Samit is already working on the Marathi version of Joomla.
May be you can help me do Quality Assurance on it?
Once I have the files from Samit, you can read through the file and make sure that the spellings and grammer is OK...

Hi Vish

I would like to know what are the basic requirements for doing the translation apart from knowing the language. I was thinking about getting a group together for the Malayalam language

Hallo Hilu
Good to see someone willing to translate Joomla into Malayalam!! Good luck and I hope we can find more mallus comming forward for Joomla.

Well, As I have stated, the first step is to translate the language file into your language. I would recommned that start with english.php and start translating it. Let me know if you need my help.

hilu · **Posted:** Wed Aug 09, 2006 11:30 pm

Vish,
Tell me where to get the english.php file....
Regards

xtrance · **Posted:** Thu Aug 10, 2006 5:52 am

Although the question is for Vish, since I saw this post let me inform you. You will find it inside the folder languages once you download Joomla and unzip it.
But Vish, which Malayalam font set to be used? and how? Is it possible to change just the text inside ""in the php files in word and copy it back to notepad?

I would recommend that you find some GNU/GPL Malyalam font and use it

No one is working on Marathi. Samit offered to work on it and I have not seen any progress for last almost 1 year. So, if you want to start, you will be the ribbon cutter !!

Let me know if you need my help.

Congratulations ! WHat did you name her?
Yes, that is correct, start with the english.php, and just start converting the strings. The example that you have given looks good to me.

You want to make sure that you get the latest english.php

hilu · **Posted:** Wed Oct 11, 2006 4:46 pm

Thanks,
Her name is Amia meaning "delightful " in Sanskrit ( says so one site) and a form of "amiable" in English!!
I'm starting the work and will post you the developments. I'm keeping the common terms like css,html,pdf etc as such
Regards,
hilu

hey
We need to start working on the Joomla!1.5 Malayalam version. tooo

Vish, do you think it is too early to start on it ?

Vish · **Joined:** Mon Aug 22, 2005 5:43 pm **Posts:** 405

Sunil

Well, I know romit has worked on the bengali version of 1.5 but I do not plan to work on it until it goes final, but that my preference. Its upto you.

I would highly recommend though that you play with creating pdf in malayalam in 1.5, that is something that we know will be there and you can start working on that now...wihtout having to wait for anything.
