Hi,

You can refer to this pdf as a guide to Alfresco translation:
http://forge.alfresco.com/docman/view.php/156/2038/Swedish%20Translation%20Guide.pdf

I have tried out Alfresco lately, and find it fascinating, it occurred to me I have done little to no work w/ LAMP (Basically I'm an MCTS using .NET for Web Dev).

As I am reading a book I got about Alfresco, I also am considering the Arabic Localization of Alfresco, has there been any progress on this?

Should I email someone? can I help out? and what should I learn to do so?

hope to hear from you all soon

about Arabic localization, I followed same procedures stated in Swedish package:
http://forge.alfresco.com/frs/download.php/450/Swedish-1-Alfresco3-Labs.zip
(refer to readme inside).

Utilizing Omega-T for translating all .properties files for Alfresco messages
(existing in '/messages' folder)
for details refer to: http://www.google.com.eg/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=3&url=http%3A%2F%2Fforge.alfresco.com%2Fdocman%2Fview.php%2F156%2F2038%2FSwedish%2520Translation%2520Guide.pdf&ei=Fyx3SafAHaSLjAf90pHmBg&usg=AFQjCNGje0W9CYx3bnIWSVPb780nUDu09g&sig2=H5ec9BZUd5vkhvm7tJkDhw

Hi all,

you can refer to this tutorial for localizing Alfresco:
http://think-learning.blogspot.com/2009/01/alfresco-localization-tutorial.html

(b.t.w. I'm working on Arabizing Alfresco, but i've problem translating some expressions to Arabic properly.
So any help would be appreciated).

Hi,

Will it be possible to install and check the files (Arabic language support) you have?

I assume you tested these on Alfresco 3.2 version.

Please let us know about the status.

anita_ws

I have a document and I want to search a word in arabic using alfresco 3.2. Does alfresco 3.2 support it? If it doesn't, then which version of Alfresco that support it or is there any additional package that i must install?

munwar

Yes. Arabic pack works great (it needs some minor tweaks though).

We could install and see the labels in Arabic.

I could search in Arabic as well (Title, Description etc)

Try installing the language pack and try out search.

NOTE: Though Arabic labels etc are supported, the support is not 100% (I mean it is not right to left). You still see the menu, editor, user interface etc as left to right.

Hi Munwar,

Have you managed to overcome RTL (Right to Lift) issue in Alfresco Explorer?

Thanks ..
Younis.

hi younis
whats your mean by say

Have you managed to overcome RTL (Right to Lift) issue in Alfresco Explorer?

thank you

Thank you.

hi younis

?

thank you

Yes. But I need to know how could I do it.

misstina_sm

ok
you should go to this Addresh
tomcat\webapps\alfresco\css\main.css
and then do this changes:
body
{
font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background-color: white;
direction: rtl;
}
then clear your IE temporery ,to solve CSS Problem you should change Part in this addres

\alfresco32r2\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\images\parts
let me know if you need any other help

younis15

Thanks for your efforts.

you know what the problem? Alfresco uses inline style heavily and this is not recommended at all, because to change these style (i.e. right alignment) I have to edit all the JSP files .

Thanks…

Hi all

Anyone considered RTL for Share (struggling with it now :x )
(Since Explorer does not offer the features that Share offers' for users)

Kindest regards
Hadi
P.S. Just finished translating explorer (webclient.properties) and share *.properties beta version if anyone is interested
(for community 3.3g).

younis15

Hi all

Anyone considered RTL for Share (struggling with it now :x )

I think it could be changed through the CSS directly in easy way unlike explorer which needs to change inline styles with JSPs file.

Just edit the RTL in the CSS files within the following path: <AlfrescoDirectory>\tomcat\webapps\share\themes\default. for example :
add "direction:rtl" to body tag.

margin and padding (swap value between left and right)
text-align, float (if left make it right and vice versa)
maybe you need to modify "background-postion" of background property for some classes or IDs
.

Hi all

(Since Explorer does not offer the features that Share offers' for users)

I am going to build a correspondence system over Alfresco Explorer. is it good choice or you see share is better and why please?

Thank you…
Younis

hadihadi

Hello,

Explorer does not support much of the collaboration and sharing offered by the platform.
Share, on the other hand, was designed from the start as a collaboration and sharing
client(user gets data-lists,wikis,blogs,calenders,…etc by defaul).

In addition, Explorer is being successively replaced by the Share client.

Q: Noticed that Ur using 3.4d; did U face any Arabic lang. issues with alf3.4d?

Hi Friends,
Me also, i am planning to improve the Arabic package, it should include in addition to the words translation, the Right to Left layout which should be added without affecting the left to fight languages on the same installed alfresco.

If anyone is interested in cooperation, i would be thankful.

Hi Yazid,

In Alfresco Explorer problem is as what Younis said, you need to edit all JSP files, it will take a long time of editing especially if you want to support multilingual interface.

BUT, I solve this problem by thinking about out-of-box solution, using JQuery !

