Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

So, I repost that here to have a cleaner topic  .

Hello,

I'm Anthony, 16 years old. I live in France, I participate in a local LUG called CLX (fr).
I have already translated open source softwares : in LaunchPad, Outgun's server list and maybe I have forgotten some others.

So, I have claimed the task for French translation.

First, I think that I have found some minor errors in this page : Minimum System Requirements :
- At the end of the first "stop" paragraph, there is not dot at the end of the sentence.
- "Apple Mac OSX" should be "Apple Mac OS X".

Here is the translation of the Minimum System Requirements page, I have done it with KompoZer, please let me know if it's OK and if I have translated all that was required.
I'll try to find someone to review it.

Do I have to translate the word "templates" or not ?

Thank you, I'm working on others pages.

Anthony,

By all means fix any grammar, I will ask about the word templates but you could also ask on the translation forum.

I can follow up on this one if needed. 

Welcome to Joomla! Anthony!

It looks like you are in good hands. If you have questions, do not hesitate to ask. When you have a moment, please read the post GHOP Contestants Please Read: Task Process Start to Finish. It might help you understand how we will work together to help you be successful with your task.

Good luck with the contest and thank you for your contributions to the Joomla! community,

Thank you for your welcome.

infograf768 is now my mentor.

Thanks to his help, here are the two pages I have already translated : Minimum System Requirements and Final Preparation p1

It looks BEAUTIFUL!



What is so cool is knowing how hard Humvee worked to document all of these facts and details needed to get Joomla! properly configured in many environments. And now, you are making his work available to French speaking people. 

Thanks for your contributions!

netantho -

How are you doing on your task? It would be great to hear a task update from you.

Thanks!

He is doing Ok, Amy, but he may have some issues with the deadline.
I asked him to post here his question.

As long as people are working and moving forward, I do not see any problem.

Thanks,
Amy

Thank you very much 


I'm now working on the Web Browser Installation pages, I'll make screenshots. Do you have to make screenshots with exactly the same width and height ?


Thank you.

There are some news today.

- Web Browser Installation
- Step 1 - Language Choice
- Step 2 - Pre-installation Check

Is it okay for the screenshots ?

Screenshots look great to me! 

Keep up the good work - thanks for your update and for working so hard for the Joomla! community!

Happy New Year,

All pages are translated but the 2 last pages need to be proofread by Infograf.
You can find all the pages here.

Sorry... have been busy with 1.5...
Will do. 

The task is completed, I hope this French install manual will help lots of people.

Thank you very much infograf for your help.
Thanks to you I improved my French, English, and generally speaking my translation skills.

Here is the pack of translations.

I'm posting it at Google Code.

Thanks you so very much for this important contribution to the Joomla! community! I marked your Google task closed, will mark this thread closed, as well. And, I will update your next claimed task.

I am so pleased you joined us! Look forward to watching as you create a website for a non-profit using Joomla!
