add a new language?

hi,

i just got aMember and i was wondering how to add a new language such as Japanese. In the mean time i used Dutch nl.php and nl-def.php files to use them as Japanese, but doing so makes that the nl string be used instead of the jp that would be much more suitable. How can i add the jp string or whatever for other languages to be recognized?

Thank you.

Any answer?

Hey! nobody knows or what??

Make a copy the nl-def.php and nl files, renaming them to jp-, then in jp-def.php change the

$GLOBALS['_LANG']['nl'] = array(
'title' => 'Nederlands',
'self_title' => 'Nederlands',
'encoding' => 'ISO-8859-1',
'locale' => 'nl_NL.ISO8859-1',
'email_encoding' => 'ISO-8859-1',
);

to
$GLOBALS['_LANG']['jp'] = array(

and
'encoding' => 'ISO-2022-JP',

or you can try UTF-8, shift=jis
etc..

hi,

thanks, man. Thats exactly what i hade already done. But i got an error when i try to load the language. I retried that method but now i cant see the option for that language in the admin panel. However i appreciate you have confirmed that what i was doing was right. As it didnt work at the beginning i though that maybe i needed to do something else. So as right after you upload the jp.php and jp-def.php files these should appear automatically for selection in the admin panel? because they dont....

Thank you.
