Joomla 1.5 Language Files Manager Component
This is a component I wrote to help me translate the Joomla! language files. Also a first attempt at an admin component for J1.5.
It will automatically create required language files against a reference language (en-GB by default), show progress for each file and translation/fileset; publish/unpublish files; checkin/checkout files; do a global search for language strings; translate quotes to backticks; etc.
I found it to be useful, maybe it will help others too. Thought I'd post it here first, since it probably still has a few bugs, so I'm calling it version 1.0 beta. Anyone wants to try it out and tell me of any issues, that would be great.

Re: Joomla 1.5 Language Files Manager Component
Hi igevans,
Sounds interesting. Just tested on a clean install of Joomla! 1.5 beta, and the component installed fine but returns an error when clicking the newly created component menu 'Translation Manager'

Re: Joomla 1.5 Language Files Manager Component
Great. This look really worth while we wait for the Official Translation Component.
Did not find out yet how to create from the existing english folders and ini files a new language altogether
For the moment it looks like it may update files.
Could you explain?
@ot2sen: I do have this error here on last SVN

Now default english language files show up fine and can be edited. (noticed a IE7 problem for adding new)
Can´t figure out either how to create new language from reference language files.
Lets hear more igevans

Re: Joomla 1.5 Language Files Manager Component
JHTMLSelect is a new class from about 2 weeks ago which replaces the previous select builder - I'm currently using a nightly build (5781 2006-11-15).
The component doesn't create a full new installation set, but it will create the individual files. You need to create the directories and the XML files (admin and site) for a new language set, and from then on it will create the individual language files automatically, based on the file list in the reference language directory. This also works as you add new extensions, as long as they create a file in the reference language directory.
Shouldn't be too difficult to create directories and xml files - will work on it over the weekend.
It handles publishing/unpublishing by renaming the files (prefixing them with 'xx.' so that they are not recognised by Joomla!). You cannot unpublish the reference language files.

Re: Joomla 1.5 Language Files Manager Component
The javascript error was because IE won't allow setting of innerHTML on a table row object. Have corrected this and will upload over weekend after a few other improvements.

Re: Joomla 1.5 Language Files Manager Component
Have been testing and it is going along fine.
Some oddities/suggestions:
The "New" feature is supposed to create a new xml file starting from the Site or Admin Client radio button chosen.
But
1. it does not create the new folder if not present
2. the iso tag field is not writable and this is important as it is the base for new folder and language creation
Installation languages are not presented in the Manager.

Re: Joomla 1.5 Language Files Manager Component
Latest version of the Translation Manager has now been uploaded to a new project on sourceforge:
http://forge.joomla.org/sf/frs/do/viewR ... ersion_1_5
Tested with the latest nightly build [6355].
Handles site, admin and installation files (but needs directory rights).
Creates and deletes new languages (XML files and folders).
Create, delete, publish, unpublish, checkin, checkout of language files (INI files).
Shows translation progress against reference language (very handy with the regular changes to nightly builds).
Shows translation progress for entire language sets.
Search all the files in a language set for phrase(s) with customisable CSS highlighting of matches.
Customisable "AutoCorrect" of text entry (handy for unusual characters/diacritics).
Customisable change of single-quotes to backticks.
Customisable global replace of a key=phrase combination (handy when the same combo is in many language files).
Thanks for the comments over the last couple of months. Haven't really got the hang of sourceforge, so would welcome comments/bugs in the forum for the time being.
Hope someone finds it useful - it's been a good way of getting to know Joomla 1.5 for me.

Looking further, I found some older ini files (from August) in my French admin (obsolete files btw), which Manager Component did not trace and display in the files view while counting them in Language view
See picture below

Re: Joomla 1.5 Language Files Manager Component
Sorry, still getting to grips with forge.
site-admin-installation filter should be quite easy, and will add this.
Can you tell me what's happened to overlib / can you point me at a new implementation for tooltips?
Thanks

OK, this was because it just used the reference language directory as a master list. I've changed this so that it scans both directories and builds a "composite" file list.infograf768 wrote: Number of file oddity still here.

