French lang Pack utf8 for V.1.4

jojaba · 2009-12-05 14:03:25

Hello
I posted yesterday this message : http://fluxbb.org/forums/post/26690/#p26690
Well, it took longer to update it than to convert all packs !
Anyway, here's the French lang Pack I propose : French lang Pack UTF-8 encoded (made some correction on old pack and added the new strings)
A proofreading would be welcome (I tried to register to the French community site but it doesn't work...) !

Here's the last package available:

French Language Pack for v. 1.4-RC1 version 1479 [2010/03/05]

I sent you a mail about that

I would like to update this french translation for 1.4-RC1. I began but there still some strings that are not displayed when using this update (mainly in profile administration). I saw that some lines were deleted and others added, I guess other stuff changed... Is there a way to compare using Trac (I'm not familiar of this application) the english language pack of beta2 version with the RC1 version ?

Reines · 2010-01-08 18:59:03

Yup, this should be what you're after I think: http://fluxbb.org/trac/changeset?old_pa … ng/English

It seems in some cases the only changes are related to whitespace, so there isn't as many changes as it first looks

Great ! Thanks a lot. (can I generate this type of diffs by myself, or is this feature only available for developper ?)
Indeed, not many changes.
Main changes : "E-mail" replaced by "Email", "e-mail" replaced by "email" in the left elements in several files (profile.php, prof_reg.php, ...) and in common.php the "// Stuff for include/parser.php" has been completely changed. This informations should be interesting for other translators !

Finally, here's the updated Package : FR language Pack for FluxBB 1.4-RC1 (*.ZIP file, 20 kb)
Voici le paquetage mis à jour : Paquetage FR pour FluxBB 1.4-RC1 (fichier *.ZIP, 20 kio)

You can generate it yourself here, just enter the 2 paths you wish to compare and the revision numbers to compare (you can leave blank to use the default, i.e. the latest revision).

For example, to generate the one above put From as "/fluxbb/tags/fluxbb-1.4-beta2/upload/lang/English" and To as "/fluxbb/tags/fluxbb-1.4-rc1/upload/lang/English" then leave the revisions blank. You can use the "Browse source" link to find the correct path to use, if you need.

Just looked at it, nice but there's a lot of typographic issues. Single straight quotes instead of apostrophes, most spaces before double punctuation are regular space instead of non-breaking ones, entities instead of glyphs, these are the most visible.

There's also the recurrent topic of using Courriel instead of Email.

I can pitch in, but I would need to get the latest revision and get it frozen a couple of days while I work on it, unless those files are stored in SVN somewhere.

Let me know.

Not tested yet, but if exact, ur right Jérémie... utf-8 HAS to be USED (now we have it).

On contrary, i don't follow you on that one...
"Courriel" had NEVER get used in French general language. It's just the "official" translation (and within these terms ur right), but majority users still use "Email". French Academy tries to translate EVERY word from english, ok, that's their job. But they aren't right everytimes. In the way u can't imagine to "localize" a word as "week-end", i think that u can't localize "email".

Hello Jérémie
Nice to read you, I was looking to have an answer from you since you are, if I'm right, the original translator of this application (I saw also eureka work in it...)

About the the entities, In the current English pack of the public site translation there are also entities, so...

There's also the recurrent topic of using Courriel instead of Email.

That's a point we should discuss...

Let me know.

Thanks for your cooperation ! lie2815 talked about an online translation platform for the packages. As soon as this platform is ready we should work on it
I suggest you (both Mpok and you) to continue this discussion on the French forums, it will be easier for me

It's OBVIOUS that discuss should be on French Community's....

But i'm waiting to Jérémie...

@Jérémie : I know u had "pbms" with PREVIOUS direction of French's Site (it changed). Let's go over the past, and let's work (or try to..) together.

Well I didn't know that story, I'm too new to FluxBB...
I can only say that cooperation and team work is the only way to bring a translation (or other projects) to a good level. Let's share our experiences to move forward

That'll take a while. I suggest you go for it now.

You were right. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I've changed it in [1250]. The left-over ones ( ) should stay what they are.

There seems to be an encoding problem. Instead of ... My browser display âŠ on youy changeset!
Why no HTML entities ? Does some browser not support these elements ?

I know. Trac has been doing that forever. It's fine. It really is the UTF-8 equivalent of an ellipsis (…).

Can you give me the code you used please, so that I can change this in the French translation ?

Franz · 2010-01-13 10:05:33

Just copy the character I posted. It should only be one instead of three. Alternately, you can download the English SVN folder and copy it from there. Or, third option: type "..." (three dots) in MS Word and they should automatically be transformed into a single "…" (ellipsis) character.

Oh I see ! On Windows I hit the following keys : Alt + 0133 Is that the good way ?

It's more complex than that, there's some backward compatibility to take into account. But wholesaling, yes.

You missed the point. I just said it's a recurring topic because Courriel is the word enforced by the state, while it's never used on a day to day basis; as you mentioned.

And by the way, I tend to strongly agree to your point of view. On my translations of PunBB I never used Courriel, it was punbb.fr who get it back in their own adaptation of my lang pack.

That doesn't mean it's not a topic that shouldn't be debated.

I'm the second one. I did it pretty much from scratch iirc, but there was another translator in 1.0 (and maybe 1.1) branch. Can't remember his name though.

Not for me, I don't use it. But I'll take a look.

Any specifics as to why you want to keep entities for non-breaking space? Server issue, client issue?

On my absolutely not extended testing, the utf8 glyph for nbsp works fine. But if there's a reason to keep it as entity, you should use the numeric one #160;. It's a small thing, but it has better compatibility with older (as in, realllllly older) UA.

Just use … copy&paste it if you need

Paul · 2010-01-17 13:34:38

Just about the first thing I did on 1.3 was a massive search/replace to convert   to #160; not specifically because of utf8 but because   isn't actually valid xml.

I guess so. However, it would suck for translators who wouldn't see (and probably wouldn't think or bother of checking) that this is a non-breaking space. So, I wouldn't suggest using the UTF-8 character in that special case.

Since I don't have a clue about this, I guess we'll just follow what Paul said

Reines · 2010-01-17 17:12:18

Just for anyone confused reading this, that should be   not just #160;

Paul · 2010-01-17 17:41:19

I don't know about the language files, but the truth is just about all the non-breaking spaces in the core files could actually be disposed of. These days white-space: nowrap should work consistently in browsers even IE6.