You need a little modifying for some files, Images, add JSs , edit few JSP files.

First in Images, I copied original Image folder to new folder in same path with "images-ar" name, and flip most of images horizontally.

Anyway I uploaded the folder rared:

http://www.4shared.com/file/IjkaMM7F/images-ar.html

just extract it (use extract here) into :

\tomcat\webapps\alfresco‍

Second I add 2 js files, the JQuery framework (download it from http://jquery.com/) and empty JS file in path :

\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\scripts‍

and then I call these files in titlebar.jsp file :

\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\jsp\parts\titlebar.jsp‍

by adding the following code in the start of the file (after comments) :

<%@ page import="javax.faces.context.FacesContext" %>
<% 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FacesContext fc2 = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;String layoutLanguage = Application.getLanguage(fc2).toString();
%>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and add the following applied in all containers (Like container.jsp, browser.jsp,…etc) as the following:

in files:

\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\jsp\browse\browse.jsp
\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\jsp\browse\dashboard.jsp
\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\jsp\dashboards\container.jsp
\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\jsp\dialog\container.jsp
\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\jsp\dialogs\container.jsp
‍‍‍‍‍‍

at the start of these files (after comments and after existing imports and be sure first if this import already not called 😞

<%@ page import="javax.faces.context.FacesContext" %>‍

at the end of these files but before '</f:view>':

<% 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FacesContext fc2 = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;String layoutLanguage = Application.getLanguage(fc2).toString();
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if(layoutLanguage.equals("ar_JO")) {
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;%>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<script type="text/javascript" src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/scripts/jquery.min.js">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<script type="text/javascript" src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/scripts/for-ar.js">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</script> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<% 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
%>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

in for-ar.js file I put the following code that read css property need to filp and swap between them, as example (swap between margin-left and margin-right) , and replace the paths of images to new path:

jQuery(function () {
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;jQuery("body").css("direction","rtl");
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;jQuery("img").each(function(i){
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;var oldLink = jQuery(this).attr("src");
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;var newLink = oldLink.replace("/images","/images-ar");
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;jQuery(this).attr("src",newLink);
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;});
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; jQuery.each(jQuery("*").get().reverse(), function (i) {
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;var backgroungImg = jQuery(this).css("background-image");
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; var textalign = jQuery(this).css("text-align");
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; var leftPadding = jQuery(this).css("padding-left");
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; var rightPadding = jQuery(this).css("padding-right");
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; var leftBorderWidth = jQuery(this).css("border-left-width");
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; var rightBorderWidth = jQuery(this).css("border-right-width");
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; var leftMargin = jQuery(this).css("margin-left");
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; var rightMargin = jQuery(this).css("margin-right");
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; var floatVal = jQuery(this).css("float");
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; var align = jQuery(this).attr("align");
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (backgroungImg != "none")
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;var newValue = backgroungImg.replace("/images","/images-ar");
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;jQuery(this).css("background-image",newValue);
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (jQuery.browser.msie == false || jQuery.browser.msie == undefined) { 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (textalign == "left") {jQuery(this).css({'text-align': 'right'});} 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; else if (textalign == "right"){jQuery(this).css({'text-align': 'left'});}
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (floatVal == "left") {jQuery(this).css({'float': 'right'});}
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; else if (floatVal == "right"){jQuery(this).css({'float': 'left'});}
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (align == "left") {jQuery(this).attr("align","right")}
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; else if (align == "right") {jQuery(this).attr("align","left")}
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (rightPadding != leftPadding)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; jQuery(this).css("padding-left",rightPadding);
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; jQuery(this).css("padding-right",leftPadding);
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (rightMargin != leftMargin)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; jQuery(this).css("margin-left", rightMargin);
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; jQuery(this).css("margin-right", leftMargin);
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (leftBorderWidth != rightBorderWidth)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; jQuery(this).css("border-left-width", rightBorderWidth);
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; jQuery(this).css("border-right-width", leftBorderWidth);
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; });
});&nbsp;

In login page has not title bar so you need to add the following code and that will be a solution if you need this:
login page location

\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\jsp‍

the code (place it after line 85) :

<%– JQuery Call–%>
<% 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;String layoutLanguage = Application.getLanguage(fc).toString();
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if(layoutLanguage.equals("ar_AR")) {
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;%>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<script type="text/javascript" src="<%=request.getContextPath() %>/scripts/jquery.min.js"></script>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<script type="text/javascript" src="<%=request.getContextPath() %>/scripts/for-ar.js"></script>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<script type="text/javascript">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$("body").css("background-position","right top");
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</script>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<% 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
%>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The positives of this solution are:
You don't need to edit a hundreds files (JSPs, CSSs, etc) .Support Multilingual interface .You can edit JS files and play with your Alfresco any time from one file (for-ar.js).More …

How much you are great JQuery

BTW, I have a little problem, the components using "ajax" is still out of JQuery hands, like Navigation, I just trying to solve this problem using JQuery too 😎 .

I hope this will be helpful for you
