Greek translation pack

**gremon** · 2006-03-28, 08:05 PM

Hi, I am Gregory, one of the volunteers for the greek translation of sugarcrm.

I am not a proffessional programmer, but i am quite good with computing in general.

I tried to find a way to communicate with the greek coordinator, but i didn't find any, so i started a new thread for the greek translation.

Waiting for instructions...

Hi gremon,

I found two Greek translation projects:

http://sugarforge.org/projects/grlangpack2006/
(Registered: 2006-01-19)

and

http://sugarforge.org/projects/el-sugar/
(Registered: 2005-06-30)

They have not published any translations yet but have you tried to contact both of them?

If you don't hear from them it is always possible to create new project from scratch. If you choose to do so please take a look this thread: http://www.sugarcrm.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8938

The translation utility by Romain G. is a true time saver. And as you probably have use UTF-8 encoding with Greek language, you might want to ask some advice on how to handle UTF-8 from our japanese colleague Ryuhei Uchida (just see the thread mentioned above).

With best regards

I have translated about 50% of the greek language with the translator tool.

In the translation tool:

I create a dictionary,

I dump the language in a directory,

In Sugarcrm:

I load module --> select the manifest.php file,

and i get the following error:

Error: PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature

Please help!

I get the same error if i try to handle langpack in the translation tool:

Language pack manager --> uploaded --> manifest.php

**gremon** · 2006-03-30, 05:27 PM

And this is my manifest.php file:

<?PHP
$manifest = array(
'name' => 'greek',
'type' => 'langpack',
'is_uninstallable' => 'Yes',
'acceptable_sugar_flavors' => array (),
'acceptable_sugar_versions' => array (),
);

$installdefs = array(
'id'=> 'el_GR',
'image_dir'=>'<basepath>/images',
'copy' => array(
array('from'=> '<basepath>/include','to'=> 'include',),
array('from'=> '<basepath>/modules','to'=> 'modules'))
);
?>

Hi Gregory, please compare your manifest.php file against this example. You can also download different language files from www.sugarforge.net if you want to see more examples. I recall Julian (from SugarCRM team) posted excellent explanation about manifest.php structure and its different settings but I couldn't find it now.

Hope this helps, however.

Best,

Code:

// manifest file for information regarding application of new code
$manifest = array(
    // only install on the following regex sugar versions (if empty, no check)
    'acceptable_sugar_versions' => array (
        'exact_matches' => array (),
        'regex_matches' => array (  0 => '4\\.0\\.1*' ),
    ),
    // name of new code
    'name' => 'xxxx language pack',
    // description of new code
    'description' => 'xxxx translation for SugarCRM 4.0.1',
    // author of new code
    'author' => 'xxxx',
    // date published
    'published_date' => '2006/03/20',
    // version of code
    'version' => '20.3.2006',
    // uninstallable
    'is_uninstallable' => 'Yes',
    // type of code (valid choices are: full, langpack, module, patch, theme )
    'type' => 'langpack',
    // icon for displaying in UI (path to graphic contained within zip package)
    'icon' => 'include/images/flag-fi_FI.gif',
);

                                  'to'=> 'modules',
                                 ),
                          ),
