Code Styling Project

At many Blogs and forums you can read the same story about localized month name issues if a theme or plugin doesn’t use the WordPress build in functions for that purpose. In most cases this will be roughly handled by just take the setlocale() function and override the OS locale settings.
There are also WordPress plugins in the wild used for blogging multi-lingual. Those plugins mostly set the locale depending on choosen language hardly without any chance to suppress it at backend. Read the rest of this entry »

After i started the plugin project Codestyling-Localization i was impressed how big this will become. In the mean time the functional capabilities have been massiv extended but also the needs the user reported will grow daily.
While the plugin got a spreed at the community, i have to handle a huge number of wishes and reports now. This leads to the fact, that i have to consolidate the development and start a re-write of a new technology version more sophisticated as the concept study version which allows me and the users more flexibility.

The current released WordPress Version newly introduces the feature of revision history tracking and management. It is able to displays differences across revisions visual too.
But the initial developer ignores the fact, that serveral provider doesn’t permit to use the PHP function ini_set() - in this case for temporary change of PHP include_path.

As already shown at older post there is a way permitting user to login and use the Browser administration area in different languages. You can choose the appropriated language at login page and the administration shows up translated at this selected language. This switching has been implemented as WordPress plugin. The version published is only an extraction out of the final release. This reduced plugin beta provides only the backend language switch during logon. If you want change it later, you will have to logoff and logon again. Read the rest of this entry »
