Question about the french translation

[macadoum]

Hello,

I saw a lot of translations strings like this in the fr-fr file:

'act_edit' => 'Éditer'

'moreopts' => 'Plus d\'options'

Is is still something needed today or is it just an old style of special character translation for SEO or Html ?

'act_edit' => 'Éditer' would be easier to read.

As a comparison, I looked at the greek and danish translations and there is no special encoding character used, so I wonder if it would be useful to change that is the french translation ?

Hello Macadoum,

welcome aboard.
FlatPress supports the French language in the character set encoding UTF8 and iso-8859-15. You can change the character set encoding in the admin area in the "Options" panel. I think that such special character translations are necessary in the character set encoding. See readme.md

You can send me some customized language files here or via Github. I will then test whether the display is still correct in both character set encodings.

With best regards
Frank

Welcome to FlatPress

Just a note on this: While

Code: Select all

'Éditer'

should work just fine,

Code: Select all

'Plus d'options'

will crash the code. The single quote ' is used as string delimiter here; if you want to have it as a character within the string, it must be escaped with the backslash. PHP allows for double quote as string delimiter as well, so one could alternatively go with

Code: Select all

"Plus d'options"

All the best
