How to add new language to SIT

[ducnq]

Hello every body.

I'm new user with Sit. Now I want to translate SIT from English to Vietnam. But I don't see my language in the language option.

Any body can help me how to creat it.

Many thanks.

Hi there.

there are 2 wiki articles that can help you on the way of translation:

Translation Translate

but as you said, the Vietnamese language needs to be added to the pulldown menu.

if you open up the file lib/strings.inc.php (and not the one called string.inc.php as they are different)
you can locate near the bottom half, the following section starting with:

Code: Select all

// Language codes and language name in local language
// Aphabetical by language code
// This is the list of languages that SiT recognises, to configure which of
// these languages to use, make sure you have a file in your i18n dir and
// go to the sit configuration page
$i18n_codes = array(

All you need to do is add

Code: Select all

                    'vi-VN' => 'Vietnamese',

preferably after U, so it'll be

Code: Select all

                    'uk-UA' => 'Украї́нська мо́ва',
                    'vi-VN' => 'Vietnamese',

feel free to change Vietnamese to your native tongue please, my Vietnamese keyboard is broken so I can't spell it properly
(don't forget the comman "," at the end of the line)

Thanks Tomse so much.

After finish the translation, how to update my language for Sit community around the world.

[Tomse]

if you click on "How to submit translations" in the index here Translate, there's an email you can send the translation file to.

Then it'll be added to the next release.
if you can send the "Vietnamese" text in your native language this would be great, as it'll then be added to the pulldown menu.

thanks alot for helping out with the translations

cheers

Hi Tomse.

I meet another problem that is font display.

As you know that Vietnamese use unicode typing.

Sample when I type "Lỗi đã được khắc phục" the system display "L?i ?ã ???c kh?c ph?c."

Can you show me how to fix this problem. My technical tried to change font in PHP file, but maybe it need to change in database more.

Thanks so much.

[Tomse]

thats a little more tricky it seems.

can you see if this helps?
http://sitracker.org/wiki/Fonts_plugin

it's a plugin and needs to be installed as a plugin.

otherwise we might need to find a free vietnamese font somewhere.

Hi Tomse.

I have another error. When I translate then save, the system notice :

Error: PHP Error: set 'max_input_vars = 5000' or more in php.ini

So I can not to save. Can you help me solve this project.

[Tomse]

yes, you edit your php.ini file
find the line that says

Code: Select all

max_input_vars

if it doesn't exist, just create it.

edit the line so it says

Code: Select all

max_input_vars = 5000

you can also set it to 10000


cheers
