Guidelines for Translation Submissions

=================

1. Package name: lang-2.0.16-< language code >.< encoding >.zip or .tar.gz

The language code and character set encoding is the same as in global.php (_LANGCODE and _CHARSET).

e.g. lang-2.0.16-pt_BR.UTF-8.zip
     lang-2.0.16-da.ISO-8859-1.tar.gz

2. The translation package should only include *core language* files, no system files or module language files except for the system module. Use the same language directory structure as the XOOPS core package.

e.g. lang-2.0.16-da.ISO-8859-1/install/language/danish/(files).php
                              /language/danish/(files).php
                              /modules/system/language/danish/(files).php

3. Required information: - Name of language (of course ;-) ) - Name of translator(s)/credits - URL link to translation package - (optional) support url - where people can post their comments about the translation

Note: 1. Languages requiring core changes for date/calendar formats can also include the changed core files in the package. 2. core change to include the language in the $language_array variable of install/install.php is also ok.

Thanks for supporting XOOPS! .
