Talk:Language.php
Appearance
From the page:
- For translators starting new languages: please note this page is almost never the latest version of this respective file. For best results, download the full version of the latest Wikipedia package from the project's SourceForge page and translate the Language.php file. You've been warned. This version might miss some strings, and you'll end up with errors on your newly translated pages.
Then what the f*ck is the purpose of having this page on meta to begin with? This is really outrageous if true. --Maveric149
- Yes, it was true. I translated the Romanian version based on this page, only to find lots of errors because of the lack of synchronization. So I ended up deleting the code from this page, leaving the notice pointing to the proper URL of the latest version, along with a warning not to re-post it. If anybody feels this decision was wrong, feel free to re-post it; I personally would find that a bad idea given that it will be doomed to fall out of synchronization all the time. -- Gutza 01:06, 13 Aug 2003 (UTC)
I may be a bit slow, but which is the Language.php we should use. In the CVS links I see a couple (some have a HEAD tag):
- http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/wikipedia/phase3/languages/Language.php?rev=1.25.2.13
- http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/wikipedia/phase3/languages/Language.php?rev=1.52
etc...
I also would like to know which text strings I should translate. It does not seem clear to me (as if some strings are expected to be left in English)?
