Hi all, After following various PHP mailing lists for about two years now, I'd like to get a bit more involved. In the past I have supplied two patches[1], one of which more or less got implemented, and commented on mailing lists / bug reports a few times. While doing most things in PHP these days, I'm a pretty decent C(++) programmer and believe I might be able to supply more bugfixes for PHP code and/or extensions in the future. I'd first like to get familiar with the community a bit, which is why I'd like to start off with documenting and translating. My native language is Dutch, however, I am able to write English at a fairly advanced level as well. Attached is an English -> Dutch translation of the apc_add function. The Dutch documentation is outdated a lot while the Dutch PHP community is quite big, so I thought it would be a good thing to start with getting it back up-to-date. I will be aiming to provide at least three or four translated functions per day, more when time allows it. Thanks, Peter [1] http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48693 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47752 <apc-add.xml>

Greetings Peter, This all looks good, and it's nice to see you taking the next step. Please apply for a CVS account[1] then start applying patches directly to phpdoc-nl. However, I suggest starting slow because translations will be moving to PO files soon but when done these should convert over fine without loss of data. I suspect the massive PO (gettext) conversion will be completed later this month. Regards, Philip [1] http://php.net/cvs-php
