Plugins translating

[Sewar]

Plugins and Themes should use their own language files, not WP main language file.

The attachments contain patchs for plugins included in WP package, i will make patchs for themes later.

All strings in the plugin should be add to plugin's language file excluding strings available in WP main language file, i hope this is helpful.

Patch for Akismet plugin.

Patch for WordPress Database Backup plugin.

Let's wait until after 2.0.2 to move these strings.

Patch for WordPress Database Backup plugin

wp-db-backup is no longer part of trunk, but akismet is still valid.

matt: Why not doing this in 2.1?

[nbachiyski]

If you do want to commit it, please do it sooner, for some translators may be not aware of the procedure of translating plugins, generating different mo files, putting them in the right place and so on. Leave us some time before launch to sort that kind of troubles :)

[ryan]

If we commit this, I'll probably add some code that will default the text domain to default if the requested text domain doesn't have a corresponding mo. That way translators can continue using the combined catalog for now.

[nbachiyski]

That way we will have to hack the pot generation routine also, because if this was committed the current xgettext script will remove akismet's strings from the pot. Anyway it will not be hard to combine them :)

Will someone also update the Codex pages on Internationalization?

[nbachiyski]

Yes - we are on some updates.
However, it could also be you ;)

[ryan]

I'm lame and didn't get around to this. Let's postpone to avoid last minute i18n changes.

[Sewar]

If you think this will not be fixed, close it as WONTFIX, better than changing milestone all the time.

For Akismet, why not submit it to the WP plugins Trac? Also, WP-DB-Backup isn't shipped anymore.

Just in case anyone wonders, although WP-DB-Backup isn't bundled with WP anymore, I'm still maintaining it ​here (with i18n).

Replying to rob1n:

Why was the recent widgets work recorded in the WP plugins trac?

Although, others also favor that, I think this approach breaks down. Anything shipped with WordPress, should have development supported at a single location. Its bugs should stare back at us every day until we fix them, not be in the closet ;-)
