Topic: Volunteer translators for installaion wizard messages needed

We are looking for volunteer translators of messages for new installer which will be available since Froontaccounting 2.3RC1 release. The installation wizard has implemented multilanguage support, but to use it we need help from community.

The translation process is easy and can be done with any texteditor, or with specialized tool like POedit. The attached messages file contains 103 messages to be translated, and whole process should not take more than 30min to one hour.

We are especially interested in following (or similar) language versions:
* bulgarian (bg_BG)
* hungarian (hu_HU)
* russian (ru_RU)
* bosnian (sh_BA),
* chinese traditional  (zh_TW)

We have already done following translations:
* arabic (ar_EG)  - done by Hameed
* chinese simplified (zn_CN) - done by Scott
* danish (da_DK) - done by Joe Hunt
* dutch (nl_NL) - done by MorkvonOrk
* french (fr_FR) - done by Gaston Huot
* georgian (ka_GE) - done by Giorgi Natsvlishvili
* german (de_DE) - done by iscongroup.net
* greek (el_GR) - done by Kyriakos Tsoukalas
* indonesian (id_ID) - done by e-prast
* italiano (it_IT) - done by Paolo Ardoino
* polish (pl_PL)  - done by Janusz Dobrowolski
* portuguese (pt_BR) - done by InterConnect Brasil
* spanich (es_MX) - done by Julio C.Perea Pastrana
* swedish (sv_SE) - done by Joe Hunt

Following versions are work in progress:
- none -

Any other translations are also welcome.
If you are interested to support FrontAccounting project this way, please let us know posting to this thread.

Thank you very much in advance.

Re: Volunteer translators for installaion wizard messages needed

Hi I'm an accountant. I'm willing to contribute my spare time to translate into Georgian. Where to start? Thanks.

Re: Volunteer translators for installaion wizard messages needed

under the /install folder there is a /lang folder and for each language there is a xx_YY folder where xx is the language and YY is the country.
In the New Language Template folder /LC_MESSAGES there is an empty empty.po file.
You can use an Open Source program poEdit to translate this empty.po file into Georgian. When you are ready, just send it us and we make it available for the next minor release.

Re: Volunteer translators for installaion wizard messages needed

Joe I've done the home work. Sent file to contributions@frontaccounting.com

As I understand this is only installation wizard. How about the FA translation itself?

Re: Volunteer translators for installaion wizard messages needed

I can't get an idea of "Balance Based" to translate into Georgian. There's also string "You can only use Balance Based together with Journal Entries." So I've hard time to get "Balance Based" into any context.  Please, explain.

Re: Volunteer translators for installaion wizard messages needed

For Quick Entry pattern base amount can be passed by user, or read from  GL account (current balance amount). The recent case is Balance Based QE.

Please, tell me what is meant by free hand?

Re: Volunteer translators for installaion wizard messages needed

By free hand is meant a Credit Note without any Invoice reference.
You can credit an invoice from the Customer Transactions inquiry, but you can also do a Credit Note from the Sales Tab directly without any Invoice reference.

Re: Volunteer translators for installaion wizard messages needed

Bulk means 'many', so in the document selections you can print many (bulk) invoices after each other by selection or so.

BP = Bank Payment

BT = Bank Transfer
PC = Purchase (Supplier) Credit Note
