How can we translating Chinese langauge file in umbraco?
Hi ,all
I'm translating Chinese for umbraco ,but I can't found chinese file in this path "umbraco\config\lang ", how do I resolve ? or What tools can be used ?
"<language alias="cn" intName="Chinese (cn)" localName="Chinese" lcid="" culture="zh-CN">" , in this code , How do I write? I'm in a hurry,
The language files in the umbraco\config\lang path are used for the text in the Umbraco interface.
I have not tried it, but in theory you should be able to create a new zh.xml file by copying the current en.xml file and then translate all the items into chinese. ( I am assuming the XML will support the chinese character set, but I have never tried it, maybe someone else knows the answer to that? )
In the web.config file you will then need to change the default UI language:
<add key="umbracoDefaultUILanguage" value="en" />
To:
<add key="umbracoDefaultUILanguage" value="zh" />
If you do manage to get this working it would be good if you could post your translated language file somewhere as I am sure someone else will need it in the future.
That is useful to know, I didn't know that existed :)
Just a thought to help Devsteven, if he wanted to add a new language that is not on the list ( and not in the drop down ) could you let us know the right way of going about it, or point us in the direction of some documentation if it exists.
From my limited understanding of Chinese, there are multiple languages ( Mandarin and Cantonese being two main languages, of which each has several dialects ) but they also have multiple character sets, e.g. Traditional and Simplified chinese, so how should these be specified?
Those are all very very good questions, I am not at all familiar with the chineese languages, so I cannot tell if a language is missing or not. So any native Chinese speaking who would have some input on this?
We will move the translation tool to our.umbraco at some point to make it more visible, so if anyone have suggestions on any needed enhancements we could do at the same time, that would be awesome.

There is a language file translation service setup here, if your language is not represented, you can create it and start the translation.
