Drupal translation made easy

By killes@www.drop.org on

One of the many new features of the upcoming Drupal 4.5.0 release is an improved localization system (locale.module). It provides an easy-to-use interface to upload translated strings into Drupal's user interface using the popular GNU gettext PO format. This will enable users to share their translations and distribute the effort of translating Drupal.

Information on what PO files are and how to use them is provided in the newly created Translator's guide section of the Drupal handbook.

Support on IRC

By al on

We're seeing increasingly many people turn up on the Drupal development IRC channel asking questions. Forums and/or e-mail are often ill-suited to walking people through issues, and live chat can be useful, so in an effort to make the Drupal community more live and accessible, I'm proposing we create an IRC support channel.

Join #drupal-support on the FreeNode IRC network (irc.freenode.net).

All are welcome, particularly if you can answer questions rather than merely asking them. :)

Developers: tag your themes and modules

By dries on

This announcement is aimed at developers. Please take note that we have set up the DRUPAL-4-5 branch name. If you maintain a theme or module in the contributions repository, now is the time to make it compatible with Drupal 4.5. All 4.5 versions should be branched using the DRUPAL-4-5 branch name. Instructions about our CVS policy and about how to branch are available in the FAQ.

Wanted: The Great Minds of Drupal

By mtippett on

We are recent converts to the Drupal movement but we’re interested in testing the limits of the platform. Based on what we’ve read we think Drupal has tremendous potential but we need people to help us realize it. We are currently looking for a small number of highly skilled Drupal developers to help us build what we believe will be the largest and most advanced Drupal site around.

If you’re interested in learning more, here are some more details about our organization and our goals.
