DekiWiki Translation

[R0yk3]

Hi there,
i am busy translating to Dutch. I have got the latest version installed (1.8.2 hayes)
I gues only the recources.txt file has to be translated??

Is er nog een Nederlander hiermee aan de gang?? dan kunnen we het werk verdelen.

I am doing this in my spare time so it wil go slow.

Yes, "resources.txt" is the only file that needs to be translated. However, there are a few places in the interface that are still not translatable. We're working on finding them and adding them to resources.txt. So, if you see something that you can't translate, don't wreck your head over it.

Good luck on the translation. I'm sure many will appreciate it!

Hello,

i have an idea for people having the same problem like me.

I have installed Deki Wiki with the downloaded VMWare Image.
But after putting the resources.de-de.txt with WinSCP onto the Server, the "Umlauts" weren't correctly displayed.
Then I first TARed (or zip) the txt file, transferred it, and then UNTARed it.
=> works fine for me

I had the same problem ...
after some minutes of searching for a solution i just changed Line 368 of the Language.php to

return utf8_encode(@$wgAllMessagesEn[$key]); 

worked fine for me ...
but next time i will try your idea thx

This is not a highly recommend solution - I prefer heilmannseder's solution.

The issue is that somewhere while transferring, you're loading the resources file into an environment where the UTF-8 gets converted to latin-1 (that's why utf8_encode() works.

I would try to figure out why that's happening, rather than assuming your resources file is corrupted
