Joomla! Discussion Forums

Hi all,

I am in the process of developing Kannada language pack. Once it is done I will need help to review or proof read it for;
Use of proper words in main content and headings,
-just to make sure the translation is done correctly.
- Any suggestions on language usage and style
- Overall review so that it comes out well
After successful integration and testing of the pack I will like to
submit the files to Joomla community forum.

Anybody willing to help in this matter?

Thanks,
Leena

I do not know kannada but I can sure help if you have any technical questions for me...ping me.

Can someone point me in the direction of tutorials or information on creating a language pack?

Thanks.

ignore this post... as i can't seem to delete it.  found a short tutorial from vish at:
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... #msg154068

ಈ project ಇನ್ನೂ ಸಹಾ ಇದೆಯಾ ಎಂದು ನನಗೆ ಸಂದೇಹ ಬರುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಮೇಲೆ post ಮಾಡಿದವರು ಮತ್ತೆ ಏನೂ ಬರೆದಿಲ್ಲ.

ನನಗೆ ಸಹಾ ಕನ್ನಡದೆಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು website ಮಾಡುವ ಹುಮ್ಮಸ್ಸಿದೆ, technical ability ಸಹಾ ಇದೆ. ಆದರೆ, ಕೆಲವು ಕನ್ನಡ ಪದಗಳನ್ನು ಅನುವಾದ ಮಾಡಲು ಸಹಾಯ ಬೇಕು. ಶುರು ಮಾಡಿದ್ದೇನೆ, ಆದರೆ, ಅದನ್ನು ಮುಗಿಸಲು ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಸಹಾಯ ಬೇಕು. ಯಾರಾದರೂ ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡಲು ಮುಂದಾದರೆ, ಇದನ್ನು ಬೇಗ ಮುಗಿಸಬಹುದು. ನಾನು ಮಾಡಿರುವ ಈ ಸೈಟ್ ಅನ್ನು ನೋಡಿ: http://kannada.dixith.com

English Translation (for moderators)

I am not sure if this project has taken off or not. Those who have posted above have not written anything again.

I am also interested in creating a website in Kannada (of course after creating a language pack). I have the technical ability too. But I need help from Kannadiga friends for translation. I can translate, but will certainly need help and we can finish sooner with help too. This is a site that I have started for this project - http://kannada.dixith.com

If members are willing to help, we can proceed soon towards project completion.

Best regards

Hi Shashikaran,

Yes, The Kannada language pack is ready. I was busy testing and integrating it, for my site...hence the delay.

I actually don't know what is the procedure to release the pack? Should I submit it here or is there separate site for language packs? Need to release Beta ver. first and once checked on all the other systems it can be used i guess.
Can moderators please guide me through this??

Thanks,
Leena

Hello Leena,

That's great. I can beta test it for you even before it is released, I will take a few days for it. Once it is done, we need to release it on extensions.joomla.org as a language pack, as version 1.0 (for Joomla 1.0.13)

Subsequently, with improvements, and also with revisions of Joomla, we will need to keep updating it. Adoption for Joomla 1.5 is also a necessity.

You can send me the pack for testing and I will get back to you ASAP.

Shashikiran

ok, sounds good.
How do I send the file over? can you fwd me your personal email ID?

Done

I have sent an email to your address.

Hi please Upload this Kannada Pack, or please send it to my email id please: Sri@Shreegandha.org

Hi,

I need help in uploading this language pack. As I am receiving many request for it.
can moderators please help. I have got it checked for correct Unicode ver.
Now what do I need to do inorder to upload this?
where do I upload it so that it will included in Joomla files.

Thnaks,
Leena

Which pack have you made? For joomla 1.0.x or joomla 1.5.7?

kannada_language pack
for joomla 1.0.x

I suggest you create an account on joomlaforge
http://joomlacode.org/gf/account/?action=UserAdd

Then create a project called "Kannada Language packs" (there is already a project called Kannada Translation, but it is apparently dead.)

When your project will be accepted, you may upload there your 1.0.15 pack and let it know in this topic as well as on Joomla Extension Directory.

Thanks a lot, will do it.
this certainly helps.

I have created acc. and added new project using: http://joomlacode.org/gf/account/?action=UserAdd
Project has been accepted now, I want to add language pack files (.zip format) but can not see upload option anywhere?
need help to know how to upload files to project?

Thanks,
Leena

Hi,

sorry pl. ignore my last message. Was able to add .zip file for project.

What is the url to the project?

I suggest you specify that the package is for Joomla 1.0.15 on one hand.
On the other hand, make sure the package is available for users to download by specifying the right parameters on joomlacode as I can't see it as of now.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions. I will update Joomla ver. there. actually it is for Joomla 1.0.12
I have tested it for that version. I am sure it will work with .15 as well. I will check it and update.
Files were not seen as I had not made it public. You should be able to see it now as I have checked option for "Public".


Thanks,
Leena
