Help with how to translate

[Therax]

Hi
I have searched and havent found a satisfying answer about this.
I want to translate to my languge but i dont want to be a mantainer or
anything, this is for my use and maybe offer it on my forum and what i
want to know is at the beggining of the files there is some info about who
has made the translation and about the copyright.
What in that info are to be changed and what to
add to that info or is it just to add my infomation in whats already there
or is there a templete how that ifo should look like?

it is not just the languge pack that i want to translate but also modds.

i am asking this becuse i want to make the originally author just and
make sure that there wont be any complains.

You can list yourself in the @copyright line and list the Original copyright below. This is our phpBB translation for example, the file has to be released under the GPLv2 as well.

Code: Select all

<?php
/** 
*
* acp_ban [Čeština]
*
* @package language
* @version $Id: ban.php 407 2008-02-28 14:16:55Z ameeck $
* @copyright (c)  2009 phpBB.cz
* @license http://opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php GNU Public License 
* Original copyright: (c) 2005 phpBB Group
*
*/ 

May I ask if there are any particular reasons why you would not like to provide a translation of phpBB in your language?

Okej then i understand is this the same for mods aswell??

The reson is becuse it already exits and
i would like to make and use my own pack. If it would be wanted i could release it
but there are already a version now.
