Important langauge files !!

[Master]

hey how are you guys ?  

i have this question :

why there aren't all language files provided for the latest version of tp
why the language manager didn't add the added strings to new versions to the last translated files for all languages then put those files as translations to the last version of tp ,
it would be more easier and comfortable for both who wants to translate the new files completely and for users who always come and ask why there isn't an translation for tp because they don't know that there is a translation for any tp version . i think this option would be better so please consider it

waiting for your answer .....

The language files we have are made by other regular members of this forum.
We dont have more languages made then members are willing to translate for us.
But if you think there should be more languages, feel free to help out where you can. Just download the english language pack from the language section and translate it to what language you know

no i mean for example there is an Arabic translation for tp 0.95 i think you could add the added strings for latest version to those files and make them ready to use for tp0.97 i only mean the old translated langauge files

The old language files are allready IN the download section. But WE from the team cant update them our selfs as we dont know the language.
The new strings are added to the english package with // TP V.097 so the few strings in the english language are pretty easy for the members to actually take out and then translate them and update the package them selfs.

So it's totally up to the members them self to pick out the few strings from the english package and add them into their older strings.

why do you need to know the langauges you just add the new strings at the end of the file

[G6Cad]

And why is it so difficult for you to take the few strings from the english package and add them into your own languagestrings when you have to translate them anyway ?

[Master]

not me i mean there are alot of users who ask me to translate this because they don't know how to do this or because they don't know that there is a previous translation for tp so they simply think that this isn't available here and they don't search enough

i just want to add all languages ( old languages files with new (English) strings) so when people search for them they will find them in last version of tp and if someone translated for his forum he would submitted the complete version of languages files

in my tp version i use the 0.95 language files cause there isn't available for 0.97 and there are some undefined errors in my error log but i really don't care cause they don't affect the tp version and  i am simply a user and i know that this is easy but there are a lot of new users who don't know that so it would be more easier to them if they found the languages files in last version of tp and may translate the files and submit them ( you could add like note that those languages files aren't complete so if there is someone interested in translation it you would be happy ) by this way you could get more reaction form other users

so what would be the result ?

[G6Cad]

The updates for the language files have to be done by them self as Bloc instructs in the language board.

You have to take the strings out and update the packages your self.
In the English file Bloc have marked whats new for the release and thats the part you take out and translate.
And you have to make that bit by your self.

i think you are missing the point of this topic

i am familiar with that but what about the new users
if bloc defined that way that doesn't mean that this is the best way
i am a user of tp and i simply give you feedback i hope you would benefit from it not just find excuses to make me wrong
(and this opinion is not my own only cause there are alot of users that don't know how these things work )

in smf when you go language section you will find for all language the last version files

so please consider that for tp and all tp users
