Post phpBB translations
Now I setup one phpBB forum and I'm extremly frustrated with serbian translatnion phpBB. It is full with gramaticaly incorrect phrases, literal translations, lexical mistakes and missplaces - like person who did it never seen phpBB in action.

It is a shame that phpBB posted that, if you asked me. I'm forced to make my own translation of phpBB. Well... I'll ask the gods there to consider to put my instead of current translation... are all translations of phpBB such crap?

Gosh, now I feel better. :)

You mean the code or the language used on the site?

You can change/edit the language on the site by editing your language file.

hehe. That was the most sensical thing I've ever heard gfree say.

I couldn't comment on the sense of other translations. The English ones are, as expected, pretty much correct.

Are you having to translate the code

IE:
index.php
Code:
define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = './';
include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.'.$phpEx);

//
// Start session management
//
$userdata = session_pagestart($user_ip, PAGE_INDEX);
init_userprefs($userdata);
//
// End session management
//

$viewcat = ( !empty($HTTP_GET_VARS[POST_CAT_URL]) ) ? $HTTP_GET_VARS[POST_CAT_URL] : -1;

if( isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['mark']) || isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['mark']) )
{
   $mark_read = ( isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['mark']) ) ? $HTTP_POST_VARS['mark'] : $HTTP_GET_VARS['mark'];
}
else
{
   $mark_read = '';
}



Or the language file which is something completely different

IE: yourlang_main.php

Code:
//
// Viewtopic
//
$lang['View_topic'] = 'View topic';

$lang['Guest'] = 'Guest';
$lang['Post_subject'] = 'Post subject';
$lang['View_next_topic'] = 'View next topic';
$lang['View_previous_topic'] = 'View previous topic';
$lang['Submit_vote'] = 'Submit Vote';
$lang['View_results'] = 'View Results';

$lang['No_newer_topics'] = 'There are no newer topics in this forum';
$lang['No_older_topics'] = 'There are no older topics in this forum';
$lang['Topic_post_not_exist'] = 'The topic or post you requested does not exist';
$lang['No_posts_topic'] = 'No posts exist for this topic';

No, Im was just wondering. If it was the code I would say good luck, but the language file should be easy.
