Hello,
ARABIC YaBBSEHere is the changes I made so far to make the ARABIC version of YaBBSE:
(1)With template.php:
-Changed tag <HTML> to <HTML DIR="RTL">.
-Changed <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> to <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1256">.
-Changed <TD vAlign=center align=left bgColor=#ffffff><IMG alt=logo src="YaBBImages/selogo.gif"> to <TD vAlign=center align=right bgColor=#ffffff><IMG alt=logo src="YaBBImages/selogo.gif">.(2)With BoardIndex.php , MessageIndex.php , Display.php:
-Changed the tag inside (align=) in this manner: align="left" -> align="right" -- align="right" -> align="left"(3)With Post.php:
-Translate the string "Re:".
note: you might put a new text in the .lng file on later releases.(4)With helpadmin.help:
-Complete translation.(5)With help files:
-Complete translation.(6)With all buttons & SELOGO in YaBBImages:
-Redesign and translate the text.(7)With Admin.php:
-Added the tags (dir=\"ltr\" align=left) in the News and Credits sections, cause they are in English and the general layout is (Right to Left), so switch them back to (Left to Right).(8)With help.php:
-<HTML> -> <HTML DIR="RTL">.
-Added: <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1256">
-<TITLE> YaBBSE Admin Help </TITLE> -> <TITLE> Arabic Title </TITLE>.
-<font face="verdana, serif" size="2"> -> <font face="Tahoma, verdana, serif" size="2">.
-<TD> -> <TD style="TEXT-ALIGN:justify">(9)With .lng file:
-Complete translation.(10)With Search.php file:
-Omitted: $query = strtolower($query);
-Omitted: all the LOWER function:(INSTR(LOWER(m.subject),'$query')
note: although this seems to work well with ARABIC, English search will now be Case Sensitive.(11)With Memberlist.php:
-added all 28 Arabic letters in this manner:
$LetterLinks .= "<a href=\"$scripturl?action=mlletter;letter=".arabic in here."\">".ara."</a> ";(12)With Profile.php:
-translated the description text of MSN.
note: you might put a new text in the .lng file on later releases.P.S: If you can speak Arabic , please visit the Arabic YaBBSE and give it a test.
