The TranslationTools are the reworked and bugfixed version of the language-management developer_tools from Milosch.

The are intended to be used by developers and translators and can make there live a lot easier. See NewLanguageHowTo for informations on how to create translations for a new / not already supported language.

Features:

• show all phrases from the en lang-file, the alreay availible translations and allow to just enter the translation

(no fideling about the format and stuff)

• Search new phrases in the source code, the parser recognices now beside lang(...) the calls of the preference-functions

(see How to hook into Admin and Preferences), seach reports only phrases not in phpgwapi-file for appname=common

• add New phrases to a lang-file (mostly Search new phrases in the source it more convinient)
• change application name of a phrase, eg. to common for the app-title or admin for the bulletpoints in Admin
• lowercase and alphabeticaly sort the phases / message_id (this is part of phpGW's codeing standards)
• write (if webserver has write-access to the setup-dir or the file) or download the changed lang-file
• Update database without runing setup to check / see your translations
• uses multiline textareas for long messages, very convienient
• reads the phrases from the following files hook_{admin|preferences|sidebox_menu|acl_manager} (they contain no lang-calls)
