Hi!

I've just begun to translate the "buddylist" module to brazilian portuguese, but wasn't able to activate my translation.

I have exported the pot file with potx module, done some translations with poEdit, saved the result with the name of pt-br.po, and stored it in my site's modules/buddylist/po directory.

Unfortunately, my translations are not being shown in the site. Have I missed something?

Regards,
Carlos.

Is the locale module already enabled and have you already created a Portuguese language enabled and default in /admin/settings/locale? This is absolutely necessary.

Then, in the /admin/settings/locale page, you can select the "Import" tab and import it.

Or you can ask for a CVS account and contribute it (or perhaps you can attach it to an issue of that module and ask the maintainer to put it in the CVS.

Hi!!

Yes, I have enabled the locale module, and already imported the brazilian portuguese core translation. This is all working fine. Should Drupal understand that, if I have chosen brazilian portuguese as my default language, than it should automatically look for pt-br.po files of all modules? Or is there another setting that needs to be done?

As for the CVS account, I have read about it, but I would like to test my translation first, and then contribute it to the community. I think this is the way to be done, right?

Thanks again..
Carlos.

Hi!!

Just figured it out, by better reading your message. I have to import every "po" file for each module, right? I first thougth that Drupal would search it automatically inside the "po" directory of each module ...

Thanks for your help!!
Carlos.

Good, so everything worked.

For now we still have to import po files manually to the proper language. Actually there is the autolocale module which can download and import all available translation files of all modules in your language without asking you anything, but some prefer to know what they import.

They say that language support in Drupal 6 will be much better -- we can wait.
