Hi,

Michel Gagnon have reported an issue with the french translation with zenphoto 1.4.1, but I create this new topic, for french user of zenphoto.

there is an opened ticket http://www.zenphoto.org/trac/ticket/1918, and I have saw a discussion about it on zenphoto-translate.

so, can I download the latest night buid (zenphoto-2011-06-28-trunk.zip for exemple) to have a fixed issue of this translation issue?

thanks in advance for the response.

    I think so. You should be able to use just the newer translation file with the standard 1.4.1 release.

    Quite easy to fix it. You have to convert twice to UTF-8 encoding the locale file :

    …\zp-core\locale\fr_FR\LC_MESSAGES\zenphoto.po

    I used scite (text editor) to do this. http://opensource.ebswift.com/SciTEInstaller/

    How to proceed :
    1) open the file in scite
    2) Menu File > encoding> utf-8
    3) ctrl + A ; ctrl + C
    4) new scite document
    5) ctrl + V
    6) Menu File > encoding> utf-8
    7) save and it's done

    It should actually not necessary to do that. After parsing the Zenphoto files using Poedit (or else) with the proper catalog setting it should do all that. At least I never had this issue with the translation maintained by myself.

    maybe I don't understand.
    I have downloaded the official release 1.4.1 by following the link http://zenphoto.googlecode.com/files/zenphoto-1.4.1.zip.

    but the problem is still the same.

    which "standard" release should I download ?

    The French translation is weird in the official release (*.zip or *.tar.gz). I have installed ZP despite the setup was affected. No way to fix it, while and after the setup. Fixing with scite takes less than 5 minutes.

    NB : I didn't know poedit.

    The correction for this (and for anything that gets fixed) is found in the nightly builds. So download the nightly build and install it.

    Sorry my method doesn't work and I really don't understand why. But I am still 'tweaking' the .po file et compiling the *.mo

    While browsing the back-end, sometimes encoding is good sometimes encoding is weird again. I purged my browser cache. Strange behaviour.
  • binoyte Member
    OK, translation files in the nightly build work fine.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Same behaviour after 1.4.1 update.
    Using nightly build's translation solved the problem.
    Thank you for posting!
