Some sugestions to improvements in translation/localization

[Alexandre Andrade]

Massimo,

I have a few sugestions to improve the localization of app welcome, so it will be easier to international users:

1. Set the labels of registration table :

db.auth_user.first_name.label=T("First Name")

db.auth_user.last_name.label=T("Last Name")

db.auth_user.email.label=T("Email")

db.auth_user.password.label=T("Password")

2. alter views/default/user.html to :

{{extend 'layout.html'}}

<h2>{{=request.args(0).replace('_',' ').capitalize()}}</h2>

{{=form}}

{{if request.args(0)=='login':}}

<a href="{{=URL(r=request,args='register')}}">{{T('register')}}</a><br />

<a href="{{=URL(r=request,args='retrieve_password')}}">{{T('lost password')}}</a><br />

{{pass}}

3. Alter the menu in portal/views/layout.html to:

            {{if response.menu_auth:}}
            <h2>{{T(Authentication)}}</h2>
            {{=MENU(response.menu_auth)}}
            {{pass}}
            {{if response.menu:}}
            <h2>{{T(Main Menu)}}</h2>
            {{=MENU(response.menu)}}
            {{pass}}
            {{if response.menu_edit:}}
            <h2>{{T(Edit This App)}}</h2>
            {{=MENU(response.menu_edit)}}
            {{pass}}

3. I can't find how translate the h2 title of auth pages, so I can't translate “register”, “login” and “retrieve password “

Look it is generated in code, note in layouts. If someone have some tip, I will be pleased:

It is in the view: user.html

However it is not Internationalisable as-is:

<h2>{{=request.args(0).replace('_',' ').capitalize()}}</h2>

I think this needs replacing with something like:
<h2>
{{if request.args(0)=='login':}}
{{=T('Login')}}
{{elif request.args(0)=='register':}}
{{=T('Register')}}
{{elif request.args(0)=='retrieve_password':}}
{{=T('Retrieve Password')}}
{{elif request.args(0)=='profile':}}
{{=T('Profile')}}
{{pass}}
</h2>
