginning (from install step) -> How can I do it?

peregrine

grep -ri continue * | less

applications/dashboard/views/setup/configure.php:      <?php echo $this->Form->Button('Continue &rarr;'); ?>

x00 maybe with some guidance, you can add locale where the is none, and then submit a pull request to the core team and it will eventually get released.

perhaps!

I think you should re:pull request

Bump?

It' means when a non-english user starts to install Vanilla -> everything will be in its language and it's not need to activate the "locale pack" after installation process, because the "locale" is the default language of forum.

locale will be packed into vanilla by a non-english support forum for its users or maybe language supporting packages will be accessible from an extra page of vanillaforums.org :-)

modifying everything with a T in the install program so it is translatable and

 you could try putting these in the config.php, or possibly in default.config.php depending how you are implementing.

$Configuration['EnabledLocales']['yourlocalename'] = 'yourlocalename';
$Configuration['Garden']['Locale'] = 'yourlocalename';

x00

what is the context? are you making an a quick installer? You need to bundle with required folder, and programmatic set config.

You said you are not a programmer so I'm a bit puzzled why you would do this. Are you hoping to distribute vanilla?

I thought it @x00 said it

peregrine

I think she said so here:
http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/20081/documentation-how-set-a-non-english-language-when-vanilla-is-installing#Item_3

she wants to set it up for her language so people who don't know english can set it up in the language she is setting up - whatever that may be?

But that would mean they would be distributing modified vanilla software, i didnt think you could do that.
A plugin for their language and a language pack etc is all i think is permissable.

I couldn't find within which file "Continue" word is located?!

I found Vanilla lovely I'm gonna to translate it for my university forum. then releasing the locale as an addon.

Hummmmmmm?

Vanilla is licensed under GPL that means you(=everyone) have:

The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).

The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).

The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this. (Read more)

Well you can translate everything there. basically $this->Form->Label() is similar to using T()

So perhaps you could put your preliminary translations in conf/locale.php, before installing a fully fledged locale pack.

I know you are not a programmer, but maybe with some guidance, you can add locale where the is none, and then submit a pull request to the core team and it will eventually get released.

I doesn't make sense to bundle a fork just because it is missing the odd translation, as the copy will quickly become out of date.

x00

otherwise you could provide instruction on installing the locale pack without the dashboard.

or you could create your own stand-in installation form/script (which would obviously require some programming).

Sorry for bombarding you! An odd problem! Plz, see this picture, everything is working; but If I don't fill these tree fields: "AdminEmail+AdminUser+AdminPass", the installation page returns to the non-translated page to warn for empty fields -> (See here). but there isn't this problem with escaping from other fields -> for EX See this one -> you can see it has returned to the translated page keeping an error on top. As I said, for that three fields it goes to the basic page! What's the reason?

peregrine's tip is working.

Worked. How do you find it? before that comment, I searched *.php files, but nothing.

perhaps! I'll continue learning more and nibbling your knowledge of Vanilla! :-)

well did you use

grep -ri specify | less

    applications/dashboard/controllers/class.setupcontroller.php:         $ConfigurationModel->Validation->ApplyRule('
    Database.Name', 'Required', 'You must specify the name of the database in which you want to set up Vanilla.');
    applications/dashboard/controllers/class.setupcontroller.php:            $UserModel->Validation->ApplyRule('Name',
     'Required', T('You must specify an admin username.'));
    applications/dashboard/controllers/class.setupcontroller.php:            $UserModel->Validation->ApplyRule('Passwo
    rd', 'Required', T('You must specify an admin password.'));

I'll leave e-mail as a test for you.

 grep -ri email | less
or

grep -ri  required * | grep -ri email | less

for you :)

do you "like" this.
