Translation

[ouafnico]

Hello

Sorry to ask here, but can I help about french translation of Cacti?

If yes, how?

Thanks

Thanks for helping out. The best thing you can do is as follows:

1. Clone the repository
2. Install the xgettext application for your operating system
3. Open a shell command and generate a cacti.pot file using the update-pot.sh script found in 'locales'. Note: If you are running on Windows, make sure you issue a dos2unix command on the php files before you run the script. (find . -name *.php -exec dos2unix {} ;)
4. Install a po editor.
5. From the po editor, you can open the cacti.pot file and create a fr.po file.
6. From po editor, you can start your translation.
7. After the translation is complete, you can compile a fr.mo file.
8. Lastly issue a pull request providing both your fr.po and fr.mo files.

Keep in mind that Andi (browniebrown) is making heavy edits to the Cacti mainline, and therefore, you will have to update your po and mo files a few times before he is done.

Agreed that this was not the correct way to ask. In the future, use the users mailing list found on SourceForge. You can register there as well. Thanks for helping. I'm going to close this now.

Thanks for the information.
I'm pretty sure it can be helpful for others ;)

Great, I really appreciate that! :)
BTW: Naming of language files should to be {language}_{county}.(po/.mo). In your case "french_france".
