locale

Since I m currently based in France Bordeaux for a six month mission and the entreprise I m working for (MBS Orange/France Télécom) is a french speaking one it was time to learn some french vocabulary. The french in particular have their own word for practicaly each word in the computer/drupa/web/... vocab.

How to update translations with drupal? The core only imports translations when you enable the language. It does not support updating languages.

We all know how to import language translations in the first place. We go to http://drupal.org/project/Translations and pick our translation and we copy the files onto our drupal core.

This first project is used to make your interface localized easier. The second project is an API to look for translatable strings and translatability errors.

locale language files dont get rebuild and they keep generating page not found errors.
Here is a fix to rebuild the lost translation files.

a little module for D6 which
Provides locale admin pages with buttons to rebuild/invalidate js translations.

- enable the module
- navigate to admin/settings/language#js-translations
- expand "JavaScript translations" fieldset
- use either "Invalidate js translations" or "Rebuild js translations" buttons
