Localization client

Localization client interface

The primary goal of this module is to provide easy ways to localize your site interface. To achieve this, it provides there noticable features:

  • An on-page localization editor interface, which allows customization of the interface translation right on the actual web pages viewed, using AJAX callbacks. (Drupal 5.x and Drupal 6.x)
  • Instant sharing of localized strings as you input them with a Localization server. (Drupal 6.x)
  • A translation package reimport tool, which helps people upgrading from Drupal 5 and those upgrading their translation packages anytime onwards, to import new and changed translations. (Only Drupal 6.x, look for similar functionality in Drupal 5 to Autolocale)

Future plans include the other way of the connection to a central translation server so translations might be possible to download and import.

Installation

  • For Drupal 5: ensure that you apply the supplied patch to Drupal 5.x, or you'll get nasty PHP errors, and the module will not work.
  • Enable the module as usual. Hand out permissions for users as usual.
  • Have at least one foreign language on the website. The interface only shows up for foreign language pages (ie. not English)
