[pmwiki-users] Translating pmwiki and utf8 bug

[Clytie Siddall]

Hello everybody :)

I'm an entirely new list-member, so please forgive any remaining  
shrink-wrap tatters and lots of remaining ignorance. ;)

Starting by trying to translate the Debian-Women wiki, I wound up at  
pmwiki adding to the bug on odd utf-8 characters not being displayed  
correctly. <fume>

Then I started looking at translating pmwiki itself into my language.  
I hope you don't mind me asking a question about the translation  
process here: I couldn't find any other option.

In the XLPageTemplate, most strings are in this format:

  ### search strings
   'Search' => '',

and the translator simply fills in the translation between the two  
single quotation marks to the right.

However, there are several strings which look like this:

   'SearchFor' => 'Results of searching for <em>$Needle</em>',
   'SearchFound' =>
    '$MatchCount pages found out of $MatchSearched pages searched.',

These strings don't show you where to input the translation, and  
there are two original strings to each line. What is the translator  
supposed to do here, please?

Thankyou for any help you can offer with this. I hope to be able to  
encourage translators of other languages to work on pmwiki, and it  
would help if I had some idea what I was doing... ;)
