Whiteboard
The new expLang subsystem has been created, and the gettext plugins have been added and being used around the system. Next step is to write the language files themselves, and the guts of expLang to parse them.
--------
—Defining and designing the file implementation for ease of use by the translators and to be wicked fast in execution.
—Define and design the Smarty plugin portion.
—Create scripts to
a: do a one-time creative find/replace on all existing i18n calls in php code
b: do a one-time creative find/replace on all existing smarty _TR variables and replace with new plugin call
c: create a script to find all remaining hard coded text in system
d: create a script to produce or update language pack files to accommodate changes/additions in the system.
