Missing some languages already live in RPC #25

Closed petecooper closed 7 years ago

petecooper commented 8 years ago

Background: http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=46867

de-de is mentioned, but it's not in this repo. It makes sense to have it (and other languages not already here) copied into this repo so it can be modified as required.

The pophelp area of RPC is a bit of a mess which is why I only converted the English help into GitHub files. However, attached is an XML export of the whole pophelp database. If you can find a way of separating the files out into useable single files and put into repo then please do. Maybe some converter software can do it.

Cheers, Phil!

Hi Pete,

I've just redone the export with empty results omitted, which reduces the file size somewhat. New file attached.

OK, I've taken a first pass at converting it to CSV and sorting for some stats. Almost 3,000 entries (including en-gb already present in the repo) makes for a considerable repo increase.

I reckon awk could slice the input CSV into separate files easily enough, and I'll happily take dibs, but then there's a whole bag of ongoing translation housekeeping and maintenance hurt at play, and if it's a bit of a mess anyway then I wonder if it's worth postponing this until post-4.6 for now.

Edit: CSV attached.

We need to pick our battles. There is also the fact that most of the English pophelps, on which these translations were initially based years ago, have been completely updated and rewritten within the last two years whilst none of the others have. Therefore most of the translations are redundant. I was hoping people would write new helps from scratch from my English files (and a Czech person kindly did) but I didn't really do a big push for this to happen.

If, say, the most common languages were on there (de, fr, es) for now, from this dump, then I could live with that. Anything else waits for 4.7 when we will have these as text files bundled with the installation anyway. What do you think?

philwareham commented 8 years ago

PS. The reason I've picked those languages is that I know we have active users in those languages who probably would be prompt in updating them in the repo - it's no personal preference of one language over another.

petecooper commented 8 years ago

100% agree. Closing for now.

philwareham commented 8 years ago

OK. Can you get those French, German, Spanish files extracted easily?

petecooper commented 8 years ago

Yep. Assigned to me for now.

philwareham commented 8 years ago

German dump attached, as both CSV and XML, whichever is easiest to handle:
