Multilang module localization center

Multilang module localization center

Why this task

Extract from Multilang inline help:

Because of its mission to integrate multiple languages in the same container, the Multilang module does not conform to the standard Drupal localization system: in this domain it is self-sufficient and embeds all of its own translations, written with the "multi" syntax.

In order to allow broadcasting translations of Multilang UI it is necessary to adopt an alternative method, and this issue is the way for that.
As a volunteer, you're welcome to participate to the localization extension by adding translation of your own.

How to participate

At this task's creation time here have been attached a couple of files:

• multilang-EN.txt
• multilang-FR.txt

These files contain respectively the English and French versions of the module's user interface texts.
(at the time you're reading this, other files may have already been added)

You may download which one you feel more easy for you to begin translating into your own language.
Then with this file you have to:

• replace each [xx] occurrence with [yy] (where "xx" is the original language code and "yy" your target language code)
• obviously replace original text with text translated into the target language
• rename your new translation file to multilang-YY-new.txt where "YY" is the target language code

Once done, you may attach your new translation to this issue.
Again, don't forget to add the -new pre-extension to your file: this will allow to check it out and inject your new translation into the real, multi-translations module's file.
Also it will be then renamed without the -new pre-extension, as another possible base for new translators.

For your own use

If you want, you may also immediately inject your translation into the multilang.data.inc file in your own installed Multilang instance: for a detailed description of how translations ared structured, look at the dedicated "Localization" chapter of the inline help.
If you have any uncertainties about how to achieve that, feel free to ask, adding a new comment to this issue.
