Hi to all
I like to start a new group to translate joomla 1.5 to east syriac language. Welcome to all whom like to participate in this work.
We shall be very glad to receive any advice about this pack.

Thanks
Pauls Dinkha

Hello Pauls,
Anything precise question you have after installing 1.5 final and the Translation Manager, please ask.

There are no 2 letters code for Syriac. Only a 3 letter code

syr

and you could use Lebanon as country code (or any other country where there are Syriac speakers)

language could therefore be
syr-LB

As there are no other language (except classic syriac) using  "sy"

we could I think safely use

sy-LB

as the name of the language for Joomla

What you think?

Thank you for your attention
East syriac is most spoken in Iraq especialy in north of iraq, at the same time we have many syriac schools in iraq. Also many lives now in other countries. In syria, lebanon and turkey is most spoken the classic syriac language.

It is better to syr-IR


Thanks
Pauls Dinka

Iraq country code is IQ, not IR ,which is Iran.
Other issue is that the Translation Manager does NOT work with a 3 letters language code.

We are now discussing the issue of 3 letters code for language naming convention.

Until further advice, please use

sy-IQ

Thanks for information.
I do some search to find encoding of syriiac language and i  found in http://www.ethnologue.com/14/show_language.asp?code=AII that Assyrian new-aramic a language of IRAQ.
SIL code: All
ISO 639-2: sem
Mr. Kiraz who put the syriac language in windows begining from windows 95/98, 2000/XP.
The last window Vista use sy (Syrien) which we write both classic and modern syriac.
It is OK if it works with sy-IQ

Thanks
Pauls

FYI, this is our reference concerning language and ISO code.

You do not have to have that line in your xml or ini files.
It refers to the SVN # when that file was last modified in Core.

Thanks
I will remove the line

You will be happy to learn that Igevans has updated his Translation Component to accept a 3 letters language code.
Therefore you may switch your packages to syr-IQ

We are also now working on releasing for 1.5.2 a new tcpdf library that will make RTL pdf.
AND, most of all, we have devised a way to get rid of the locale issue for any language, whatever the host. So, you will be able to get dates in Syriac language on a Syriac site.
It would still be Gregorian though but that could be customized with some coding ability.

Also this post may help you:

Thank you for these informations, i am now working with two letters with sy-IQ and it is OK.

Regard
Pauls Dinka

Pauls,
please try last nightly build (or SVN)
date as well as rtl tcpdf are now committed.

I have used svn 1.51. where i can find other versions of svn?
I am translating the language files in installation, site and administration but i have not done all work yet.

Thanks

SVN is here (nightlys are old. Looking into it.):
http://dev.joomla.org/content/view/17/60/#subversion

Little confusion. Do you mean that i must copy all language files in site, installation and administration of subvirsion developing site to my computer and translate them or i shall translate with my language in the subvirsion site? How about the files i have translated until now? Pleas explain little more in details.

Thanks
Pauls

Confusion indeed. SVN is used to keep up to date with current development.
SVN requires using tortoise or another app as easyeclipse.
This SVN concerns core files and has nothing to do with your own language files.
But the English language files are up to date in the latest SVN,

As many changes have been done in latest SVN (what will be 1.5.2), I suggest you work using it instead of 1.5.1

Install this nightly build (+ the language component, if you use it):
http://dev.joomla.org/nightly/joomla_1. ... ackage.zip
Just add your language packs in that install.

You will see that now you get a Gregorian Syriac date, grace to your language files.

Thanks for your help and informations. I going to work with last version.
Is it OK to be my locale: sy-IQ.utf8, sy-IQ.UTF-8, sy-IQ, syr-IQ, sy, syr, syriac,iraq

as was shown in amharic of your discription?

The locale are no more necessary with the current svn (i.e. for 1.5.2), but something should be present in the tag, like this:
sy_IQ.utf8, sy_IQ.UTF-8, sy_IQ, syr_IQ, syriac

As these locales are anyway no available on any server, they are just there as references for the future

Thanks for attention.

Uncertainity: Shall i put sy_IQ.utf8, sy_IQ.UTF-8, sy_IQ, syr_IQ, syriac between all tags in Admin, installation and site files ?

Thanks
Pauls

Hello, Pauls.
Yes you can, although only one of them is now necessary since 1.5.2 as anyway the locales are now independent from the server and months, days are taken from the main ini files.

Hi
I have test the East Syriac Pack and it works very good but i have problem with pdf font because it does not work correct. I have deleted all english fonts and put only the syiac tcpdf in the folder but i get the following:
TCPDF error: Could not include font definition file

regards
Pauls

Pauls, to test, you have to modify the site sy-SY.xml file to include the name of the pdf font:
<pdfFontName>syrcomadiabene</pdfFontName>

Hi
It doesn´t help, because it want to open it from my websit and that do error allso. You can to try it here:

http://www.nohadra.com/forum/index.php? ... t&Itemid=3

Works here, Pauls.

you have right JM it works from this attachment, but it does not work direct from joomla with my homepage. Do you know whats the reason? It would be pleasure to me to know that.

Test from my website:
http://www.nohadra.com/forum/index.php? ... t&Itemid=3

Hi again
I have found a fault when i wanted to use Extentions>install/uninstall. The following infomation was written:
500 - a faullt has happened
View not found [name, type, prefix]: Install,,installerView

Do you know where is this function to correct it and thank you.

Regards
Pauls

The fault is raised by libraries/joomla/application/component/controller.php

No problem here.
What are you trying to install or uninstall?
Do you have the same fault for every extension?

All procedures in Extentions works only i have problem with install/uninstall.
I wanted to test to install a template any way.
I have not worked/translated libraries. What function it calls to get this fault? Some thing is missing there in my package if you find it please tell me.

Thanks
Pauls

Pauls,
you may have a corruption somewhere.
Best is to override all the files with a clean SVN or 1.5.3 by ftp or CPanel (after saving any core files you may have modified)
