My problem is. If I back up my databases when using Norwegian Language the screen goes "White" and hangs. ( I can see that the backup is OK when I go back to utilities/backup). This also happen in the front end when I search for a name. But if I change to English language there are no problems. Maybe something is wrong with the Norwegian language file?

As long as I live in Norway I prefer to use Norwegian.  I would like to get out of this problem but I have not the slightest idea where to look. If someone can give me a hint I will apreciate that very much. 

I've only just noticed that the German and Spanish translations of the Chronology mod is wrong.
I've marked the errors in the picture!!

However, "Natural" is not translated in German and Spanish!!!
Where can I change this???

Furthermore, the personal pronouns are not translated correctly!
For the male chronology:

For the female chronology (translation is even worse):

I have attached a file with the translations (German and Spanish) as a text file to insert into the file "chronology_v14.0.0.1a.cfg".

German-Spanish.txt

How can I install or make it work an additional language for an online 'Hompage' (Ver 14.0.2). 

In my TNG Files there is a file with an English package under Languages
*text.php
*data_protection_policy.php
*alltext.php
*admintext.php
*cust_text.php
*cust_text.bak

In the admin area I have opened and saved the language under languages.
*assigned the used language folder
*Display name 'ENGLISH'
*Character set: UTF-8

But what do I have to do now to ensure that the language really works? 

I would be grateful for any information.

Kind regards
Karim

P.S. In the welcome text it works as soon as a use the html umlaut codes such as ä

Any thoughts anyone?

Thanks,

File English-UTF8/admintext.php line 784 reads:

        $admtext['headline'] = "Headline"; //4, 7

This line is missing in file German-UTF8/admintext.php. Maybe it should read:

        $admtext['headline'] = "Überschrift"; //4, 7

Though this line is not relevant for template 14, it's absence produces the error message. I would appreciate if Darrin would insert such a line in the German language (and other languages?) on a appropriate position. In German-UTF-8 it is not line 784! I assume that another variable is missing obove line 784!

Thank you!

When I select Norwegian or English it all works fine. When I select Polish it will display Polish text in about 5 seconds, then it turns into Norwegian without me doing anything.

It used to work fine, maybe the issue was introduced with 13.0.4? but I can not document that. Anyone having a suggestion to investigate and diagnose?

I think we a very limited number of Danes in this forum. Therefore I offer to assist with text parts that needs to be translated into Danish. It might be relevant for mod developers.

Please contact  me, if I can help.

18-06-2021 11:31 (UTC +2): Solved manually via  phpMyAdmin.

I have read this article about language files (text variables) again: https://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php?title=Text_variables_-_explained but maybe there is something I do not understand.

I have three languages on my site: Danish, English and German, but I realize that the German language is not shown correct though all the variables are present in German in the four files in the German-UTF8 folder.

When I look in the tng_eventtypes table it looks for example like this: (None of my 82 events have the German launguage):

(13, 'ADDR', '', 'Danish-UTF8|Addresse|English-UTF8|Address', 1, 0, 0, 0, 'I'),

But it should look like this:

(13, 'ADDR', '', 'Danish-UTF8|Addresse|English-UTF8|Address|German-UTF8|Adresse', 1, 0, 0, 0, 'I'),

1. Isn't the idea behind the languages that |German-UTF8|Adresse should be created automatically?
2. I have tested if I could use Custom Event Types i TNG itself. But maybe I do something wrong, because the the values in tng_eventtypes table do not change. I enter data  as shown on the screenshot. Is that wrong?
3. I have exported the tng_eventtypes.sql and have started to add German manually with Notepad++ for all the eventtypes. Is that stupid? Will that table be overwritten with the next new version and I have the wasted my time?

Please help me! Thank you!

In the attachment I have added the text from the cfg file.

CHM.txt

The file 'data_protection_policy.php' is found in '/tng.stegemueller.dk/languages/English-UTF8' and contains the following:

<?php
$nologin = 1;
include("tng_begin.php");

$dataprotect_url = getURL( "data_protection_policy", 0 );

$logstring = "<a href=\"$dataprotect_url\">" . xmlcharacters($text['dataprotect']) . "</a>";
writelog($logstring);
preparebookmark($logstring);

tng_header( $text['dataprotect'], $flags );

$langfolder = findlangfolder("data_protection_policy.php");

include($cms['tngpath'] . "$langfolder/data_protection_policy.php");

tng_footer( "" );
?>

1. Where can I find the file, where I can make changes in the English version?
2. To me the php script above looks like the file is ready to fetch translations (but I know nothing about php).
3. Where do I place my Danish version? And can template 209 find out, that there is also a Danish version?

Kind regards,
Hanne

SOLVED

Maybe I have completely misunderstood everything about languages...

I have template 209, which supports more languages, and I have installed Danish-UTF8 and English-UTF8. I can change between the languages. That part works fine.

Q 1) After kind advise and inspiration from Rob, I have decided to have my front page translated into English by someone who is better at English, than I am. Where (in which file) do I place the English version?

Edited: okay maybe I have solved Q 1 my self: It as simple as 'choosing 'Create copy in' in template 209?

Q 2) Where do I change the fields/labels? What I don't understand is, that there is only one database - but the fields/labels must be stored somewhere?

I had i.e.. this issue: Even though I chose Danish, I got the label 'Census', but I Danish it should be 'Folketælling', so I translated them directly in the database table: tng_sources fields 'title' and 'shorttitle'. So now it is correct, when I choose Danish in the frontend, but (of course) it is wrong when I choose English.

Can one of you advise me the central link to the explanation about how I should handle the languages?

Best regards,
Hanne,

I searched this form, and the wiki, and came up empty handed. Is there documentation that describes the process for contributing a translation? Things like:

• Is there source control? Where?
• How do I go about submitting the translation sources?
• Is there a review of the proposed additions/changes?
• Test that need running and passing?
• Are translations distributed via some other mechanism?

In my case I have a Bulgarian translation - /languages/Bulgarian-UTF8 set of files. How do I offer them to the project.

Now, on a somewhat tangent topic, I found the TNG localization facilities less than optimal. There were multiple entries for the same key. There's no context provided of what and where the usage would be. In addition there's no way to accommodate the complexity of words used in Bulgarian to describe kinship. To start the language is gender based, so there are different words depending if the subject is male or female. A lot of times I can do away by adding /suffix - съпруг/а. But then there's the case where a totally different word is used for my mother's brother than my father's brother. And it gets more complicated for the in-law relationships. I use one word for my wife's brother, but he uses a different one for me. Perhaps translators for other languages had the same trouble trying to fit into the provided limited set of keys that are based on the more simple English kinship words. Regardless - very interesting in the way languages differ.

I am in the process of integrating TNG on my website using the Kloosterman method.  I have not yet published the page to the public but the integration is working perfectly and uses my web page designs.   The only issue is the language that TNG will present the screens in.  I have set up both French and English on my TNG setup, but is there a way that when you go to the TNG page, it would automatically open on the language that was already chosen by the user with the Language Switcher on the main menu.  Ex:  If the user is on any page in French, when he clicks on my link to go to the TNG page, it would automatically open in French and if he uses the Language switcher to change to English, it would refresh automatically like the rest of the pages.

Thanks

Thank you in advance,

I've just updated to TNG 12 and now the event map is only showing when the site is in english.

In any other language the link is gone.

I checked to find the translation in the language file but i found nothing.

Thanks

This works perfectly but some items are not translated. In the files languages / Dutch or Dutch-UTF8 folders I can not find it. Where can I customize words like: Distance, FatherNr, Number_of_days
