Re: nepali language pack
I agree with infograf768, Nepali / Hindi both use the same language. Having just one would be enough.

Re: nepali language pack
If Nepali and Hindi have differences, a new language pack should be made.
When I suggested to post in the Indic forum, it was because all the languages from that part of the world are dealt with there.

Re: nepali language pack
FYI, the original Swahili word from which Joomla was picked, is also spelled "Jumla" (in English).

Yes it will be now available asap. For the time being, you can have a look at the following website http://planetearthsolution.com/test/gafadi wrote:do joomla have nepali language pack ,, you mak say use that indian language pack which support neplai and other 7 language but it ddnt work for help me out

By the way, there is an interesting fact about the word joomla. In Nepal, we have a beautiful place called "Jumla".infograf768 wrote:FYI, the original Swahili word from which Joomla was picked, is also spelled "Jumla" (in English).
Both are really nice "Joomla" or "Jumla", isn't it?

@ Binod
Naming your Nepali language pack hoomla-np is a mistake.
It should be named ne-NP
See:

Re: nepali language pack
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll do the modification. Meanwhile, I would like to know if there are utilities which help editing the joomla language ini files in a little easier way.JanoV wrote:@ Binod

You're right. You can login with demo user provided on the website and see nepalization there. I admit, it's not complete. But it will be soon.binod wrote:thanks but seems you are really using just unicode as i used for http://www.nepalaawaz.com

At the very first beginning, we planned to work on frontend language for the default templates, components, plugins, and modules of a clean joomla 1.5.7 installation. As soon as it's completed, we will start the backend part. So far we've completed the translation of the all of the default components including:
- com_banners
com_contact
com_content
com_frontpage
com_mailto
com_media
com_messages
com_newsfeeds
com_poll
com_search
com_user
com_weblinks
com_wrapper
Lastly, infograf768 --> thanks.

Re: nepali language pack
I suggest to use the Translation Manager Component.
http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla_1_5_tr1/frs/
All work should be done locally, using the last version of the en-GB ini files.
This component has not been updated for long and shows some bugs on recent Joomla versions. I therefore suggest to use a 1.5.4 install to work on the ini files.
First change in your existing files all occurences of hoomla-np to ne-NP

Now, with the translation component, it's easy even on 1.5.7. I don't have 1.5.4 for the time being.

Re: nepali language pack
Hi,
We are making a serious effort to make the language as meaningful as possible. But there are some serious problems. It's really tough to translate into Nepali language because:
In English, a sentence has the following forms:
Subject + [Auxiliary Verb] + Various Forms of Verb + Object
But in Nepali, we have
Subject + Object + [Auxiliary Verb] + Various Form of Verb
In English, we have phrases like this
Owner + Preposition + Object
Eg.
Parent Window with Browser Navigation Options
Tea without sugar
But in Nepali we write
Object + Preposition + Owner
Like these,
"Browser Navigation owned by Parent Window"
"Sugar non possessing tea"
We don't have forms such as "Parent Window with Browser Navigation Options" in our language
Conclusion
Due to grammatical differences in English and Nepali, the core language ini file has been a tough cup of tea without sugar and milk!
And the conversion for this line is really challenging in Nepali Language if you want 100% grammatical accuracy ...
Any comment or suggestion will be grateful for us.

Anyone there to translate the above lines into example output text?Hello %s,\n\n\nA User submitted %s:\n [ %s ]\nhas been just submitted by User:\n [ %s ]\nfor %s.\n\n\n\nPlease go to %s/%s to view and approve this %s.

Re: nepali language pack
Yes, in general this is the case. But if we could switch these %s to the place we want, the translation would have been far more simpler and meaningful.binod wrote:same thing i went thru but my one cent , as i am nepali and there are many english word not translation available in nepal , its better you just write the "word" in nepali font "word" maybe that works
For example (please do not be specific, the %s here are hypothesized)
Ex 1.0
would generate something like:Hello %s,\n\n%s\nhas been just submitted by User:\n%s\n\n\nPlease go to %s/%s to view and approve this %s.
Hello Thomas,
'Test Article' has been just submitted by User:
'Thomas'
Please go to 'http://testserver.com/index.php?option=com_content.....'
to view and approve this 'Article'
But in Nepali, we need something like this to be more meaningful
Hello 'Thomas',
User 'Thomas' has submitted 'Test Article'.
For this 'Article' be viewed and approved, this 'link http://testserver.com/index.php?option=com_content.....' should be clicked.
and we would translate into something like this
Ex 1.1Hello %s,\n\%s has submitted %s\n\n\nFor this %s be viewed and approved, this link %s/%s should be clicked.
Let's get the final translation of Ex 1.0 here,
It would be generated into something like this:Hello %s,\n\%s has submitted %s\n\n\nFor this %s be viewed and approved, this link %s/%s should be clicked.
Hello Thomas,
'Test Article' has submitted 'Thomas'
For this 'http://testserver.com/index.php?option=com_content.....' be viewed and approved, this link 'Article' should be clicked.
Now this is not meaningful at all. Be it in English, would have been bad reading experience; but in Nepali, it'd be the worst.
We have completed the 99.9% of translation, but we're stuck on few things.
Anyone there with serious suggestions ?

Re: nepali language pack
This is something that has already been discussed among the Translation Teams and some improvements have been made in code since 1.5 release.
In fact, you can change the order of the variables in the ini file by using the code
text %2$s text %1$s text
where the number relates to the order of the variable in the original code.
The issue is that we have no comment in the ini file to state each time this occurs what are the order of the variables, thus forcing you to test live or search for the variables in the code itself.
A simple example:
in administrator/components/com_installer/models/install.php
line 92:
is variable 1 (Below it is "Module")
is variable 2 (Below it is "Success")
The string is in:
administrator/language/en-GB/en-GB.com_installer.ini
INSTALLEXT=Install %s %s
which gives in English when you install a module:
Install Module Success
If I change the string to:
INSTALLEXT=%2$s Install %1$s
I will get:
Success Install Module
Hope this helps.

Hi,
The frontend language pack was released a year ago. Please follow this url.

Please bear with me, our server is currently undergoing maintenance, you will not be able to download the extension until it's up and running.
