Carlos Revillo	Tuesday 06 March 2007 3:01:42 am Hi. i'm working with a bilingual site. when i installed Exponential, i choosed castillian as main languages and english (UK) for additional languages. There is no eng-GB folder under share -> translations. So, i made one by myself. but when i upload this new translation.ts file under eng-GB folder, i get a fatal error Fatal error: Undefined class name 'eztstranslator' in /home/desorden/public_html/tanta/kernel/common/i18n.php on line 151 Fatal error: Exponential did not finish its request The execution of Exponential was abruptly ended, the debug output is present below. If i delete this folder, all goes as expected, but i would like to add strings to a translation file or something like that for my eng-GB version of my site. any ideas?
Claudia Kosny	Tuesday 06 March 2007 3:24:05 am Hi Carlos eZ uses eng-GB as base language so usually there is no translation needed. Therefore some of the translation stuff only works for non-eng-GB languages, check e.g. line 121 in the i18n.php. You can do the following a) try to remove all language restrictions from the translation process, which involves some kernel hacking and might cause problems if you don't catch everything b) create a new language which is eng-GB by another name c) base your translations on english as well and don't use translation for the eng-GB siteaccess Option b) creates a bit of overhead as eZ has to translate strings that were already in English Option c) means that you have to go through your templates and translate everything there first Claudia

Hi Carlos

eZ uses eng-GB as base language so usually there is no translation needed. Therefore some of the translation stuff only works for non-eng-GB languages, check e.g. line 121 in the i18n.php.

You can do the following
a) try to remove all language restrictions from the translation process, which involves some kernel hacking and might cause problems if you don't catch everything
b) create a new language which is eng-GB by another name
c) base your translations on english as well and don't use translation for the eng-GB siteaccess

Option b) creates a bit of overhead as eZ has to translate strings that were already in English
Option c) means that you have to go through your templates and translate everything there first
