Hello all,
Has there been discussion about switching DokuWiki to use a more
sophisticated translation environment, such as GNU gettext[1][2] ?
While the current way of printing localized messages using code like
print $lang['breadcrumb'].':';
does the job ok, it has the consequence of making the translation
process a bit cumbersome as each translator has to (more or less)
manually keep track of changes in inc/lang/??/.
Using gettext, the translations could be tracked automatically and
edited with standard localization software (such as poedit, kdebabel,
gtranslator etc.) and even simpler web-based tools such as the Rosetta
Translation Portal. Andi, what do you think? Other comments?
cheers,
-Matti
