[eGroupWare-translation] Swedish translation

[Daniel Tamm]

Hi.

My name is Daniel and I am using eGW for our school in Sweden
(www.kvarnhjulet.se). Yesterday evening, when I was working on the
migration of our calendar to eGW and SiteMgr, I realized that the
swedish translation was neither complete nor sufficiently accurate. I
have now updated the swedish translation for the calendar module in our
installation and will probably do so even for other modules. I would
really like to share this work and make the official swedish translation
more usable and complete.

I do have no problems with the translation module, but I have not yet
worked with diff files which apparently are the way to go for posting
updated translations. Maybe there is a guide on how to use that tool?

I also saw that there already are 3 other swedish translators. Maybe you
want to contact me so our work does not interfer unnecessarily.

Well, in the case of lang files, diff is not the best way, and it's
easier for me to just replace a file that patching it, together with
that the source file could be different to the existing, or the diff
could be generated in a wrong way, so what I usually tell people is to
pack their lang files and upload to the tracker as a patch, specifying
the version they are for. The pack should be generated from the egw root
tree, what would include the necessary tree for every file.

You have done it perfect by suscribing and emailing here, and this is
the point for translators to contact. Now, you have two choices (not
excluding each other) in order to quickly update the translation:
- As said above provide the files in egroupware tracker, or
- you can ask to contribute online by using the translation tools in an
official egroupware installation specific for translators, so the only
extra step would be to ask an admin to commit your updates from there.
In this case, let me know your desired login and I'll send you privately
your credentials.
