Tiki 4.x - issues that need a fix

Hi,
I just installed a new Tiki 4.x for translating stuff. What I have found so far: - Right after Install, when you should get the __DEFAULT CONTENT__ page I get: "driver not found" (pdo not installed by default, no hint what's the problem, no hint to switch to adodb). The silly thing is that the installation of the database worked. Do we use adodb for installation and then switch to pdo? Can't we have a check for pdo, and if it's not available, stick with adodb? - left menu entries contain ä etc. and some umlauts in admin pages are not properly handled, either. That worked some time ago; I have no idea yet, why those are double html-encoded, example in admin / general: Logging and Reporting PHP Error reporting level: Nur für Admin sichtbar <---- that ü shouldnt be there in plain but executed auch Smarty Hinweise anzeigen Mails in Tiki Logs protokollieren SQL-Abfragen protkollieren - crosslinks below admin menus: links are not separated with default style, shouldn't there be some more space between them or a | or something? Statistiken & Banner: Statistiken Referer-Statistik Suchstatistik <-- that is 3 links, looks like one Oliver ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

The strange thing is: why would a german translator such as you want
to write ä instead of ä ? ä is just a way for people who use the wrong kind of keyboards to write ä in html files. There are no benefits to ä compared to ä for people who can actually type ä. Especially now that everything is in utf-8 (but for ä, it was already possible in iso-latin1). A lot of pages on the web say that ä can be written ä but that's because a lot of pages were written initially by american qwerty keyboard users, it does not mean it's a good idea. The language.php file should contain normal text encoded in UTF-8, not html text which is parsed as html. This has advantages for normal translators (not programmers), because what they type is what will be displayed. For instance, if they want > or &, they don't need to type > or &.

We even have stuff like <em> <stong> <b> <br /> <i> and <a href..> in translation files, so all strings must get translated correctly. > > No? ,) Well, one of my points was: ä is quite correct HTML output. It's also easier to type and easier to read. You are not lazy enough. :) The other point was: it does not make much sense to have HTML output in most places which are translated. > Sure the html tags should not really be in the translation files, but they are. We really should clean that up asap. We have to clean up translations a lot anyway: > > We have > > {tr}some sentence{/tr} > vs > {tr}some sentence:{/tr} > vs > {tr}some sentence{/tr}: > vs > {tr}some sentence {/tr}: > > etc. Thats all pretty ugly stuff. Sentences should be in {tr} blocks completely, so translators don't have to look up in tpl files if something is missing a '.' at the end etc. > > {tr}some sentence:{/tr} should be the choice. I guess {tr}some sentence{/tr}: isnt any good if you want to translate to a right-to-left language or if you want to change the text completely. Yes. And if "some sentence" is translated, both {tr}some sentence{/tr} and {tr}some sentence:{/tr} are correctly translated (it's explained in the top text in language.php). > And when changing things in Tiki, people should always adjust all the language files too. With each release I retranslation many many lines I translated already for the last release. Only because someone changed the casing in headlines or rewrite texts and did NOT update all language files. Yes. How to do it is explained here: http://dev.tikiwiki.org/mass+spelling+correction and here: http://dev.tikiwiki.org/Pending+text+corrections Sadly, I haven't found time to roll the pending text corrections in ages, and I'm afraid that when I don't, nobody else does either (why?)
