Contribute dbMan - Language support
I want to translate dbMan to many languages - for many native users. I made in 0.0.4 version of dbMan (April 1999) dbManLang module for supporting multi-languages environment, but nobody translate dbMan messages to their own language.
Now I made new tool - dbMan language editor - for easy translating. If you want to translate dbMan to your language, please start dbman-le program and you see something like this:
In this program you can modify current language variant or add new language variant for each tag. Tag is special node tie with dbman program - e.g. if I have Czech locale (cz ISO code), I see in menu item for selecting buffering window Czech message "Okno pouze na jeden dotaz" instead of English "Window only for single query".
By pushing "New language" button you can add new language represented by ISO code - e.g. "sk" for Slovakia, "de" for Deutch etc. I use "New tag" button for creating new tags - this is useful only for contributors of dbman, nDBD modules or plugins. Button "Reset current tag" set default values to text fields for current tag - if you change tag to another, new values are stored as default - in memory.
For saving your work to disk use "Save" button. You must use new filename (not existing on disk).
You can test new module - e.g. you save your work as dbManLang-de.pm - you must do this steps:
Last command set ISO code for dbMan language and start dbMan with new language resources. If first command fail (error message) - please mail me bug report for dbman-le - use dbman-bug program and your new *.pm file with new resource strings. Original message are stored in dbManLang.pm.orig now.
If all works correctly please mail me message to sorm@fi.muni.cz with these things:
