Hi Michal, e.a.
I have no idea how you expected this message to reach me, but as some kind
of miracle I stubled into a forum that has a copy of the message.
At translatewiki.net[2] we use the MediaWiki extension Translate[3] to
facilitate the translation process. We import from and export to native
product files. For this we have file format support components[4]. As far as
I could assess, we have no problem supporting phpMyAdmin's current source
format, although I have no tested yet. Output files for languages other than
English will be clean (stripped of all comments). Links to some examples of
supported file formats and results below my signature.
We are currently seeking to connect with succesful FOSS developer
communities which will allow us to grow our user base, and allow newly
supported products to get more localisations actively maintained. We commit
early and often. Quantity and quality of the localisations will rise as time
progresses - users can contribute a spell fix, one translation, or
continuously maintain a localisation. We Assume Good Faith: anyone can edit
after requesting translator access until it is clear he cannot, in which
case we have tried to mentor, teach, correct, etc. As more users work on a
product in a language, the quality of the translations improves, because of
review, but also because people that are using a product in their own
language suggest improvements. We encourage partnering developer communities
to encourage their current translators (that often submit patches that have
to be applied, etc), to start working at translatewiki.net.
More information on what we do and how from a translator perspective and
from a supported product developer community perspective is available.
Please feel free to come look around and ask questions on-wiki.
>From our perspective it is important to get an idea if phpMyAdmin and
translatewiki.net working together is something that has a chance. If so, I
would like to go into more detail with one or a few of you, so we can work
out the details and seek wide consensus again.
Cheers! Siebrand

Hi
you wrote me on wiki [1] about using translatewiki.net for phpMyAdmin
translations. We currently have PHP file for each translation and
translators handling them. How complicated would be to include
phpMyAdmin in traslatewiki.net and how do you merge translations back?

Hi all
This topic has been already open several times, but now we got offer to
use translatewiki.net for translating phpMyAdmin. As you are the ones
who do most of work on our translations, I ask about your opinion on
this topic. Are you interested in having web based interface for
translating?
Currently we use simple PHP files with strings to localize [*] and this
probably won't change in near future and translatewiki.net seems to
already support similar ways of localizing PHP applications.
Now the question is whether to invest effort into this direction. Web
based interface definitely lowers barrier for translating, but nobody
is really responsible there and you may end up with poor quality. What
is better, no translation, or not perfect translation?
[*] I'd really prefer to migrate to gettext based solution for
phpMyAdmin, but this seems unlikely, mostly because gettext as
integrated in PHP is quite painful. Once you load translation, it is
kept opened and any changes in the file lead to segfault and any
replacing of the file is deleted. So the only way to make it see
updated translation is to restart PHP (or Apache if you use mod_php).
PS: Please discuss on phpmyadmin-translators(a)lists.sf.net not on -devel
mailing list, so that all translators can see the discussion, initial
post is on -devel just to notify developers who are not subscribed here.

Hi,
I'm pinging the list because I'm not sure what's best. I admit I removed
the big T to promote the new display options but at least one person
misses it (plus me, sometimes):
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2724755&group_id=23067&ati…
Now I realize that this feature is probably used more often than the
other features in the Options slider and would agree to put it back for
3.3. Comments?

Hi,
if part of the discussion happens in the phpmyadmin-devel list, part in
private mails and part in blog replies, it's difficult for everyone to
follow. In the student guide
http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/GSoC_2009_Student_Guide we did mention
that discussion should be done in the devel mailing list and I encourage
everyone to do it there.

I am trying to install phpmyadmin on windows server 2008. PHP is installed
properly, PHP is configured properly in IIS7 but when i try to run index.php
from the phpmyadmin directory i get the following error:
PHP Warning: require_once(./libraries/common.inc.php) [<a
href='function.require-once'>function.require-once</a>]: failed to
open stream: Permission denied in
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\phpmyadmin\index.php on line 34
PHP Fatal error: require_once() [<a
href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required

Can someone please help me? Thanks
Welcome to the first release candidate for phpMyAdmin 3.2.0. This
version contains a number of small new features and some bug fixes.
Details will appear on http://phpmyadmin.net. In a hurry? you can visit
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin to download.
Marc Delisle, for the team
Hi,
My new email is marcÂ(a)infomarc.info. The other one
(Marc.Delisle(a)cegepsherbrooke.qc.ca) is still valid but I prefer to
reserve it for work purposes, so please use the new one for phpMyAdmin
matters, thanks.
