Administration does not translate into French.

Post by schtroumph »

Hi

As I am not a native English speaker, I used DeepL to translate this. It should be translated correctly.

Yesterday I installed Phoca Email 5.1.1 and put the files from the language pack fr-FR.com_phocaemail.zip (dated 02/14/2011) in language/fr-FR and administrator/language/fr-FR. But the administration is still in English.

Joomla 5.4.0

Salut

Hier j'ai installé Phoca Email 5.1.1 et mis les deux fichiers du pack de langue fr-FR.com_phocaemail.zip (du 14/02/2011) dans language/fr-FR et administrator/language/fr-FR. Mais l'administration est toujours en anglais.

Joomla 5.4.0

Hi,
But the administration is still in English.
That's right. The available French translation is made for Joomla 1.5 and don't work in Joomla! 1.6 onwards for several reasons:

1.) The right part of a string must begin and end with double quotation marks.
For example this string:
COM_PHOCAEMAIL_FIELD_CC_USERS=Cc (destinataires)
must now look like this:
COM_PHOCAEMAIL_FIELD_CC_USERS="Cc (destinataires)"

2.) The same applies to the file ‘fr-FR.com_phocaemail.menu.ini’, which must now be renamed to: ‘fr-FR.com_phocaemail.sys.ini’.

3.) The biggest problem, however, is that over time, 256 new strings have been added to ‘en-GB.com_phocaemail.ini’, which needs to be copied to 'fr-FR.com_phocaemail.ini' and also needs to be translated.

If you want to update this translation, refer to the English language files:
en-GB.com_phocaemail.ini
and:
en-GB.com_phocaemail.sys.ini
within Phoca Email component.
Unzip Phoca Email v5.1.1
locally on your computer and you will find the two English language files in the directory:
com_phocaemail_v5.1.1\admin\language\en-GB\

If you do so, it will be appreciated if you would share your updated translation with the Phoca community.


Kind regards,
Benno

I saw posts with the Resolu tag. I wanted to do it for mine, but I can't edit my first post.
