Language options

[Bok]

Few requests for this. Wouldn't be too difficult..

1. provide an optional dropdown to select the language.
2. store the language against the facebook user
3. Get the translations of the messages.
4. At publish time, decide which language to use and post accordingly.

Fairly easy to do I would have thought...
ID english translation (language X) ....
1 this is english (this is french) etc... needs to be consistant

then it would be a case of <blank 1> instead of what we have now or maybe that would be too hard..

I've made the database changes to save the ISO language code. Currently it's just defaulting to 'eng'.

Next step is to build a table of all the ISO languages (easy enough) and have a column for 'translated' - Only display those in a dropdown via join until translations are made.

An interesting point though is that the facebook app itself has translations available though from what I can see it's just for the webpages themselves.

Howzit going now Bok?
Did you get over the char-code issue?

Sorry I have not completed more of the translations since the 2nd draft.
I've been busy preparing the FDCPS migration to PCZ's server.
When you are ready for some more phrases give me a prod

Well i've been offically slacking, but then again work and the bloody cold and other things have kept me busy..

No, no resolution at all and no replies from the facebook dev forum either...

Gopher, this is the posts made using a different language where they show up completely different to what we put out, not using the characters specified..

Ah right so what linguistically doesn't work right? See what happens when i don't look at the updates and Facebook ****s around with the UI in such away that no-one likes it..
