question: english manual desired - REDAXO Forum
Hallo,

Wir haben in letzter Zeit festgestellt, dass die Kommunikation via Slack viel schneller und zielführender ist als ein Beitrag im Forum. Aufgrund der neuen und besseren Möglichkeiten der Kommunikation haben wir uns entschlossen das Forum nur noch als Archiv zur Verfügung zu stellen. Somit bleibt es weiterhin möglich hier nach Lösungen zu suchen. Neue Beiträge können nicht mehr erstellt werden.

Wir empfehlen, für deine Fragen/Probleme Slack zu nutzen. Dort sind viele kompetente Benutzer aktiv und beantworten jegliche Fragen, gerne auch von REDAXO-Anfängern! Slack wird von uns sehr intensiv und meistens "rund um die Uhr" benutzt :-)
Selbst einladen kannst Du dich hier: https://redaxo.org/slack/

question: english manual desired

9. Jun 2008, 12:58

Hey everybody!

Would you appreciate an English manual for REDAXO?
Because of being bored all the time I started translating
it into English. Actually, I have not finished translating it
but I think it will be finalised in about one or two weeks.
Untill now I have already translated the first chapter ("First
Steps") but I am not sure whether I should finish it (I do
not want to translate it if I do not have to :D).

Hi.

I think an english manual would be good - it is one of the main reasons that REDAXO isn't that popular outside of Germany.

However, I don't think it is totally necessary to translate everything - a lot of information could be added by english users to a special english section of the wiki.
What *would* be good is a quickstart guide just explaining what modules do and how templates work. This will let people dive in and start to play with REDAXO straight away. - I'd be happy to help out with this - or with translation suggestions.

Also: it would be quite good if the english language files would be integrated back into the Redaxo Installer Package - because there is only German there at the moment (as far as I recall).

I'll also put up my hand to be part of the english support group.

Hey,

yesterday I wrote an e-mail to the REDAXO Team saying that we would appreaciate an English Support Team and that English translations are - more or less - necessary so that everyone outside Germany (or other German-speaking nations) can get introduction and that to REDAXO. I haven't received any answer so far :(

If the REDAXO Team doesn't receive or says that this is not desired we can start an own ("international") website for REDAXO. This should be doable, shouldn't it?

I think internationalizing this project will be a hard job.
So many things have to be translatetd.
I think it will be easier to start the development from scratch as translating everything afterwards.
Concider how many sourcecode-comments have to be translatetd.

An English manual for the basic redaxo functions and all would be highly appreciated!

Right now I'm writing my own little "howto" with screenshots of the parts I'm explaining for a customer in Ireland, wanted to point him to the english pages of the redaxo docu as well, but couldn't find it... ;)

btw: I wouldn't say that internationalising redaxo should be too hard.

I set up the page I'm working on in English for my customer already, using existing language packs where possible and added own translations where needed. I have to track down a few remaining German functions but I dare to say that I got 95% by now and the page is usable by English users.

One thing that would make translating a page (backend) immensely easier and thus of course help a lot with internationalizing Redaxo (it does deserve it, imho - I love working with it!) would be either a centralized lang file (maybe automatically created from the addon language files), so one doesn't have to find them all over the place, OR, even better:

An addon that allows you to see/edit the existing language files right from the backend. I think that'd be brilliant - the strong part of redaxo imho is that everything is so easily manageable in it's backend.

Defenitely this is an issue very much worth looking into for the whole future development of redaxo. :)

Hi Kruge,

we thought about a tool on the redaxo website, which allows some users to edit the language files with a webfrontend.

if you have some optimization for the english language files, we would be happy to apply the changes in the next version.

also your english howtos could be placed on the redaxo website, if you are interessted in.

Thank you,
Markus

A second language for the wiki would be helpful. This way content could be translated and added without creating a multilingual mess. ;)

Up to now I've written "howtos" explaining some of the functions I've set up especially for that page I built, but in the next days I'll also do an explanation for all the backend main features.

Sure - when I'm done I'll be happy to share them with everyone else. :)

Thread is fairly old. Has an English manual been written in the meantime and if so, where can I find it? Even if you only have bits of translation, please upload them. It's better to have something than nothing at all.
If at least 5 people are interested, then I will create a video tutorial in English. Reply to this thread if you're interested. I think you agree that it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to create a video and only like 2 people ever watch it. It might take me a few weeks since I can only work on that in my spare time. My pronounciation is a little poor but I can have siri read the texts aloud. What do you think?

I am looking forward to your responses.

Best regards,
LabKing

Heya guys,
I'm on it... Trying to translate it in proper English (v. 4.3).

Well, priorities first: I will create a simple English installation manual with:
  • Installation
  • Requirements
  • Configurations
  • How to:
    • Templates
    • Modules
    • ...
And a bit more. (Approx till 3/15/13)

Greetings, Max
