Header in eventlist does not translate
February 09, 2011, 10:29:17 am
Hi,

I am working with Dutch translation.
When I list events on the front end, the title 'Current and Upcoming Events' does not translate.
I changed to French translation and the same happens, no translation.
I looked up the string 'Current and Upcoming Events' in the translex database and it does not appear.
I have looked for a profile used by list events, but cannot find one.

Any idea? Do I miss something?

Thanks for supporting.
Paul

I am now so far that I understood that the form is called by Icalendar.tpl.
The header 'Current and Upcoming Events' of this template is not part of the translations.

Any idea how we can put this title in the translation list?

Thanks,
Paul

A solution is to use 'replace words' in administrate/option groups

So how are templates handled generally? If a user installs CiviCRM they will get a lot of templates (and option lists and other stuff) in English. Are they supposed to go through every one of them and replace the texts?

Hello thoni56,

Civicrm is translated in several languages.

Check out: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC33/CiviCRM+Localisation.

These translations are very well done. Nevertheless, some words are not translated for one reason or the other. In order to resolve this, it is possible to use the method specified above.

best regards,
Paul

Thanks, Paul. I knew that. Especially since I'm one of the translators...

My question was rather "Is there a thought out strategy for how templates are supposed to be handled when an administrator installs a new language in his CiviCRM installation?"

There are a few possible answers to this question:

1) no
2) they must be duplicated and translated by hand by the administrator for each installation separately
3) they are supposed to be translated by the localization team, but so far we have no mechanism for distributing additional templates
4) ...

Best would be to have them translated by the localization team, so the job is done only once.

But: it's up to the creator/administrator to define what should be translated and thus what the variable words are. At least he/she should provide a list with possible words to be translated.

I guess most of the developers work like that. And if they miss some words, than the civicrm solution 'replace words' is a nice work around.

The answer is a bit of mix between 2 and 3 above. If the default templates have some strings wrapped in {ts}, then these strings will make their way to the PO files and then the language-specific sql/*_xx_YY.mysql database seed files will sport the localised versions for everyone.

The answer of how this should be ideally handled depends on how often a given template gets customised – if most install use the default template, then ideally we would have a template distribution mechanism and ask the translators to provide localised versions of the default templates. If, on the other hand, the templates get customised often, then it makes more sense to go with the current route of {ts}-tagging the common parts of the templates.

Thoughts?
