[Ali Majrashi]

hello,

i love the new changes and all the article interesting to all of us

but i did not read any new news about improvement to language manager and to the RTL skin

plz, ips staff can you improve these 2 area it's important to my community and all my friends boards as will

aslo translating will be easier specially updating it

and remove any duplicate string i keep translating them over and over

add the ability to search in other language than English string only

improve the importing and exporting functions

so many useful topic in this feedback forum read it and implement it :blush:

We have some big plans for the language manager, but I can't guarantee they will make it into 3.2.

We have someone who has offered to assist us with the RTL skin when we reach beta phases, so that will receive some attention, no worries there.

As for duplicate strings, unfortunately it's not possible to completely remove all of them. Sometimes a word that is the same throughout IPB in English may be different when used in different contexts in other languages. I can't pull specific examples off the top of my head I'm afraid, but we've received bug reports about this in the past, so when a string is used in different places we try to give different language keys for it so that all languages can ensure it shows properly for them.


The other suggestions I agree with and are on our plate.

Great with the plans for language manager.

I agree that different languages uses strings differently. And it gets more complicated with tense and plurality. This is the case for quite a few strings in the translation that I have made.
