Is it possible to download the translations even though the are not 100% or do I have to wait until they are finished?

Yeah. But better login with your Transifex ID and fill the missing fields, those languages are taken from current Download/Languages page from this site.
Another option is:
Nicolas u have to mail all translations authors to update the missing fields in they're translations. If someone not do this in 2 weeks, translation will be counted as abandoned and we will look for another maintainer.

I have now signed in for Transifex - but how do I find HikaShop there?

Well, check them
in French 1 missing - Advanced checkout worflow edition
(even with bug within the English file, it's WORKFLOW)

in Japanese 4 missing
- Show delete icons during checkout
- Debug
- Refresh IPs
- Advanced checkout worflow edition (with same bug)

That's why I said in first post, missing strings are between 1 and 20 in some languages, not everything was placed after ;Added in x.x.x version.

For me there are a missing strings, for Transifex too, for WinMerge ( www.winmerge.org ) - which does the same work as Transifex, just a bit lower; too

Transifex is faster, specially if there is a url for auto-updating the language files. Instead to upload en-GB file for every new release, this can be done via URL. I usually use GIT Hubs for .POT files. Saves me a lot of time, when (for example) GNOME extension developer did correction to the code and language, he/she submit it to the selected GIT hub and Transifex instantly takes it to the template.

Eg. if you have hike 1.5.5 installed somewhere, Transifex will import them to the template. Something like demo.hikashop.com/components/com_hikashop/language/en-GB/en-GB.com_hikashop.ini.

Another good point is Translation Memory, not currently applicable for any Joomla! extension developers.
If the string:

DEFINE_ARTICLE is mention let say for example drupal.pot (for 7.9) and the same DEFINE_ARTICLE is used in WordPress, translators will avoid double typing for something that's already translated. In past when J! 1.5.x was more actual, there was some standards and some strings was just avoided in the language files and was used the build in strings.

Eg. There is Ordering in HikaShop which is different then J! core files. But this not affect TM at this moment, only if u start 2nd extension, and some of the strings used in HikaShop are used in the new one, then TM will apply.

For the other three strings in japanese, it's a miss I didn't see when editing them.

Now transifex fully support 1.7, and 1.5 don't have problems if the strings are starting and ending with "

in russian localization problem with variable "Name" how can i see you use this word in "Registartion form" and in "Cart" maybe in another places but in translation the word has different values, now:
in "Registartion form" = Name - Название (wrong)
in "Cart" = Name - Наименование

better
in "Registartion form" = Name - Имя
in "Cart" = Item(s)\Product(s) - Товар(ы)

шт russian localization file in few places wrong translate and sometime missed letters in translated words

in admin panel was confusion when rename "products cataloge" (in explorer tree) that parametr changed in both menu categories (Products and Categories) i think better was use "Products List - Список товаров" and "Catalog Categories - Каталог категорий" in menu and if not problem fix that in next release - if you rename folder in explorer in one menu that not changed in another

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback.

I couldn't find Наименование in the Russian translation file of HikaShop. I only found Название
Does that make any difference ?

Actually, the name field on the registration uses the same translation key as the other places where you see "name" so it won't be so easy to change. There is no "generic" term for "name" in Russian ?

I think better delete this row because (Name = First Name) or my logic wrong?)
optimal we need for registartion:
login
email
pass

than :
First Name
Last Name
(Midle)Name
address

There is a text override.
But for e-commerce solution, First, Middle and Last name are more important, then login, email blah, blah, every anonymous user can register there without providing valid data. And what, shop owner have to mail/call every anonymous after registration to complete they're data ?

What if the user dada, with pass dada1 and email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. sign up and order products with stolen PayPal account from your site ? You automatically get involved in this theft. Then bad rating on WOT, no buyers, problems with the authority etc.

Nicolas u messed up the original file again, what I've said about avoiding double quotes.
Every new string is double quoted, full of empty definitions.
Please fix it
- No Empty com_hikashop_definitions
- Convert it to UTF-8 and remove double quotation, by adding _QQ_ for the quoted text.
This file is not usable even on en-GB only installation.

"Compare limitation" in translated file will come as ""Compare limitation"" - Useless by J! 1.7

Current source file brake up every translation done after it. Double "" makes it unreadable in 1.7 and 2.5 environments.
Update it as I wrote already in the beginning of this announce. There was several rules which have to be followed.
Then reupload it to transifex and make announce with the excuses to those which lost time to translate the double quoted strings and to fix them, manually or via Tx interface.


Anyway, due this bug, the following things should be done:
1. Reupload the original en-GB file
2. Reupload every single translation from 1.5.4 (they're was ok)
3. Make the announce (every time u change the language files, so the translators to get informed about changes)
4. Monitor translations, specially yours, JP and FR
