hello i18n specialists.

I am translating another file to romanian using this site's CPGlang module and I'm having an awful time trying to understand what the previous translator was thinking when he/she was doing the translation. you know ... OK, Cancel and Save - best discribe their actions in english.

I would strongly appreciate another column (or more?) in CPG lang that would have the original language the script was written on: English or German (thinking eventCalendar)

or better yet, let the user chose an already translated language (or more languages) in 1 or more comumns to figure out what the text is really supposed to mean.

... this would help make better translations, and less debuging would be needed searching the site and finding out that, hey! - "Store" (for example) was a verb and not a noun....

hehe. I guess the more languages a person knows the better the translation will be.

I'm native romanian and I have difficulty finding translations to words like 'computer' or 'links' since these do really not exist in my language. Having another column with 'ordinateur' and 'links' in French and another column with 'calcolatore' and 'links' in Italian would ring a bell and I would realize that I can use 'calculator' for 'computer' and 'link-uri' for 'links' - since no other language has a translation for 'links'
(well of course they do. this was just an example - 'links' mot-a-mot in romanian has to do with chains... and I cannot say "chain to this site" sounds really funny in an errotic sense.. hehe)

all these thoughts run trhough my mind while translating...
hope you'll understand my frustration and improve the CPGLang module.

having the original version of the text will help with tags:
ie:
You are Anonymous user. You can register for free by clicking <a href="".getlink("Your_Account&amp;op=new_user")."">here</a>

this makes use of .getlink()
then the previous verision of:

<a href="modules.php?name=Your_Account">aici</a>


Cheers!
Thank you.

I finished translating, but I can't send the file. it says I have used tags that are not allowed.

I used only

<b></b>
<i></i>
<br />
<a href= ></a>
<center></center>



Thanks

some one please help me here, since I have to keep the browser open.

is there a way I can save what I've done so far to try again later?

thanks.

One sec. Ok did the error meassage take up the full screen.

Code::

The html tags you attempted to use are not allowed

damn...
I'm afraid that cpglang.html loaded and that's the one that has the cpgnuke. I really don't want to loose 4 hours of work.

even though the problem may be fixed now, I still have the old version loaded, and waitng to be sent.

how can I save the data?

the work you did should not inculde these, epescailly since it another language. Maybe except for style!. But here what you need to do.
backup mainfile.php

Now open mainfile.php and remove this and upload it, Then go aahead and submit it again.

then upload the backup when your finished.

What do you mean? I have no access to mainfile.php because I'm using this site to translate.

are you talking cache?
thanks.

PHP:

(eregi("\([^>]*\"?[^)]*\)", $secvalue)) ||

what if I remove the getlink() [which is in between ""]
I don't understand what tags I'm not supposed to use...

thanks.

I deleted the translations for this 3 lines and it looks like it bypassed the error message.

however the text I get as confirmation is

Code::

Mail je poslat! to webmaster @ cpgnuke.com Hvala �to ste nas kontaktirali Paul Cuciureanu please choose another file.

which is neither English nor Romanian.....
someone please translate?

.. I can still go back (web browser button) and resend it.

Just please let me know if you guys received the translation.
Thank you.

translation for the 3 lines:

Code::

Nu ţi-ai creat un cont. Te poţi <a href="".getlink("Your_Account&amp;op=new_user")."">înregistra</a> gratuit.

Code::

Încă nu ai un cont? Poţi <a href="".getlink("Your_Account&amp;op=new_user")."">crea unul</a> gratuit.

Code::

[ <a href="javascript:history.go(-1)">Mergi înapoi</a> ]

guess you'll put these in manually.
thanks.

Yes I received your full mainfile translation THANK YOU!
I will add thes extra lines and try to see what caused this..
