Australian English Translation
August 05, 2007, 04:14:10 am
Hi,

Is it possible to request the start of an Australian English translation?  Before you all start laughing your heads off yes Australians speak English.

However since the translation files are also localised to include concepts such as State and Postcode the en_GB variant doesn't work down under.  Nor does the en_US variant work because we don't have Zip Codes and counties.

If you can start a en_AU variant a good start point would the en_GB translation.  I would be happy to finish it off, once it is en_AU.

Yours,

Dave McLachlan

Hi lobo,

Thanks. 

I should have mentioned that I had had a look at the http://translations.civicrm.org site but there was no option for requesting the start of another translation thread, hence the request via this forum.

Cheers,

Dave McLachlan.

I added the en_AU PO/MO files to our repository and added Australian English to translations.civicrm.org; I based them on the en_GB files. :)
