From [[Recai]]:

Here is my initial work on ikiwiki l10n infrastructure (I'm sending it before finalizing, there may be errors).

I've revised the patches (tested OK):

  • $config{lang} patch:

    http://people.debian.org/~roktas/patches/ikiwiki/ikiwiki-lang.diff

    • Support for CGI::FormBuilder.
    • Modify Makefile.PL for l10n.
  • l10n infrastructure from Koha project. (This patch must be applied with '-p1', also, it needs a 'chmod +x l10n/*.pl' after patching.)

    • Leave templates dir untouched, use a temporary translations directory instead.

    • Fix Makefile (it failed to update templates).

However...

fine. Also a final note, I haven't examined the quality of generated templates yet.

Looks like, tmpl_process3 cannot preserve line breaks in template files. For example, it processed the following template:

Someone[1], possibly you, requested that you be emailed the password for

user <TMPL_VAR USER_NAME> on <TMPL_VAR WIKINAME>[2].

The password is: <TMPL_VAR USER_PASSWORD>

--
ikiwiki

[1] The user requesting the password was at IP address <TMPL_VAR

REMOTE_ADDR> [2] Located at <TMPL_VAR WIKIURL>

as (in Turkish):

Birisi[1], ki muhtemelen bu sizsiniz, <TMPL_VAR WIKINAME>[2] üzerindeki <TMPL_VAR USER_NAME> kullanıcısına ait parolanın epostalanması isteğinde bulundu. Parola: <TMPL_VAR USER_PASSWORD> -- ikiwiki [1] Parolayı isteyen kullanıcının ait IP adresi: <TMPL_VAR REMOTE_ADDR>[2] <TMPL_VAR WIKIURL>

Looks like, tmpl_process3 cannot preserve line breaks in template files. For example, it processed the following template:

This could be easily worked around in tmpl_process3, but I wouldn't like to maintain a separate utility.


As to the hardcoded strings in ikiwiki, I've internationalized the program, and there is a po/ikiwiki.pot in the source that can be translated. --[[Joey]]
