Language Files

Editing language files in your way, is a big loosing of time for us - the translators, if u not change it with 0.5.9 I'll give up from sure of maintenance of any further releases of JooBB.

Once when part of language file is finished, the translator have to re-read it once more, to compare it with the english, and to copy and paste missing lines and if not forget something will be nice.

Current way of adding lines to finished parts of the translation is disgusting....

Here how one real language file looks, and it's a pleasure for me to maintain up to date in a minute after the public or before the public release

Awesome localization tools are available

For native Joomla! 1.5 extensions the translators can use an awesome tool, Translation Manager component by Ifan Evans. It simplifies the process and needn't require additional efforts of the developer.
