Web GUI in Spanish

Emab

I think that remove all the text from the page to make it loaded from an external file, is not so good during the develpment.
My idea is to leave the english text and add a tag to identify that:

Old Code:


System: Advanced functions

<form action="system_advanced.php" method="post" name="iform" id="iform">

**Note:** the options on this page are intended for use by advanced users only.

New code:

System: Advanced functions

Note: the options on this page are intended for use by advanced users only.


And, if the language is different from english pars the text to replace the text between the tag.

I know that this is not the best way to do multilanguage interface, but this is the best I can think to do that ad leave easy the development.</form>

What needs to happen is for us to settle down with a template system with gettext support.

Then this is possible but by no means is it easy work.

I don't believe that it is so difficult. I am only speaking of having a webGUI in Spanish. Only that.

We have collaborated in other translations to Spanish of other projects. It is not so difficult. I place you a localization example to Spanish carried out by us: http://www.insidepro.com

It is based it on placing texts like variables.

Then, a called file exists SPANISH.LNG that contains the equivalent of each variable in Spanish. Of course, there is a called file ENGLISH.LNG with all the texts in English. And so forth.

I am willing to pay 200 dollars for this work.

I believe that Pfsense in several languages would be fantastic, and the best firewall in the whole market. With this system, you would find people that wanted to translate to their language the texts. It is possible that in little time you were able to have Pfsense in 10 or more languages. Something incredible.

It is more complicated for the development, but Pfsense it will win an international prestige that other commercial firewalls doesn't have.

We are working on that as I talk. Is the deal still up?

carlosmesa

Is better because we go up the offer to 600 dollars.

If you are interested you can contact with me in carlosmesa(dot__)carlosmesa.com

I hope Pfsense can be in Spanish some day.

Finally we have taken charge the adaptation from the code to Fernando Lemos, of Netfiler.com.br so that Pfsense can be in Spanish, and in any other language.

Fernando will charge the 600 dollars that we offered for this work.

Thanks to other people that have contacted with me to make this work.

Please note that this situation has changed.

Freekazoide has done all the heavy hitting and implemented all the gettext() changes required. He is now translating to Portugese.

With that said, we need volunteers for other languages. Who wants to help?? Spanish and German are accounted for so far.

Hi,

I can take charge of translating to the Spanish language. Where is the file in English for me to begin to translate to Spanish? I have time for me to be the official translator to Spanish.

Here is the spanish file:

Ok,

I begin with the translation. In some days I will have the translation from this file to Spanish. When I finish, where do I send the file in Spanish?

Yes ! 8)

in file messages.po contains only label of button ou text html, the value of form to be continue "yes", so, you translate only label or text html.
