Hi,

I just discovered Eleanor CMS only a few days ago, and I was literally conquered by the simplicity, the beauty and the effectiveness of this CMS.

I'm french and I have to say that I don't understand a word of Russian. (Even my English is not terrible...

However, I wanted to make my contribution to that great script that deserves to be widely known!
I undertook the translation in french, installation and database included.
I am giving you the result of my work (1st test, not error free, of course!)
I uploaded all on Mediafire because I can't attach files over 100KB in this forum, I believe...

eleanorRC4_UTF8_french.rar : http://www.mediafire.com/file/mmyy2agtxdm/...UTF8_french.rar
HTML report comparison between my archive and the original UTF_8 archive : http://www.mediafire.com/file/d2lz55jxj2l/...nor_compare.htm

What I did

1. "/addons" folder:
- All 'french' files created in /addons/adminka/langs
- Corrected the erroneous encoding (for me...) in /addons/fckeditor/editor/lang/en.js
- Created /addons/tinymce/editor/lang/en.js

2. "/classes" folder :
- Modified /classes/class_templates.php, line 349: Powered by replaced with "Propulsй par" (for installation)

3. "/install" folder:
- Modified /install/install.php to translate all display into french
- Modified /install/init.php to add the language "french" and set it as default:

define ( 'ELEANOR_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE', 'french');

and

$MainClass-> langs = array (
				   'russian' => 'Русский',
				   'english' => 'English',
				   'french', 'French',
			   )

(as amended in /config_general.bak)
- Created the files /install /install-english.php and update-english.php
- Modified /install/template/index.php, line 29 to translate: 'Version du systиme '. ELEANOR_VERSION
- Created the file /install/data_install/insert-french.php with the three languages where possible: this is the case for:

($ prefix) blocks
				 ($ prefix) errors_l
				 ($ prefix) menu_l
				 ($ prefix) news_categories_l
				 ($ prefix) news_l: here I haven't translated (2, 'english')...

In this file I set "Mutilanguage" to 1 to allow it at startup otherwise the display is repeated three times (due to my modifications in insert-french.php)
- Replaced 'ukrainian' by 'french' in tables.php
For the rest of the folder, I translated into french... as well as I could! I repeat, I don't read Russian, so I used Google Translator!
- In the /install/lang folder, I created the file: install-french.php, update-french.php and license-french.txt.

4. "/langs" folder :
- All 'french' files created

5. "/modules" folder:
- For each module, I created the necessary "french" files.

I think all is working... but, it's sure that still remains a lot of translation errors and typos...
I hope that someone may wish to focus on my work and make remarks and/or corrections.

In the HTML report file, you will find the modifications on the original files and also the list of the new french created files.

I know that satwarriors has begun this work, we exchanged by personal message.
I hope that my work can help him.

Perhaps it's also on the board a Russian who speaks french?

Still congratulations for this magnificent CMS!

If I can help, it will be pleased ... despite the language barrier...

In the expectation that someone read me ...
Best regards,
Gil64

Note: it's a pity that in the database it is not expected to switch all data between different languages!
Maybe in future versions?...
The CMS should be known and translated into as many languages as possible, ithe greatly deserves

A last word... Do you plan to create a fench forum here ?

Yes, thank you with your contribution. I have talked with satwarrior lately and know that he was planning to upload his translation soon, but i think that together you can make a great translation.

We are planning to create an category for french, ukraine and english speaking users.
But nothing really serious. I don't understand french so if any of you are interested we will be looking for moderators to moderate french category.

If you are interested in creating french community, you are welcome, and we will help you as we can.

Btw, soon some bonuses will be provided to translators, your work wont be unnoticed.
And please upload it over here http://forum.eleanor-cms.ru/index.php?automodule=downloads
Because it will most likely be lost.

Thanks, I will work with satwarriors.

I will see with satwarriors..
I'm interested to moderate a french forum if you create it...

I know that Mediafire links will belost so I tied your link to upload my files.
But I can't connect !
ЁPerhaps I haven't the permission set toaccess this module ?
I get this error :
Обнаружена ошибка. Если вам неизвестны причины ошибки, попробуйте обратиться к разделам помощи.
Причина:Вам запрещено использование этой функции форума
I think this means I have not access ???

Yea, that means you have to register site..
I have made an exclusion and changed your group to Eleanor User, try to upload once again.

Yes, I can access now.
But where I can upload ? For me is like chinese !

Here, I think :
http://forum.eleanor-cms.ru/index.php?auto...idx&cmd=new

But the form is in russian... I will take long time to translate all sentences from Google translator ! And I will surely make mistakes!

Do you have an english translation of this form ?...

Nope, no english form.
I can help you a little bit with this.
1. Name
2. Category - Choose Языковые переводы
3. Shortened description.
4. Full description
5. Version (No need to touch)
6. Demo (No need to fill but having one would be great)
7. File location, skip the first field and click the browse button on a second field instead.
8. Mirrors
9. License (No need to fill this)
10. Price (No need to fill if free)
11. Link to purchase (No need to fill if free)

1st button to submit.

We will try to make site more comfortable for english speaking users later, but developer says that it will most likely take a lot of time to remake site so most likely there will be no multilangual site, just an category for english speaking users and another one for french and ukraininan.

I will most likely create all the categories tommorow so i will assign you moderator on the category.

I have just talked to developer and he said that your translations will be included in RC5, but only if all base modules will be translated.

Ok, but the translation has to be tested before !

I just installed on local server with XAMPP !

As said before, i don't understand french so you will have to be the your own tester.

gil64,
good