Re: Joomla 1.5 Language Files Manager Component
As JM knows i had started 1 1/2 years ago which the official language editor, due to the heavy changes of the API all the time i stop the further developing, latest SVN (if you can't see it i have it also attached as file) here:
http://forge.joomla.org/integration/vie ... m=exsy1002
JM has followed in the past the progress as he also did here (good work JM). I did a look to your current work and was impressed what you have done.
It doesn't makes sense to me to start again the developing of the langeditor so it would be more efficent to bundle the force and support you with helping coding and also to show you what maybe is missing or to modified the code to fit with the new API and the MVC structure, the end result i would propose to release as the Offical Langeditor with full credits for you
What do you mean? I guess JM is also seeing the positives on doing us together insteed of working seperated on the some stuff.
If you like to dicuss this with me my Skypename is PredatorJoomla

Re: Joomla 1.5 Language Files Manager Component
@predator & igevans
I guess masterchief, to whom I shown this component, totally agrees on this too.
If igevans agrees, that would be our best bet and I am ready to advertise this component right now to our Translation workgroup as a whole.
@igevans
What we may need, I guess, is some more tooltips for the "Extra" of the style "These are not present in the reference language, untick to delete when saving file", or something. Maybe also somewhere an explanation for newbies about the green and the red bars, maybe as a legend on top of the file, in the "Details" part.
Also, one has to check what should be the copyright per default (OSM has to be there somewhere as default, non-editable) and see if we use or not some lines in the xml headers concerning Creative Commons or FDL for Translators (debate still on as far as I know)

Re: Joomla 1.5 Language Files Manager Component
I've got no problem with sharing this, but I wouldn't know where to start in running or co-ordinating a project, and have never used SVN, so maybe someone else should take the lead from here?
OVERLIB:
The main overlib script file is no longer included by JCommonHTML::loadOverlib() - it now only jimports "joomla.html.tooltips". On build 6474 I can replicate the missing overlib in the Administrator Content-Article Manager screen, where there used to be a popup in the Published column. Other components now appear to use a different functionality using class and title...
LEGEND:
Yes, a legend would be a good idea, also on the file list view to show the different status symbols.
COPYRIGHT:
Would OSM have copyright on a translation file for a 3rd-party component/plugin? - changing the default is easy, but do you mean non-editable default or non-editable in the files?

OVERLIB:
The main overlib script file is no longer included by JCommonHTML::loadOverlib() - it now only jimports "joomla.html.tooltips". On build 6474 I can replicate the missing overlib in the Administrator Content-Article Manager screen, where there used to be a popup in the Published column. Other components now appear to use a different functionality using class and title...
LEGEND:
Yes, a legend would be a good idea, also on the file list view to show the different status symbols.

The "Humor, Fun and Games" forum has more than 2500 Posts, so why not build a "Humor, Fun and Games Working" Group?
.....
Malicious tongues say we have this WG right from the start, they call it core team

Re: Joomla 1.5 Language Files Manager Component
No, you are right. Maybe the easiest would be to have the OSM copyright automatically showing in the field and could be changed at will when 3rd party extension would be concerned.igevans wrote: COPYRIGHT:

Re: Joomla 1.5 Language Files Manager Component
With a tooltip and a link to the translation policy?Maybe the easiest would be to have the OSM copyright automatically showing in the field and could be changed at will when 3rd party extension would be concerned.
PS: the option to import or create new language from extensions/language manager would be great. If you wan to import a language, then , the installer is used; if you want to use a new language, then the extension would duplicate the english (or the selected language), like Drupal does. Got it! It was from components/translation manager/new and then files. Really nice work!

Re: Joomla 1.5 Language Files Manager Component
Hello all,
Been working on a few things suggested by JM (file count, client choices, key/legend), and also a first attempt at an MVC structure (actually concentrates on a Controller and Views which can be templated). There are surely a few things which need tidying up, and not sure I have quite got the MVC concept (is there a guide somewhere online?) so before I post to forge I thought I'd post an interim zipfile of the component directory here for comment.

You need to update fftranslation.xml.

Re: Joomla 1.5 Language Files Manager Component
For the moment
1. the View Files icon not working. Clicking on the figure in the column works.
2. When language debugging is on in Global Config, xml column icons and Files number show the ?? ?? as if these strings had to be translated.
