FAQ 7.2

From PmaWiki

[edit] I want to translate the messages to a new language or edit an existing language, where do I start?

Always use the current SVN version of your language file. For a new language, start from the current english-language file. If you don't know how to get the SVN version, please ask one of the developers.

Please note that we try not to use HTML entities like é in the translations, since we define the right character set in the file. With HTML entities, the text on Java Script messages would not display correctly. However there are some entities that need to be there, for quotes, non-breakable spaces, ampersands, less than, greater than, etc.

You can then put your translations, as a zip file to avoid losing special characters, on the sourceforge.net translation tracker.

It would be a good idea to subscribe to the phpmyadmin-translators mailing list, because this is where we ask for translations of new messages.

See Category:MissingTranslator for list of translations which currently lack a maintainer.
