Translating RosarioSIS to Arabic

[medahmedey]

Hello,

I'm trying to translate rosariosSIS into arabic. I'm using poedit for this purpose. I encontered a problem with plural forms. Actually there is 6 plural forms in arabic. See : http://wiki.arabeyes.org/Plural_Forms but some messages in RosarioSIS have just two plural forms. The first one I saw is this

: functions/ListOutput.fnc.php:3 modules/Attendance/AttendanceCodes.php:148

: modules/Food_Service/MenuReports.php:181

: modules/Grades/EditReportCardGrades.php:252

: modules/Grades/FinalGrades.php:167 modules/Grades/ReportCards.php:275

: modules/Grades/Transcripts.php:226 modules/Users/Preferences.php:293

: modules/Users/Preferences.php:326 modules/Users/Preferences.php:364

msgid "."
msgid_plural "."
msgstr[0] "."
msgstr[1] "."

poedit error message:

LC_MESSAGES/rosariosis.po:6: nplurals = 6...
LC_MESSAGES/rosariosis.po:1047: ...but some messages have only 2 plural forms
PM: msgfmt: found 1 fatal error

Any suggestions how I can deal with that ?
PS: once I finished the translation I will profide you with the .po file. Still, another problem: Arabic is writing from left to right, the user interface has to be adapted so.

Hi zeine77,

Thank you for translating RosarioSIS to arabic.

I found this link about plural forms:
http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/localization-guide/en/latest/l10n/pluralforms.html?id=l10n/pluralforms
This will help you to fill in the Plural Forms of the arabic catalogue
in Poedit.
As for the catalogue, you should start a new one I think, not reusing
the french or spanish one.

As for the interface, I just know that there is a direction LTR or RTL
parameter in HTML, see
https://github.com/francoisjacquet/rosariosis/blob/master/index.php#L191
Will it be enough?

A precision concerning ListOutput function:

• first ou must add it to the Source Keywords in the catalog properties in Poedit: ListOutput:3,4
• I must precise that I have issues with this function and the plural forms, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15280802/gettext-wont-parse-plural-forms-when-singular-exists
