I have sent to Rickard the tagged files I have created in order to make localization easier for potential translators who use translation memory tools like Trados, Wordfast, MetaTexis, DVX.

If they are not uploaded and anybody wants them just ask.

Just to let you know that the Greek localization is done. Please let me know an email to which I can send the final files.

You can see the first implementation at www.kallia.gr/forum (default language is English). Is there some sort of lang string to change language for guests?

Hello Toby,

Neither of you gets this completely because you have never used translators' tools like Trados and you do not know the methodology ):

These programs apply a style to untranslatable strings (which is visible but does not come up when one opens a translation unit). Thus, it is easy for the translator to focus on translatable text and create a translation memory of all translation units. This is helpful for two reasons: 1. If there is repetition or a partial match this is retrieved by the db. 2. It ensures terminology consistency as you have a concordance option.

In fact, sometimes what we don't know is not strange or absurd: we simply don't know it.

Anyway, I finally found a way:

1. Save files as txt or doc
2. Apply the following regexes in word (having checked the "Use wildcards" option) in order to select untranslatable text and hide it.

^13'*'*=\>*'
,^13
//*^13

The first one selects  this bit:
'Anytexthere'        =>    '

The second one selects  this bit (the end bit):
',

The third one selects  this bit (comment text):
// Anytexthere
