[TYPO3-translators] Translation 4.0 can begin

[Kasper Skårhøj]

Hi translators.

TRANSLATION SERVER:
I have now updated the translation server:

http://194.117.233.66/typo3/t3l10n/typo3/index.php

Your username corresponds to the language key, eg. "dk" for Danish.
Passwords depends on what you might have changed it to. The default  
is "hiphop".
We have no chief translators officially, but those language who have  
a lead person organizing translation please a) change the password,  
b) enter your name and email in the User > Setup module (this will  
indicate you are "chief").

If you wish to know what the status of a translation is, look here:
http://194.117.233.66/typo3/t3l10n/typo3conf/l10n/status.html
(updated each night)



NEWS GROUP:
Michael Stucki will make this mailing list available on the news  
server when he has time.



CHIEF TRANSLATORS:
Here is the be_users list from the translation server. This shows who  
to ask for the password if you lost it:
-------------- next part --------------

If a change of chief is needed or password forgotten, please ask me  
to reset it. (But I am away for a few days now, so don't expect  
immediate response.)




BACKGROUND INFORMATION
I have modified the localization system so all translations are  
written into external files inside typo3conf/l10n/[language keys].  
These directories are the new "language packs" and can be distributed  
as zip-files for now. Later I expect support in the Extension Manager  
for upload/download. This solves all the problems we have now that  
the online translation tool is missing.

I have updated the documents "Inside TYPO3" and "TYPo3 Core Api" and  
later today they are in CVS (typo3 project at sf, module "CoreDocs").  
If any of you want to read what the changes are, go look there.

Later, we can have a pleasant talk about translation in the future,  
but I believe that all the technical changes are ready now for a  
truely flexible, expandable and cooperative locazation effort.




BUGS?
if you find any bugs or if you think translations that were there are  
now missing on the translation server, please let me know!
