Attachment: Replacing wrong occurrences of 'ß' with 'ss'

I just wanted to patch the TikiWiki core language files to replace all wrong occurrances of 'ß' with 'ss' (new German spelling reform).

See the patch I attached.

Thomas, can you also take a look?

Tobbi: as best practice, try to run "svn diff" from the trunk/ folder. This is just a good convention to help us know what directory to apply the patch from (and in this case also know *which* language.php file you're patching).

Also, I'm thinking maybe you missed a few esszetts, check out line 95:
"The file you are trying to upload is too big." => "Die hochgeladene Datei ist zu groß."

Attachment: German language.php corrected in summer 2009

Thanks for your info, Tobbi!
But this is a really bad situation (for me): I've updated the German language.php file in summer 2009 and translated some strings and corrected many spelling errors. I've sent this file to Chris Ilias at the beginning of September. - Does this mean that my translation was never transfered from staging server to the real SUMO website and Tobbi has done nearly the same work now?

Thomas: How much has the language file changed since you did this update? If you could attach a diff, rather than a regular PHP file, it'd be easier to see what's changed.

Hm, it seems the file was never uploaded to the server: http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/sumo/trunk/webroot/lang/de/language.php and http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/sumo/branches/production/webroot/lang/de/language.php

And strangely the server files have many different strings in comparison the my file. I've no copy of the original file in which I made my changes. So I can't make a diff.

But mainly I changed the following strings:
- inserted many missing "-" in noun compositions (like "Tiki Logo" > "Tiki-Logo")
- some strings used "Du", some "Sie" > changed to "Sie"
- "eMail" > "E-Mail"
- "muß" > "muss"
- "Paßwort" > "Passwort"
- "angepaßt" > "angepasst"
- "Account" > "Konto"
- "Topic" > "Thema"
- "ihr/e/s/n..." > "Ihr/e/s/n..."
- "sie" > "Sie"
- "login" > "Anmeldung"
- "einloggen" > "anmelden"
- new translations like
   "Send a message" > "Nachricht senden"
   "My friends" > "Meine Freunde"
   "Logged in as" > "Angemeldet als"
   "Switch User" > "Benutzer wechseln"
   "Login as" > "Anmelden als"
   "File name" > "Dateiname"
   "Author:" > "Autor:"
   "OpenID Login" > "OpenID-Anmeldung"
   "changed", "removed", "updated" > "geändert", "entfernt", "aktualisiert"
   "Click here to register" > "Klicken Sie hier, um sich zu registrieren"
   ...

After my vacation I will take a look at Tobbis file and do this changes again as far as possible.

Do we have any update on this from Tobbi or Thomas? Is there a merged version of the work you guys did separately, or what else is going on here?

Cleaning up my r? queue until we know what's going on here.

FYI Tobbi is very busy and unfortunately so am I. We will do this work as soon as possible.

BTW we don't know if it's worth to do more work anyway if SUMO will be replaced by something completely new in the future.

We do plan on migrating as much of the interface translation as possible, so work down now will, hopefully, not be lost later.

Bugs in tikiwiki, going away.
