Hello,

yes, you can reuse translations from older versions. But you need to adjust them.
Good Tools are KBabel from the KDE Suite on *nix Systems.
Or poEdit >=1.3.1 for Windows Systems.

I suggest you just send your .po files to me, then i will adjust them and you can continue working on it.

Hi,

can you explain me how arabic handles Plurals ?

e.g. in english or german we have a Singular and Plural.

0 cars
1 car
2 cars
..... cars

so we have 2 forms.

turkish or hungarian dont have a special plural

say would say

0 "car"
1 "car"
2 "car"
...

russian have 4 different forms ....

how is it handled in your language ?

Jens

P.S.: Better send those files direct to me via email next time ;)

arabic translations needs some changes with nls.php

align = "right"
direction = "rtl"
and characterset = "windows-1256"

i will send files by mail next time.
about Plurals, in arabic, it is diffcult rule and it depends on the type of the Singular word

would you mind send me these words and i will send you back thier Plurals.
is it poissible????

Hello,

i already did this ;) But i used Charset ISO-8859-6
i also added a flag ;)

You can download the 1.4.4 and 1.4.5-cvs version on:
http://jems.de/archive

About the plurals, currently i used the english way.

You can not do this according to words. You can only do this by the count of values used.

Regards,

Jens

Hello Jens,
where is ar_EG translation version for Gallery v1.4.3, it has not a link in ur website and gallery v1.4.3 language packs????

Can I support both encodes windows-1256 and iso-8859-6???
let's say there are two different folders inside locle, one to support windows-1256 and the other to support iso-8859-6.

working goes on in v1.4.4 translation.

regards

Hello,

i dont support 1.4.3 langpacks anymore.

Well, you could support both encoding, but i suggest only to support iso-8859-6 or utf8.

But thats your choice, because you will have the double work.

I answered to you mail.

For the others... there is currently no maintainer for this or any other arabic langpack :(

If someone wants to make an update i would be happy to assist in any way.
Feel free to contact me.
