====== Lang Pack Guidelines ======

Language files should be encoded in **UTF-8 (without BOM)**.

A lang pack should partially reproduce the fp directory structure, so that the contents of the decompressed archive can be safely dropped into the flatpress installation dir

===== Sample layout bundled with Flatpress 0.804.1 Vivace =====

Here's a sample coming from the en-us package which is bundled in Flatpress 0.804.1 Vivace (you can use the shell script on this page; a php script should be coming soon):

===== Shell Script =====
Usage: ./makelangpack LOCALE

where 'LOCALE' is the locale id of the target language (it-it, en-us, de-de... etc)

put this script in the same dir where you have flatpress/ 

this script will create a lang/ dir with all of the language files; the script will attempt to create a fp-lang-$LOCALE.tar.bz2 file, you can anyway zip or tar the lang/ dir on your own.

PS: I know, this code sucks :D ~~NWM

<code bash>
#!/bin/sh

ROOT=`pwd`
CURRENT=$ROOT/flatpress
LANG=$1
DEST=$ROOT/lang

if [ -z $LANG ]; then 
        echo USAGE: makelangpack LANG
        echo Where LANG is a locale, as in en-us, it-it, de-de etc.
fi

rm -Rf $DEST
mkdir -p $DEST/fp-interface/lang 

echo COPYING MAIN LANG FILES
cp -Rf $CURRENT/fp-interface/lang/$LANG/ $DEST/fp-interface/lang/
echo DONE
 
mkdir $DEST/fp-plugins/
echo COPYING PLUGIN LANG FILES
for A in $CURRENT/fp-plugins/* ; do
        if [ -e $A/lang/ ] ; then
                THEFILE=`basename $A`
                echo  $THEFILE : COPYING LANG FILE
                THEDIR=$DEST/fp-plugins/$THEFILE/lang/
                mkdir -p $THEDIR
                cp $CURRENT/fp-plugins/$THEFILE/lang/lang.$LANG.php $THEDIR
        fi
done
echo

echo CREATING PACKAGE

tar cjf fp-lang-$LANG.tar.bz2 $DEST

echo LANG files for $LANG are in $DEST
