Thanx for this great module. I just installed the beta version for Drupal 6.3 and it already looks great from the first instance!

Two support questions:

1. The dutch translation nl.po file is included in the beta version however some parts of po-file are translated in Dutch some parts are not . I can change simpleNews settings under 'Content Management' however there is no language setting there. I would expect a language setting under 'Site Configuration' but simpleNews doesn't show up there. Is this a beta issue or am I overlooking something? (I installed the module under 'sites/default/modules')

2. You recommend the Mime-mail module which is not yet ready for Drupal 6. Any idea if this module is on it's way to Drupal 6? I'll ask them directly when you haven't got a clue!

Regards,
Enno

In the latest 6.x-1.x-dev version you will find the po-files in a /translations directory. This is where drupal looks for when a new language or module is enabled.
Install this version, and disable & enable the language (or simplenews).

The Dutch translation of Simplenews is not complete, but you are welcome to translate and contribute it. But note that strings are not frozen until the RC release.

Getting back on this issue.

I installed the dev module insteda of the beta version, with the translations directory, enabled and disabled the simplenews module.

Still some nl.po translations are not translated. some examples might lead you in the right direction.

For example:
- NOT translated -

#:simplenews.module:509;534
msgid "You will receive a confirmation e-mail shortly"
msgstr "U zal spoedig een bevestiging ontvangen"

(= the message that appears on top of the content when a user subscribed for a newsletter)

#:simplenews.module:1541
msgid "Sets the numbers of newsletters sent per cron run."
msgstr "Het aantal nieuwsbrieven dat per cronuitvoering verzonden wordt."

( = cron settings under admin/settings/simplenews/mail)

- TRANSLATED -

#:simplenews.module:581;631;682;694;1679
msgid "Subscribe"
msgstr "Inschrijven"

(= the checkbox the user can check to subscribe or unsubscribe)

#:simplenews.module:79;90
msgid "newsletters"
msgstr "nieuwsbrieven"

(the second tab under admin/settings/simplenews)
#:simplenews.module:1541
msgid "Cron throttle"
msgstr "Afknijpen (throttle) cron"

( = cron settings under admin/settings/simplenews/mail)

Please supply an updated po.file and I will commit it.
Feel free to re-open the issue if you contribute the translation file.

Thanx for yr reply.

The translations I mentioned in my post #3 are however already in the nl.po file, it seems that somehow they are not translated.
Am I right?

Are you sure the strings used in the module match the strings in the *.po file exactly? They might have changed during development while the translation extraction remained the same.

Title: language support for 6 beta3 version » dutch translation simplenews - revisited
Category: support » bug
Issue tags: +dutch, +nl.po, +dutch translation

In addition to above: I checked dutch translations with latest Simplenews release-candidate 6.0.

Erik Stielstra previously suggested the translation bug had to do with other modules.
I installed a fresh Drupal site with no other modules than Simplenews.

Unfortunate still not all nl.po translations are translated. starting with an example might give someone a clue:

#: simplenews.subscription.inc:74
#: simplenews.module:1336
msgid "You will receive a confirmation email shortly containing further instructions on how to complete your subscription."
msgstr "U zult spoedig een se-mail ontvangen, die verdere instructies bevat over hoe uw inschrijving te voltooien."

*notice, the text 'se-mail' is a typing error, will this be adjusted in the next rc?*

#: simplenews.subscription.inc:82
#: simplenews.module:1345
msgid "You will receive a confirmation email shortly containing further instructions on how to complete the unsubscription process."
msgstr "U zult spoedig een e-mail ontvangen, die verdere instructies bevat om de uitschrijving te voltooien."

See attached screenprints: despite a 'full Dutch' Drupal installation, still the english user messages show up.

p.s. I noticed that referred linenumbers do not match the actual linenumbers in subscription.inc and simplenews.module. I.e. should be
#: simplenews.subscription.inc:77, #: simplenews.module:1325 and #: simplenews.subscription.inc:85 #: simplenews.module:1334 respectively?
I tested on this (cleared cache, updated.php 6008 again) but it made no difference...

#p.s. i also notice that the above strings as per XANO's suggestion have been changed as they first read "You will receive a confirmation email shortly".
This however did not seem to solve the bug.

I want to spend time to get this solved and want to help with translations.
So Erik, Xano or others:
- If this gives YOU a clue, then give ME a clue!
- I would also like to know if you are experiencing the same on a 'clean' Drupal Dutch install (with no other modules than Simplenews)

Thanx again/Bedankt
Enno

I tried a clean install with this configuration:

Drupal 6.4
Internationalization 6.x-1.0
Language Icons 6.x-1.1
Mime Mail 6.x-1.x-dev (2009-Apr-15)
Pathauto 6.x-1.1
Simplenews 6.x-1.x-dev (2009-Mrt-25)
Token 6.x-1.11

And it works like a charm. Then I upgraded Drupal to version 6.11 and it still works.

I do have two production sites (Drupal 6.9) that don't work and have the same problems you describe. However, when I disable the Simplenews module and uninstall it (remove the Simplenews tables from the database!) and reinstall it, the problems are gone (after you reset the cache). I'll try to figure out what is causing this behavior, since removing the module from a production site is definitely not what you want to do.

I can't find the reason why the translations don't work, but my guess is the simplenews_snid_tid table. If you empty that table and also empty the cache, the translations suddenly work again.

Maarten,

I had the same issue as you. Upgrading my test install to 6.11 did not solve the issue until I uninstalled the SimpleNews module and reinstalled again. Now the Dutch translations do show up.

Note for Erik or other co-maintainers, please see my comment under #8
*notice, the text 'se-mail' is a typing error, will this be adjusted in the next rc?*

Regards,
Enno

I got virtualy none of the Dutch translations, but got an error 'access denied' on the batch page after enabling the module, after I fixed this the translation was imported.
