I have set up locale and the empty database. It seems to work but..... I have no idea how you are supposed to install the PO files (in my case french) in the database. I am sure this is my newbie ignorance, but I have looked through the Drupal site and posts, and the help instrucions in locale, and nowhere do I find instructions for doing this.
Can someone either point me to the place on drupal or elsewhere that would show me how to do this? or better yet give me an answer.
After testing Drupal locally for some time, I'm planning to use it in several projects. They all are German (or multilingual) Websites. Unfortunately, right now, I’m not really happy with the provided German translation:
Strings are translated in informal style, yet I need a formal version for my target group. Unfortunately, this is not easy to change, as many strings in the translation use this informal style (i.e. Lies mehr davon instead of the IMO more neutral Weiterlesen). To change that, I need to check every single string.
Caused by the modular architecture, some parts are translated, some aren’t. I’m afraid that such a kind of multilingual bastard won’t look very professional …
Terms are sometimes used inconsistently: Konfiguration, Optionen, Einstellungen are used as synonyms (they are, but I think one should settle for one term in an interface); some Terms from the original English version are translated (Gewicht (Weight), some aren’t (Throttle). The same goes for capitalization (which is already nasty in the original English version).
I started translating drupal to slovak languge. when it will be done? i have no idea. but i hope it will be soon (probably 6 month). :)
if you want help or ask something just go ahead and ask on this forum. I will try answer question as soon it will be possible.
DDEV is the official local development tool of Drupal. And like Drupal, DDEV depends on the support of the open source community.
