If your language isn't available, you can always request and do it yourself!colnector wrote:End of life for 3.0.x is upon us but 3.1.x is still missing many language packs?[/b]
Good idea but I'm not asking for a single language for myself but rather run a site that's translated to 62 languages.Elias wrote:If your language isn't available, you can always request and do it yourself!
Thanks for explaining. I think it's one of the shortcomings of phpBB, not understanding the importance of availability of proper translations. Having a proper multilingual platform doesn't end by offering the option to translate it.Ger wrote:phpBB originally only ships with the default English language. All further translations need to come from local contributors. So in case you need a specific language not yet available on phpBB.com, I'd suggest to seek local support or search on Github.
Not sure what you expected to accomplish with that? As was explained the translations are done by volunteers, not by the phpBB teams. If there isn't someone that offers up their translation services for a particular language there isn't anything else we can realistically do. It is also likely that many of the 3.0 translations are incomplete and not up to date if they're missing from 3.1 since that probably means the translator is no longer active.colnector wrote:I was trying to get in touch with the person responsible over translations and got nowhere unfortunately.
Any one of the managers really or even the entire managers list. Outside of suggesting that we somehow recruit translators, which is unlikely and unrealistic, we would be happy to hear your suggestions.colnector wrote:The person responsible over managing the translations and volunteers of all languages (not a specific language) should be one of the phpBB team. It seems there's currently nobody who's actually pro-actively overseeing it and that's why things are as bad as they are. Who to talk to about trying to change that?
Try "The team" in the footercolnector wrote:Where's the list of "managers"?
You sent a PM to the Management Team? Strange. I don't see anything in my PM inbox...colnector wrote:Sent PM, let's see if anyone here wants to see this move forward. Thanks.

Something like LingoHub ?nicofuma wrote:It might work yes. But we will have to write this tool ourselves because none currently available fits our needs (as far as I know)
Chosen two people over there. As you're a part of discussion here, I didn't see a point in a PM.DavidIQ wrote:You sent a PM to the Management Team? Strange. I don't see anything in my PM inbox...
To my understanding, phpBB already has the tools needed to allow translations so no need to create/find a tool to do something as complex as on Colnect. All that's needed is someone of the phpBB team who'd take the role of being pro-actively responsible for translations and translators. From what I see, the biggest problem is that phpBB issued some pages about translations and from that point on awaits passively for people to step forward and translate well. This isn't a good solution and I think it's evident considering how many languages still don't have 3.1.x support at all.DavidIQ wrote:In any case I think if we had a platform wherein anyone can contribute translations by simply entering them into a form/system and these get reviewed that might work.
