Feature request: Multi-Language-Support

I tried database-driven/dynamic translation. My approach was not bad, but I wasn't able to realize it. Not enough skills for that ^^

If it's okay I'll create a text-based translation. The beginning looks promising ;-)

Okay, here is the first preview. I changed the theme p2 and the folders you said.

But there are many more variables left and I didn't understand the structure completely.

in /wp-content/language/lang_chooser.php you can edit the selected language with $language_selected.

this work is amazing

Hey, I downloaded and extracted the patch to my gid-omb-folder.

I only entered patch -p0 Shenpatch.diff and got an error message (attached).

Do I always have to enter git clone git@github.com:Shen/openmicroblogger.git to sync my local-folder with the source-folder?

or is there a possibility to update from souce?

Am I right that git pull origin master pulls my personal git and not the main source?

you can do this

git pull git://github.com/voitto/openmicroblogger.git master

I tried it, and it said I would just have to fix one file

CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in app/omb/views/posts/_profile.html

I did it like this

git clone git://github.com/Shen/openmicroblogger.git

cd openmicroblogger

git pull git://github.com/voitto/openmicroblogger.git master

here's how I was able to apply your patch

git clone git://github.com/voitto/openmicroblogger.git

mv openmicroblogger omb

// roll back to the revision Shen started with

cd omb

git checkout 87b076b11585dad7bfa4bdd6e3e8790753032676

cd ..

patch -p0 <Shenpatch.diff

but there is a problem, if I now pull it throws some errors

git pull git://github.com/voitto/openmicroblogger.git

wait til you see the new app called "translate" !!! in 0.3b66

the lang_chooser was lame/broken but I just posted fixes to http://dbscript.net/omb.zip

Hey Brian, wow!! Thats really impressive! Great feature :-)

But some notes: Every user can see the language of other people and can choose it. But only the owner of the language can change it. So every user has to add a new language file and has to make all translations twice if he wants to add new translations. This could be solved by an import-function.

But if you have a lot of people using omb there will be a plurality of language-files (maybe of the same language) which users could choose and nobody knows which on is most completed.

Yes, its really a cool feature :)

how about displaying in percent the translation-status of the several translations.

And never forget to this of the future! ;) bleeper.de a german laconica-clone gets well-established in a short time :)

Maybe we should remove german language as standard so that only english is like a template.

Forget my latest scentence. It doesn't make sense ;) Keep the german language-file :)

There is an update for Theme P2 Language and the eng.php file attached. The ger.php will follow as soon as it is translated.

I upload it here because I don't get my gid fork synced or overwritten with the master-version :(

Just had a few minutes. Update ger.php / eng.php

sidebar.php generates an error on line 155.

$before = "

<?php echo $txt['recent_projects']; ?>

I tried to resolve it with

$before = "

" . $txt['recent_projects'] . "

but it did't work. Error message is away, but text, too ;)

similar error on line 19 + 23 in page.php :(

Hi Johannes, thanks again for all the stuff you've been building!

your page.php

    <?php the_content('<p class="serif">'<?php echo $txt['page_read_rest']; ?>'&rarr;</p>'); ?>

    <?php if ( comments_open() ) comments_template(); ?>

    <?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>'<?php echo $txt['page_pages']; ?>'</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>

should be like this I think

    <?php the_content('<p class="serif">'.$txt['page_read_rest'].'&rarr;</p>'); ?>

    <?php if ( comments_open() ) comments_template(); ?>

    <?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>'.$txt['page_pages'].'</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>

AND

line 155 in sidebar

$before = "<li><h2>".$txt['recent_projects']."</h2>\n";

I will go ahead and make these changes when I install your code, unless you post an updated version here.

really would like to help you fix your github repo! also I do use assembla SVN for all of my commits before I send patches to github

maybe you can do something like this:

git clone git@github.com:Shen/openmicroblogger.git

cd openmicroblogger

git checkout 87b076b11585dad7bfa4bdd6e3e8790753032676

git pull git://github.com/voitto/openmicroblogger.git

git commit -a -m "syncing up"

git push origin master

cheers! p.s. tinyblog.de looks really cool, good domain name too

Thanks for your help. I have added the code as you said and updated ger.php again. so the attached files are up to date.

I will try to activate git again. And do it as you said. Hope it will work :)

tinyblog.de is not mine. But great to see that some people starting to use omb :) My Domains are tiquer.me /tiquer.de

this is cool I will get the updates merged soon, thanks a lot. or let me know if you put them in your github

here's what I notice right now on GitHub

if I do

git clone voitto/openmicroblogger

git pull Shen/openmicroblogger

then I [diff]

these files have some differences, maybe the line-enders were switched to Mac or something?

openmicroblogger/install.php

openmicroblogger/db/library/json.php

openmicroblogger/db/library/xpertmailer/ABOUT

openmicroblogger/resource/flash_upload.php

openmicroblogger/resource/jqUploader.css

openmicroblogger/resource/jquery.ajaxfileupload.js

openmicroblogger/resource/micro_player/skin.xml

openmicroblogger/resource/jquery.ui/*

openmicroblogger/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-friendfeed-comments/*

however, I can maybe just pull your new [patches] instead of pulling [all of your commits] so it's not that big of a deal but i didn't try that yet

but if you want others to be able to pull from you directly you might want to fix it

it is tricky because those files are "managed" by Git so you don't want to just overwrite the directories and lose the .git folders, I can't remember exactly how to do that safely with git

Thats strange. I reset my repo and pulled your master. In my last commit there was just my updated install.php. Nothing else should be different....

Gid will not be my best friend I think ;)

git is the future, you are right to avoid SVN and just learn git

what happened is you made a noisy commit on your first one, with a bunch of modified files, so I can't pull that commit

maybe you can just delete that commit individually? I am not a git expert

but that first commit you made is what introduces the modfied files

I will help you fix it but right now i'm working hard on another project, tomorrow I will help you with your git

in other words, if you look at all of your commits to Shen/openmicroblogger

that's what gets pulled down by someone who does a pull on your repo

so you need to make your total sequence of commits result in a "clean" omb plus your modifications

you can test it quickly like this

mkdir testdir

cd testdir

git clone git://github.com/voitto/openmicroblogger.git

mv openmicroblogger shenpull

cd shenpull

git pull git://github.com/Shen/openmicroblogger.git

cd ..

git clone git://github.com/voitto/openmicroblogger.git

mv openmicroblogger omb

diff -raupN --exclude=.git --exclude=.DS_Store --exclude=.svn shenpull/ omb/ > shenpulldiff

cat shenpulldiff

rm -rf testdir

ok i'm gonna figure this out

Thanks for the link. If you can see on github I synced my version with yours :)

I tried to commit a new branch but had the problem again that there were files included which I haven't changed.

I think could be because of the line-ending-problem

hey I tried it and yes, I can pull from you!

nice!

Okay, added some new langage-updates.

Can you tell me where I can find the strings from Settings - Profile (Settings, Friends, Password, Streams,...,Translate)?

Johannes I was able to pull from your repo and everything is working great, I don't see any problems at all. I will pull your commits to my master and push them out to my git repo

should this ticket be closed?
