Try replacing the function bb_since with this and let me know if translation works better for you then:

function bb_since( $original, $do_more = 0 ) {

$today = time();



if ( !is_numeric($original) ) {

if ( $today < $_original = bb_gmtstrtotime( str_replace(',', ' ', $original) ) ) // Looks like bb_since was called twice

return $original;

else

$original = $_original;

}



// array of time period chunks

$chunks = array(

( 60 * 60 * 24 * 365 ), // years

( 60 * 60 * 24 * 30 ),  // months

( 60 * 60 * 24 * 7 ),   // weeks

( 60 * 60 * 24 ),       // days

( 60 * 60 ),            // hours

( 60 ),                 // minutes

( 1 )                   // seconds

);



$since = $today - $original;



for ($i = 0, $j = count($chunks); $i < $j; $i++) {

$seconds = $chunks[$i];



if ( 0 != $count = floor($since / $seconds) )

break;

}



$trans = array(

_n( '%d year', '%d years', $count ),

_n( '%d month', '%d months', $count ),

_n( '%d week', '%d weeks', $count ),

_n( '%d day', '%d days', $count ),

_n( '%d hour', '%d hours', $count ),

_n( '%d minute', '%d minutes', $count ),

_n( '%d second', '%d seconds', $count )

);



$print = sprintf( $trans[$i], $count );



if ( $do_more && $i + 1 < $j) {

$seconds2 = $chunks[$i + 1];

if ( 0 != $count2 = floor( ($since - $seconds * $count) / $seconds2) )

$print .= sprintf( $trans[$i + 1], $count2 );

}

return $print;

}

Hmmm, that’s lame. We should be using the plural translation functions there I think. I’ll look into it.

Hi,

I started investigating possibilities of translation bbPress to Polish. This language along with quite a few non-germanic languages has quite complex plural forms (3 forms instead of just 2). Not getting into much detail, because of the way functions.bb-core.php hardcodes seconds, hours, days… names it’s hard to do a proper translation.

To do it right I’d need a function that uses “%d month” and not just “month” or “months” as defined here:

// array of time period chunks

$chunks = array(

array(60 * 60 * 24 * 365 , __(‘year’) , __(‘years’)),

array(60 * 60 * 24 * 30 , __(‘month’) , __(‘months’)),

array(60 * 60 * 24 * 7, __(‘week’) , __(‘weeks’)),

array(60 * 60 * 24 , __(‘day’) , __(‘days’)),

array(60 * 60 , __(‘hour’) , __(‘hours’)),

array(60 , __(‘minute’) , __(‘minutes’)),

array(1 , __(‘second’) , __(‘seconds’)),

);

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Since there is a number a languages with more complicated rules then English, the .pot file is required to do a proper translation. Whom could I ask to get an answer if/when the .pot is going to be available?

[Arturo]

without the pot for the 1.0 version u’ve made the translation?

[Markus Pezold]

Thx for the new 1.0 translation. Great Work.

[wiseacre]

I have some questions about translation files.

1 Who can upload .po and .mo files?

2 How we can report “bugs” in translations?

3 Who decide is this a bug or not? Some specific knowledge is needed, but http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/pot/tags/ is the official place for download …

[taboo]

Yeah, no new pot = no new translations

[Göran]

Thank you! Is it with bbPress 1.0 possible to register users with Swedish names like Göran?

You can download it in URL below.

There maybe still have some translation bugs. So please let me know and I will fix it.

[taboo]

Thank you!

[Sam Bauers]

@arturo84

I’ll email you some info on possibly taking over that translation.

@the_Wish

Normal progression is alpha to beta to RC. We skipped beta to go straight to RC.

[Arturo]

@Sam

thanks, i’m waiting for the pot.

how can I do to upload it in the repo? I can have access? There are other projects for bbpress Italian “under constructions” for years and I want start my own with my other project BP IT and WPMU IT, so if is possible i want upload the files to maintain the translation update.

thanks for the reply.

[Sam Bauers]

I’d say about 50% of strings are the same. About 25% of the strings have changed a little bit. About 25% are completely changed or new.

Most of the work will be copy/paste from your old translation files.

[taboo]

Hello,

I help running a small forum in Polish (forum.vulvodynia.pl) and I consider going from v0.9+ to v1-RC. Yet as I have a translation for v0.9 I suppose I would have to do a new translation from scratch. So this substantial amount of work make me think if the traslation file (.po/.mo) stays substantially the same when upgrading versions. Does it? And if not, is there a way to translate only the new data strings?

I know I’m lame at this, sorry.

[Markus Pezold]

Hi Sumit,

i have the same problems today … the problems lies in the msig_plural-Tag in the POT-File.

Poedit must have the right configuration in the catalog settings to work with the plural forms.

For a german translation the Plural-Forms is: nplurals=2; plural=n != 1;

#: bb-admin/content-forums.php:46

#: bb-admin/index.php:23

#, php-format

msgid "%d topic"

msgid_plural "%d topics"

msgstr[0] ""

msgstr[1] ""

I have finished a Swedish translation based on a .pot file found in Subversion repository, specificially revision 438 if memory serves me right. Info in Swedish about the translation and how to install it can be found at: http://luftslott.org/2009/06/ny-svensk-oversattning-av-bbpress/

The actual translation files, both .po and .mo, cna be found at: http://dropbox.jobjorn.se/bbpress-sv_SE.zip

Actually I just finished a Swedish translation file. I’ll post it in here within the hour or so…

[rafff]

Why this translation can’t be in the official package version of bbPress?

Was curious what the message said, so plugged it into Google Translate:

Title: Download bbPress 1RC2 Translation Castilian / Spanish

Now you can download the translation of bbPress to castallano Spanish version of the new 1RC2.

Found in the downloads section http://www.buddypress-es.com

Alongside this, you will find translations of BuddyPress 1.0.1 and WPMU 2.7.1
