In addition to the general language files, there are two more files that you may interested in.
Default elements
The file "default_elements.php" under the folder "admin" contains the default elements to be inserted when a new form is created. You may want to replace the English terms with your language.
Database records
Okay the developer confessed that the stuffs inserted along with the default installation were just for fun and absoluetly useless, but he just couldn't imagine that the webmaster of Sacred Journey is crazy enough to use them.
Translating the default sql file is not that easy. You should not just replace the default English terms with the translated by simply modifying the mysql.sql file. Take the following steps instead:
- Install Liaise and keep the default configuration untouched.
- Do the translation under Liaise admin.
- Export the database records using phpMyAdmin.
- Remove all text related to the database table prefix, i.e. replace "xoops_liaise_forms" with "liaise_forms".
To test what you have done, reinstall Liaise with your translated file.
File structure
All contributions will be placed under the following structure:html/
- default stuffs
extras/
- German
- README.txt
- language/german/
- general lanuage files
- sql/
- mysql.sql
- admin/
- default_elements.php
- French
- README.txt
- ......
The reason for moving the general language file out from the default language folder is, forcing people to read the readme file indicating that there is something more to do if they want a fully translated version of Liaise in the language they use.
Once you have finished, kindly send your contribution to us, describe a little about yourself that we can mention in the credits.
