Yeah I see.

Unfortunately, we can't allow translators to do partial translations. When a user download a language pack from our website, he's looking for a full high-quality translation. That's the deal to appear as "official" translation.

Thanks for your understanding. :)

i know that you need a fully translated pack, but can't you just help me find out what files i need to translate?
it is just so i get my side up and go.
i will translate the whole file when i have got my side up and go or need i to translate all?

I don't know what you're exactly mean but if you want to start with the things users will see, it's all the files which are not in the acp/ repository in the default language pack. ;)

Yeah, so, basically, you have to translate everything included in the default language pack except the acp/ folder. But once again, we do not accept partial translations, so send us your translation (if you want to, it's up to you) only when it's complete, with the control panel translated.

I hope you have your answers. Good luck! :)

I'm the one in charge to check all the language packs before approve them yeah. :)

As I unfortunately don't speak all the languages in the world, I only check file structure and some stuff related, not the language itself. But if the language pack have major mistakes in it, I have often some feedbacks from users of the language pack, so I'm informed about.
