Translation time!
Ok, so with the 1st non-beta release about to come out. I am going to start my guy on the translations. I know that Rack has already put a great dent into them, but I see it as a time to start getting organized and combining both sides into action here.
We are a combination of many countries at crystalkoi, and I do most of the development, so my guy who is Japanese will report to me. I will upload the translations we finish to the new menu system, and I would like to ask that everyone to do the same if they can.
I know Rack that you have your site in Japanese. But if we can create a common link between them that would be great. I often see a lot of open source projects in Japan that try to branch away from the original source and I hope that doesn’t happen here. I can see the need to keep documents and menu system’s in the users 1st language, but if we can keep the link between other users and Japanese users, I think it will be a better outcome.
So lets link up people, and get going on this. Rack, you have done the most work, so if you can give us a little update here, that would be great.
Regards,
CKD

Downloaded and installed the ja_jp directory from the SVN. Should I have install the design directories form the SVN also? So far it looks great.
Is it possible for me to leave the admin panels in English and show the frontend in Japanese? Or are the lanugage files not split in a way that I can put english version for the backend and Japanese for the front end? I would much prefer to learn Magento in English before trying to use the Japanese menus.
Cheers
Grant

I am going to try and point you in the right direction here. I would write it all out, but there are many areas in the wiki, forum...etc. That can help you out, and like they say...teach the man to fish!

It is good suggestion.
Today, I’ll modify SVN directory tree to separate language files and template files.
And also frontend template and admin template, too.

Rack

Sorry, I was wrong.
The SVN repository is already separated.
If you want to check out only language files, you should do this.
svn co http://www.magento-jp.com/magento_jp/trunk/app/locale/
Also, you want to check out only frontend template or admin template, you should do this.
svn co http://www.magento-jp.com/magento_jp/trunk/app/design/frontend/
svn co http://www.magento-jp.com/magento_jp/trunk/app/design/adminhtml/
But now, template name is “default”. It has to change. So, I will change it today.
