Create Translation template for Node Gallery

I guess we need this for proper i18n of this module. So if anybody wants to tackle this - please do it. Can some stuff of #1 be used? Or is this already in 2x?

Could need some advise from the maintainers on this.

Also: Is there some resource how to provide a translation? Would like to help with German stuff.

It's pretty simple. Install the Translation Template Extractor module and run it, saving the output into the "translations" (D6) directory.

This clearly is out of date.

I can provide the german translation. That said, I think we should wait until there is some kind of string freeze, probably until release candidate status.

Currently #612122: node_gallery_access doesn't let users with 'access protected contents' or 'edit protected contents' view password galleries is going to make string changes.

I just for fun gave it a run with Translation Template Extractor and received a bunch of ugly red messages:

I see old stuff in there. The strings have changed in the OCT 28th dev

maybe not, the access patch has yet to go in.

Damn it.

Fixed the translation issues. Still need a template though so I'll leave the ticket open.

Thank you NancyDru for the quick HowTo!
Now I wish I knew a bunch of languages, but I only have English.

here is what I have after the new nga-1.patch was applied from
http://drupal.org/files/issues/nga-1.patch

and with patch for image sorting page from
http://drupal.org/files/issues/node_gallery-603600.patch

so, if these patches go in, this will be ok pending further changes.

It didn't pick up the views.inc..?
also, are the install files to be translated..? they are in there.

Yes, I have all the files as part of my templates.

My mistake, it picked up the strings from views.inc.. but the top of the template has

# node_gallery.token.inc,v 1.2.4.12 2009/10/09 05:29:04 kmonty
# node_gallery.views.inc: n/a
# node_gallery.info: n/a

because there is no ( // &Id: information..) in the views.inc and .info files.

EDIT:looks like these are missing // &Id:[...] too.
# node_gallery_lightbox2.install: n/a
# node_gallery_access.info: n/a

I missed this selection with the extraction part of the translation module.
The OP has all directories included in the one file.
Duuuuu. all I had to do was look!

Hello!
I understood/hoped that this meant that one "Node Gallery" gallery could be used in several languages, but I have the impression it is only about translating words?
Is it possible to avoid having to duplicate each gallery for each new language?
Thanks

Just a reminder,, the pot file has to be re-created with any new release to include any changes.
@maintainers
This should be done last, just before a new release is packaged
-or-
It would help to have a 'string freeze' for node_gallery so folks can work on the translations to include the files with the new release.

@suffering drupal
each language translator has to create the file for their language, then it can be added to the package.
After each language file is added, then it will be available for everyone.

Hi dbeall, thanks for the fast answer, but maybe I have not explained myself well.
I am not worried about translation of the text. I am worried about the "translation" of the images!

Of course, images don't need translation, but it seems that, when you create a new translation, Node Gallery wants you to upload the pictures AGAIN, in other words you're just creating a new gallery with the same pictures.
That's not efficient. And undoable if you want to do some dozen pictures of some hundred monuments in some 4 languages.
So, I hope you can tell me how one can translate a Node Gallery to other languages without having to upload the same images again for each language.
Many thanks on beforehand!

@suffering drupal
sorry, I didn't understand the problem. I would advise opening or creating a new issue for this. If you create the issue, you will be on the receiving end when updates are made..

Title "Multi language Node Gallery without having to upload the same images again for each language."
component "code"
assigned "anonymous"
category "feature request"
status "active"
priority "normal"

As soon as we reach RC-status I can provide a German translation. I don't think we should begin translating beforehand, do we?

@dbeall

done!

@dddave, I know your right, there could be a few changes pop up.
I haven't seen any type of road map for node_gallery to have an idea about releases.
I suppose there is 2, maybe 3 critical RC blockers right now...

I am so impressed when people know 2 or more languages.
I have a rough time with words. My grandmother had a PHD in English, was a professor at Ohio University and traveled to France and Germany to absorb the languages. I must be a disappointment..

I think this can be safely marked as fixed as far as the template goes.
It would be neat to get a few completed translations to add to the module package.
