Mibew Messenger 2.x

The second version of Mibew Messenger utilizes gettext for internationalization and localization.

To create your own translation of Mibew Messenger 2.x you'll have to download the POT file (the latest version is always available here: http://mibew.org/download2) and translate it using your favorit gettext editor.

And there is also a special repository for translations: https://github.com/Mibew/i18n


Mibew Messenger 1.6.x

How to translate:

a) Do it on your web server:

1. Install Mibew Messenger 1.6.x (the lastest version is always available here: http://mibew.org/download)
2. Download newlocale.zip (webim_newlocale151.zip) and unpack it into /locales/ folder on your server.
3. Rename locales/CC folder according to your language code
4. Edit locales/<yourlocale>/properties, last line: update localeid of your locale (ex: English)
5. Make sure /locales/<yourlocale>/properties has write attribute (on the server)
6. Navigate to /mibew/operator/translate.php on your server (translation UI)

-OR-

b) Ask us to setup it for you:

1. Tell us the language you'd like to translate
2. We'll provide the link to translation UI

Next step is to translate the images. You can do it by yourself, or post the translation of all phrases in this forum.

Edit config.php file directory libs to me in Spanish to amend the following lines where you want the language:
/*
 *   Inbox for left messages encoding
 */
$webim_messages_locale = "sp";

/*
 *   Locales
 */
$home_locale = "en,fr,ru,sp,zh-tw";         /* native name will be used in this locale */
$default_locale = "sp";            /* if user does not provide known lang */

Disculpen mi olvido, pero hay que hacer un cambio en el archivo /locales/names/properties y confirmar si tiene la siguiente informacion, en caso de no adicionarle:

encoding=utf-8

bg=Bulgarian
cs=Čeština
da=Dansk
de=Deutsch
en=English
fi=Finnish
fr=Français
he=Hebrew
hr=Hrvatski
it=Italiano
lv=Latviešu
no=Norsk
pl=Polski
pt=Português
pt-br=Português Brasil
ru=Russian
sk=Slovenčina
sp=Español
sv=Svenska

Hi!

I have renamed CC folder to hr (hrvatski - croatian language), uploaded it to server in locales folder and gave it 777 chmod. However, when I go to Localize, there is only English language - twice.

Thanks in advance!

edit locales/hr/properties, replace localeid=English => localeid=Hrvatski.

By default, not-localized strings are taken from locales/en/properties.

[gogz]

Thank you for your fast reply!
I had to add that line - localeid=Hrvatski (hr), because no localeid=English existed in properties file.
