Discussion

I created this topic due to some people expressing interest in a Japanese translation.

Is anyone interested in a Japanese translation of TWiki?

-- PeterThoeny - 27 Mar 2007

I found someone. Stay tuned.

Attached is the first version, just for testing; proof-reading the text is pending. Could someone with the right environment test if the character set is OK?

This is now in MAIN branch, SVN 13561. Get the latest version from SVN:locale/jp.po

I got this feedback from Joel Nelson via e-mail:

your jp.po file for TWiki has the wrong language name in it.

In the file you submitted, you have

# please enter the name of your language here (written in the native language):
#: lib/TWiki/I18N.pm:293
msgid "_language_name"
msgstr "簡体字中国語"

obviously thats not right. i corrected it locally but im not going to take the time to register and commit the change to the svn server.

correct is:

msgstr "日本語"

and while you are at it, shouldn't it really be named "ja.po"?

Text above has Wikipedia:Mojibake - garbled multibyte chars. The corrected string should read "nihingo" (in Japanese.)

This is tracked in TWikibug:Item5667.
