Hi,

we are currently planning to use Cacti in a production environment.
Is there anything new on the translation topic ? We could translate ourselves (and submit patches when it's done, we need a french translation) , but there would be a need to have such a mechanism as GNU gettext...

Cheers,

Hi,

0.8.6d is pretty stable. Therefore, please write Ian and discuss how you would modify the base 0.8.6d code to implement GetText. Then, once agreed, you can be the first and we will simply add languages from there. You will, of course, have to turn it over to the group and be recognized as well.

I am very excited for this!

I'll gladly help with the Spanish translation.

gettext doesn't appear to be thread-safe, which will cause some issues with Apache 2.x

It also appears to be reliant on having the specific locale installed (which would be OK for users, but possibly a pain for developers), but I haven't fully researched this yet.

Linegod,

Work a plan and then post to Wiki (provided Ian's granted access). Once you have formulated a plan, we can have a conference call.

Linegod,

I have taken matters into my own hands. Tomorrow, I will submit CVS several changes to implement Gettext. I am working on just the skeleton now. Let's keep dialog open. Others may join at any time once the code is in place.

I built it in quite quickly using the gettext tools, but had issues switching between languages, even using the strict codes. I could 'fake it' by moving the 'es/LC_MESSAGES/messages.mo' to 'en/LC_MESSAGES/' and get it to give me the Spanish translation, but otherwise I couldn't get it to switch codes.

Ian has instructed me to tone it down so we can focus on 0.9. So, even though I am close to publishing, I can not. But, in any event, I have learned quite a bit about gettext and some other variants.

Hello All,

The implmentation of translation support has been added to Cacti 0.9-dev. This has been done in two ways. The first is through the use of php_gettext (non-thread safe). The second is by using the Savannah Groups gettext emulator (thread safe). Therefore, you can expect decent support for your web site.

I am looking for volunteers to take on language translation. Those who take on this responsibility must meet the following requirements:

1) Have a working knowledge of php
2) Have a good IDE for PHP
3) Familiar with gettext, or optionally, have a good coding backgroud
4) Have access to anonymous CVS and set it up to pull our development snapshots

I am cautioning anyone for spending too much time on the activity for now other than to familiarize yourself with the process.

If you are interested, please send an e-mail to me larryjadams@comcast.net. Please include in the subject line: "Cacti Translation Volunteer Request". By volunteering, a few things will happen:

1) You will get your name somewhere that may outlive you
2) You will help humanity or the Cacti community at least (in some form anyway)
3) You will receive personalized service from either Tony, Ian or myself

Please include in the CC: line of your e-mail, the following recipients:

iberry at raxnet dot net
