Hi,
now that there is an online translation server, should we drop the
notion of an official translator per language?
I know that translation can be restricted per language on the
translation server, but it is done in practice?

Hi all
as some of you might already noticed, phpMyAdmin is going to use
Gettext for translations. Currently this is being prepared in separate
branch, but it should be already in good shape to get some testing and
feedback before merge to master branch later (end of this week or next
week). All existing translations should be migrated to new system
without losing anything, so in case you spot something is missing,
please let me know.
If you want to know more about new workflow, you can find some details
on the wiki page:
http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/Devel:Gettext_for_translators
If you just want to start with translation, you can do so at
https://l10n.cihar.com/
Please let me know if there is something broken so that it can be fixed.

If you have limited time for your translation effort, please start with
the messages that are most visible from the interface.
Thanks for your cooperation,

"Best Tool or Utility for Developers". This is great news but it's up to
all users to vote for us (you have until July 20 but hey -- now is the
perfect time to vote!).

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.

Dear translators
I've just set up system for translating documentation using gettext, so
you have another great opportunity to bring phpMyAdmin closer to non
English speaking audience.
The translation is done using po4a and gettext, what makes it more
standard and probably also easier than translating phpMyAdmin itself.
The easiest way to start translating is to go to
<https://l10n.cihar.com/projects/pmadoc/>, login and translate.
If you prefer more control, you can get po file (either by svn co
https://phpmyadmin.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/phpmyadmin/trunk/localized_d…
or by finding it online at
http://phpmyadmin.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/phpmyadmin/trunk/localized_doc…)
and send us updates.
I added all languages which have reasonable amount of translation
and/or recent activity in phpMyAdmin. If your language is missing feel
free to ask me to add one, but consider first translating phpMyAdmin
itself.
