Contributed modules?

zirvap commented 8 January 2008 at 19:23

Do you have any contributed modules installed, and have you translated the po-files for them?

Also, a few of the English strings can't be translated with po-files. For instance, under "Content types", you might find "Page" and "Story", with English descriptions. To translate these, you need to edit those content types.

how shud i change there

Changing translation of content types

zirvap commented 8 January 2008 at 21:25

In the navigation menu, choose administer > content types > story (I don't know what that is in Urdu, the URL to that page would be www.example.com/?q=admin/content/types/story) and administer > content types > page (www.example.com/?q=admin/content/types/page) and change the names and descriptions there.

Because of the "80% translated" message, I think there might be other problems as well. The handbook page Some strings do not translate might be helpful.

is it administer>content
