n.b. there are now two externals directories - one that is being read by
mail-search but which is redundant and one that is under the new www/ which
can be compressed to remove the en/ subdirectory.
Sorting out that is the next stage. (tips welcome!)
The rest of the plan is now:
1. Convert all remaining .phtml files to identify translatable strings.
a) Each translatable string needs to be on a single line - PHP doesn't
have the concatenation behaviour of C where "x " "y" are added before being
passed to gettext. If in doubt, see www/index.phtml.
b) Wherever possible, keep paragraphs together but avoid including too
many HTML tags in the translatable string, especially <a href=""> as the
quotes need to be escaped and may not survive translation.
c) I've committed a few helper files which may be removed eventually.
2. News items will be put for translation by the news-script so don't do
anything with those.
3. Other languages are not automatically supported yet - particularly at my
demo site.
4. Only the index page is actually by the server at the moment, I need to
extend support by using a slightly modified gettext.php in each file.
If anyone feels like helping with the identification of translatable strings,
feel free to commit.
:-)
Translators should wait a little longer until more of the content is marked up
for gettext. However, if you want to make a start, please do.
