Admin.lng: removed to convert2x.mod (more or less):
Code (Perl)
Select All
'7' => q~Setup and Converter Back-up files~,
 '7a' => q~Language Encoding Converter Back-up files~,
 '8' => q~When you have tested your forum and made sure everything has been converted correctly, you can remove the Setup Utility and your old YaBB back-up files in the Converter folders (if any exist).  This will also delete the conversion programs so they cannot be run again. <strong>Note</strong>: This does not remove files in the ConvertLang folders.~,
 '8a' => q~When you have confirmed that the Language encoding has converted correctly, you can the delete the ConvertLang folders.~,
 '9' => q~Delete old Back-up files, setup, and conversion utilities~,
 '9a' => q~Delete Language Conversion Back-up files~,
 '10' => q~Old Back-up files deleted~,
 '10a' => q~Language Conversion Back-up files deleted~, 



Admin.lng replace the above with:
Code (Perl)
Select All
'remsetup' => q~Setup Files~,
 'remsetup2' => q~You can remove the Setup Utility.~,
 'remsetup3' => q~Delete setup files~,
 'remsetup4' => q~Setup files deleted~, 



remove
Code (Perl)
Select All
'conv' => q~To convert 1x or 2x files to 2.7.00~,
 'conv2' => qq~<strong><a href="$boardurl/Setup.pl?set=1">Go to Setup/Convert</a></strong>~,
  



Language in convert2x.mod
Code (Perl)
Select All
$admintxt{'conv'}  = q~To convert 2.x files to 2.7.00~;
 $admintxt{'conv2'} = qq~<strong><a href="$boardurl/Convert2x.pl">Go to Convert YaBB 2.x</a></strong>~;
 $admintxt{'conv3'} = qq~<br /><strong><a href="$boardurl/tmp/datacheck.txt">View datacheck.txt</a></strong>~;
 $admintxt{'7'}     = q~Importer Back-up files~;
 $admintxt{'7a'}    = q~Language Encoding Converter Back-up files~;
 $admintxt{'8'}     = q~When you have tested your forum and made sure everything has been converted correctly, you can remove your old YaBB back-up files in the 'Convert/' folders (if any exist). This will also delete the conversion programs so they cannot be run again. <strong>Note</strong>: This does not remove files in the ConvertLang folders (if they exist), nor will it affect any files store outside of <strong>this</strong> installation of YaBB.~;
 $admintxt{'8a'}    = q~When you have confirmed that the Language encoding has converted correctly, you can the delete the ConvertLang folders.~;
 $admintxt{'9'}     = q~Delete old Back-up files and import/conversion utilities~;
 $admintxt{'9a'}    = q~Delete Language Conversion Back-up files~;
 $admintxt{'10'}    = q~Old Back-up files deleted~;
 $admintxt{'10a'}   = q~Language Conversion Back-up files deleted~;
  



The above language in the mod isn't quite right yet.

(The Convert2x process is being renamed 'Import' so as not to be confused with the encoding conversion ConvertLang does.)

Do I understand that right now? So the Convert2 should be a mod?

I'm currently leaning that way. With YaBMod, installation is really simple and the main YaBB install is really clean. The downside, it will be more confusing for admins who haven't upgraded their forums in forever and I haven't quite figured out the best way to configure the SVN to make it obvious and easy - like should the 'use German in the converter' be stored with the Languages?

So I thought in the other direction. The existing Convert files in German to write and then a pure German formal version, where then English and German-informal as mod can be added. What do you think?
I have the feeling that with your method, the people could be quite overstrained or then. My opinion is, the installation should be as simple as possible and of course error-free and not begin with a mod. Perhaps, however, I think now in the wrong direction.

This can go either way. People who have upgraded before will be expecting the converters to be installed with the main program. And it will make it easier to go multilingual if the Convert.lng file is installed with the main language Mod instead of installing a Language Mod and then installing a 'add language to converter' Mod.

Just updated the Language Comparison Utility (http://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/langfix/complang.pl for the new version of 2.7 English - Convert.lng is now in the main folder.  But, both Convert.lng and admin/Convert.template will be removed when the converter Utilities get removed. (No need for them to be taking up room when they're done with.)

More changes:

In Error.lng add
Code (Perl)
Select All
$error_txt{'nofile'} = q~No file has been selected for download~; 



This handles an error created when a goofball tries to invoke downloadfile without a file selected to download.

More for Error.lng :
Code (Perl)
Select All
$error_txt{'nogtalk'} = q~Cannot load Google Hangout~; 



Luckily for bug-testing here (not for anybody else), there appears to be a goofball actually going down the subs list (as a guest) to see what breaks.  :Smiley

Hadn't thought of that as a bug test.  Shocked
