Basque language

Post by lopetaz »

Hi folks,
I have phpBB3.0.4 running on my server but i would like to translate it into Basque language (a region in the norht of Spain). I am afraid there is not a package ready for that so, what steps i should go through in order to get this done?

thanks

lopetaz, welcome to phpBB.com.
Well, click on the following link to check if phpBB is being translated into your language:
:arrow: http://www.phpbb.com/languages/

If not, see the #Rule8a for this forum. You can became a phpBB translator by choosing the option "New Translations" at the languages' page i've put above. Thanks for your contribution, we hope you could do a nice job!

Hi,
I believe this topic was longer the last time i came in, althought i am glad it hasnt been lost.

I have already read the way phpBB3 declares people responsible for languages. However if Basque is checked in http://www.phpbb.com/languages/ nobody looks to be in charge of it. Therefore i tried to submint the form in http://www.phpbb.com/languages/apply.php?type=3.0.x and the next sentence is shown:
You are trying to become the maintainer of a language which is already being maintained. Please read the paragraph above regarding duplicate entries, which has now been highlighted for your convenience
Is there anybody who could explain what should i do? Who i need to contact to tell them that Basque is not being managed by anybody? and in case that there is somebody in charge of it how could i help?

Thanks
PD: basque, an ancient language spoken in the north of Spain/ south west of France.

Did you try to apply as spanish or france language maintainer? Or just Basque?
I don't see Basque on the list, and the error you get should only come to those who are trying to submit an exsisting language.

Hi,
I am afraid that Spanish and French moderators haven't got a clue about Basque. It is not a dialect, it is another language, and it should be on the list if it is the case.
I don't see Basque on the list, and the error you get should only come to those who are trying to submit an existing language.
That is why i posted this topic.
I saw somewhere (on the net) that in phpbb2 somebody took in charge the Basque language but i am not sure about it, here is what i got from google:

My previous suggestion that was lost was to select (not listed) from the end of the drop down list. In the text box, explain that you do not see a maintainer for Basque and the error message that you were given.
Not here very much, but I still appreciate you | Former Community Team

I still did not hear from phpBB. It is already 5 days, is it common not to get any reply in this time?
Thanks

If you have sent all the neccessary information and a valid request, you will get a response as soon as possible. I will check on with the team members responsible later today. However, please take in mind, that we might not be here 7 days a week and there is a lot of work to do in other areas. We didn't forget about you though, do not worry :)

Hi lopetaz!

I´ve almost finished translating phpBB 3.0.4 into Basque. I´ll try to make the translation available at librezale dot org (have to ask the Site´s masters first) but if you want it as soon as posible you can reply this post or send me a PM.

I first tried to make the translation official but the language maintainer didn´t answer. And now I see that the language isn´t even listed. Don´t know what happened.

Agur bero bat!

Arratsaldeon lopetaz!

Ezin izan dut MPrik bidali (dirudienez bost post baino gutxiago dekogunok ezin omen ditugu bidali)

Zera, email karpetan dauden hiru-lau testu fitxategi baino ez zaizkit geratzen (emailera bidaltzen diren mezu orokorrak: kontua gaitzerakoan, debekua jasotzerakoan eta holangoak) biherko amaituta.

Dena dela, pertsona bakarrak egiteak akats gehiago dakartza, beraz, nahi baduzu fitxategiak pasatuko dizkizuet eta gainbegiratu bat eman zeinkioe.

Ondo izan!

Hi Bixerdo,

That sound very good to me, Just send me the files over email address [email protected], i ve got the forum with my friends where we already set up some common words for the translation of the words (some sort of English to Euskara dictionary). We will all have a look to them, discuss the translation and ask whether you agree or not with the suggestions¿?

Thanks!

:oops: Sorry! I couldn´t send the PM to lopetaz and just copypasted the text written in it. I just told him that the translation is almost already finished and that I could send the files to check them.
