RS DISCUSS IN YOUR LANGUAGE ============================================================================ RS Discuss includes full sopport for translation into your language. If you are familiar with the tools to make POT files and can help translate, please read below. INSTALLING YOUR LANGUAGE ============================================================================ If your copy of WordPress is already using a language file, RS Discuss can match it and also translate the plugin. This is automatic, and only requires you to upload two files, whose names match the value you have set for WPLANG in your wp-config.php file. For example, to set RS Discuss up for German / Deutsch (Wordpress language de_DE): - Download the "German / Deutsch [de_DE]" language pack from www.sargant.com/blog/wordpress-plugins/rs-discuss/ - Upload the files "rs-discuss-de_DE.mo" and "default-template-de_DE.php" to your /rs-discuss/languages/ directory. - That's it! The .mo file will translate the plugin configuration and menus, and the .php file will change your default template. If you are using a custom template, then TRANSLATING INTO YOUR LANGUAGE ============================================================================ If you can help to translate, then there is an english-only .po file available to download from www.sargant.com to get you started. Using a tool like poEdit (www.poedit.org) you can then translate the strings. The default template is not automatically translated, so you will have to translate this by hand. If you have to make any modifications to the HTML or PHP of this file to accomodate the translation better, feel free. Once you are done, send the .po and default-template.php files to robert@sargant.com and I'll upload them to share with the world. In your email, please also include: - A name and website to be credited with on the website - A name and email address to be credited with inside the file itself - Confirmation that you are willing to license the translation under the GNU GPL.
