    First you might want to contribute to that project

    http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/20639/attention-translators-you-can-now-help-translate-vanilla-online/p1

    Second add it to /locales folder, then go

    /settings/locales

    then enable it.

    then set "Default Locale" then save.

    grep is your friend.

    Thanks for reply.
    But the main problem that even if if I can do , it doesn't work.

    There are 3 different resource

    Archive- no need
    Core
    Dashboard

    Here is announcement about it.

    • site_core contains the text for the site. If you just want to translate the public portion of the site then translate this resource.
    • dash_core contains the text for the dashboard. Translate this file if you need everything translated.

    It is very clean explanation but how it will be added?
    For example, in order to translate just frontend should we added it like this?

    /locales/turkish/definitions.php

    and afterthat enable it ?

    I did it but now I got some errors :)

    Now website is not work :)

    I really need a clear explanation...

    you have a wider issue than just locale.

    IsWritable should be in library/core/functions.general.php

    what version of vanilla do you have?

    grep is your friend.

  • magrufmagruf New

    I have just installed 2.0.18 for test.

  • x00x00 MVP

    well that function exist in 2.0.18

    are you sure you copied all the files across, and set up permissions correctly?

    grep is your friend.

  • x00x00 MVP

    I presume you mean 2.0.18.8?

    grep is your friend.

    Edit: What permission you mean?

    No problem on permissions, they are 0755

  • x00x00 MVP

    you have a file

    library/core/functions.general.php

    grep is your friend.

  • magrufmagruf New

    Yes, but its perm. was 0644, I changed it 0755. Now it is ok?

  • x00x00 MVP

    does it contain IsWritable?

    grep is your friend.

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function Iswritable() in /home/zaheknet/public_html/v3/library/core/class.filesystem.php on line 271

    Edit: Sorry it can be my foult. Let me try again.
    Edit1: No same :(

  • x00x00 MVP

    hmm I can't try it right now but will get back to it. If anyone would like to check 2.0.18.8 , give it a shot.

    grep is your friend.

    @magruf,

    Perhaps you are going about it wrong.

    1) download the transiflex here.

    http://vanillaforums.org/get/vf_tr_tr-locale-2012.10.23p1110

    2) extract the zip file.

    3) copy the folder to locales

    e.g.

    locales/vf_tr_TR

    NOT locale/turkish

    4) enable the plugin

    5) click visit site

    6) go back to dashboard and choose default locale tr-TR

    worked perfectly for me and got it going in 2 minutes on vanilla 2.0.18.8

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

  • magrufmagruf New

    I really do not understand what is wrong.
    I installed new Vanilla and done as you said above step by step but result is this.

    http://www.zahek.net/vtest/

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function Iswritable() in /home/zaheknet/public_html/vtest/library/core/class.filesystem.php on line 271
