#22359 [NEW]: Request: Additional release translations, and announcements.php

From: philip at cornado dot com Operating system: all PHP version: 4.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Website problem Bug description: Request: Additional release translations, and announcements.php PHP offers official announcements in English and many times French. This is nice but how about having more translations? This is a phpweb feature request for both a Coordinated Announcement Translation System (CATS :) as well as a more featured release announcement webpage. Some points: - List out volunteer translators for the job (several per language) for later contact - English announcement is given to each team and within a sane amount of time translations are accepted and published - Most likely one volunteer per group will do the translation, sort of a first-accept-first-serve basis? Something... - New page (announcements.php) to display release announcements - *Maybe* also send translated announcements to "officially designated" lang mailing lists (ex. es = lista@phpes.com) and this could also mean auto emails to php.announce and php.general.. Currently translators copy the english phpweb file and create their own, for example: release_4_3_0.php release_4_3_0_fr.php With many translations (or even two) this clutters up the phpweb docroot so how about something more like: // Put translated announcements in a directory include/announce/4_3_0_fr.inc // Display it through one page announcements.php So announcements.php will provide announcements according to REQUEST: - default == latest and en - check for GET version (?version=430) - check for GET lang (?lang=fr) - check my.php.net lang preference - select box for available announcements Discuss :) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22359&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22359&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22359&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22359&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22359&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22359&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22359&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22359&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22359&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22359&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22359&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22359&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22359&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22359&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22359&r=gnused
