Multi-language support in GUI 4.0

Hi Guys,

Since some time we were discussing a multi-language support in GUI 4.0.
From time to time I hear that different people are translating the GUI 3.0 or GUI 4.0 in their local languages. I have already translation strings in French.
I've heard people translating in German and just understood for other guys translating in Polish.

I feel that those people can join their efforts to a multi-language version of GUI 4.0.

So if somebody is interetsed in this here we can discuss.

Thanks
Dimitar

Re: Multi-language support in GUI 4.0

Hi Guys

we have just completed the migration of all English strings to js/language.js if you wish to aid in the translation efforts all you have to do is edit the language.js file and alter the text strings like so:

Code:


Current english string

lang['welcome'].en[12] = "Extension";

German translation

lang['welcome'].gr[12] = "Verlängerung";

then by changing the 'GUIlanguage: "en"' to 'GUIlanguage: "gr"' in index.html the GUI 4.0 will reflect the German language strings (we will make this more dynamic in the next few builds).

To make sure we don't have multiple people translating the same language please PM myself or admin if you wish to help!

ps: sorry if my translation is wrong for the above example, its was done using google!!

Thanks
Jason

Re: Multi-language support in GUI 4.0

Hi Guys
I propose:
1. String groupe to language

Code:


var lang = new Object;

    lang.en = new Object;

    

    lang.en['backup']= new Array;  //backup.html

    lang.en['backup'][0] = "File Upload in progress, please wait ..";

    lang.en['backup'][1] = "Backup File Uploaded";

    lang.en['backup'][2] = "Backup File Uploaded !!";

2. Only English strings create in js/language.js
Other language place in json-files in /locale/fr/language.json, /locale/ru/language.json
And download if request

Code:


var language = ASTGUI.loadHTML('./cgi-bin/gui_language.cgi').trim();



if (language == "fr" || language == "ru") {

    var lang_json = ASTGUI.loadHTML('./locale/' + language + '/language.json');

    var lang_obj = JSON.parse(lang_json);

    lang[language] = JSON.parse(lang_json);

I made change. If you agree, I will commit to svn

Re: Multi-language support in GUI 4.0

Hi fant

Sounds good, i was thinking of splitting the language files up anyway to speed up load times.

for this line `if (language == "fr" || language == "ru")`
i would just say `if (language != "en")` that way you dont have to worry about adding new languages to the if.

let me know when you have committed so i can have a play.

Thanks
Jason
