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

Here's a sample coming from the it-it package (you can use the shell script on this page; a php script should be coming soon):

.
|-- fp-interface
|   `-- lang
|       `-- it-it
|           |-- id
|           |-- lang.admin.config.php
|           |-- lang.admin.entry.php
|           |-- lang.admin.main.php
|           |-- lang.admin.maintain.php
|           |-- lang.admin.php
|           |-- lang.admin.plugin.php
|           |-- lang.admin.static.php
|           |-- lang.admin.uploader.php
|           |-- lang.admin.widgets.php
|           |-- lang.conf.php
|           |-- lang.contact.php
|           |-- lang.date.php
|           |-- lang.default.php

    |-- archives
    |   `-- lang
    |       `-- lang.it-it.php
    |-- calendar
    |   `-- lang
    |       `-- lang.it-it.php
    |-- categories
    |   `-- lang
    |       `-- lang.it-it.php
    |-- lastcomments
    |   `-- lang
    |       `-- lang.it-it.php
    |-- lastentries
    |   `-- lang
    |       `-- lang.it-it.php
    |-- lightbox
    |   `-- lang
    |       `-- lang.it-it.php
    |-- prettyurls
    |   `-- lang
    |       `-- lang.it-it.php
    `-- thumb
        `-- lang
            `-- lang.it-it.php

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

        echo USAGE: makelangpack LANG
        echo Where LANG is a locale, as in en-us, it-it, de-de etc.
