# Friendica Installation
We've tried very hard to ensure that Friendica will run on commodity hosting
platforms - such as those used to host Wordpress blogs and Drupal websites.
But be aware that Friendica is more than a simple web application. It is a
complex communications system which more closely resembles an email server than
a web server. For reliability and performance, messages are delivered in the
background and are queued for later delivery when sites are down. This kind of
functionality requires a bit more of the host system than the typical blog.
Not every PHP/MySQL hosting provider will be able to support Friendica. Many will.
But please review the requirements and confirm these with your hosting provider
prior to installation.
Before you begin: Choose a domain name or subdomain name for your server.
Put some thought into this - because changing it is currently not-supported.
Things will break, and some of your friends may have difficulty communicating with you.
We plan to address this limitation in a future release. Also decide if you wish
to connect with members of the Diaspora network, as this will impact the
installation requirements.
Decide if you will use SSL and obtain an SSL cert. Communications with the
Diaspora network MAY require both SSL AND an SSL cert signed by a CA which is
recognized by major browsers. Friendica will work with self-signed certs but
Diaspora communication may not. For best results, install your cert PRIOR to
installing Friendica and when visiting your site for the initial installation in
step 5, please use the https: link. (Use the http: or non-SSL link if your cert
is self-signed).
## 1. Requirements
- Apache with mod-rewrite enabled and "Options All" so you can use a local .htaccess file
- PHP 5.6.1+ (PHP 7 recommended for performance).
- PHP *command line* with `register_argc_argv = true` in php.ini
- curl, gd (with at least jpeg support), mysql, mbstring, xml, zip and openssl extensions
- Some form of email server or email gateway such that PHP mail() works
- The POSIX module of PHP needs to be activated (e.g. RHEL, CentOS have disabled it)
- Composer for a Git install
- Mysql 5.5.3+ or an equivalant alternative for MySQL (MariaDB, Percona Server etc.)
- Ability to schedule jobs with cron (Linux/Mac) or Scheduled Tasks (Windows)
- Installation into a top-level domain or sub-domain (without a directory/path
component in the URL) is preferred. This is REQUIRED if you wish to communicate
with the Diaspora network.
- For alternative server configurations (such as Nginx server and MariaDB database
engine), refer to the [Friendica wiki](https://github.com/friendica/friendica/wiki).
This guide will walk you through the manual installation process of Friendica.
If this is nothing for you, you might be interested in:
* the Friendica Docker image (https://github.com/friendica/docker) or
* how install Friendica with YunoHost (https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/friendica_ynh).
## 2. Install Friendica sources
Unpack the Friendica files into the root of your web server document area.
If you copy the directory tree to your webserver, make sure that you also copy
`.htaccess-dist` - as "dot" files are often hidden and aren't normally copied.
OR
Clone the friendica/friendica GitHub repository and import dependencies
git clone https://github.com/friendica/friendica -b master [web server folder]
cd [web server folder]
bin/composer.phar install --no-dev
Make sure the folder view/smarty3 exists and is writable by the webserver user,
in this case `www-data`
mkdir view/smarty3
chown www-data:www-data view/smarty3
chmod 775 view/smarty3
Get the addons by going into your website folder.
cd mywebsite
Clone the addon repository (separately):
git clone https://github.com/friendica/friendica-addons.git -b master addon
If you want to use the development version of Friendica you can switch to the
develop branch in the repository by running
git checkout develop
bin/composer.phar install
cd addon
git checkout develop
Please be aware that the develop branch is unstable.
Exercise caution when pulling.
If you encounter a bug, please let us know.
Either way, if you use Apache, copy `.htaccess-dist` to `.htaccess` to enable
URL rewriting.
## 3. Database
Create an empty database and note the access details (hostname, username, password,
database name).
- Friendica needs the permission to create and delete fields and tables in its
own database.
- Please check the additional notes if running on MySQ 5.7.17 or newer
## 4. Config
If you know in advance that it will be impossible for the web server to write or
create files in the `config/` directory, please create an empty file called
`local.config.php` in it and make it writable by the web server.
## 5a. Install Wizard
Visit your website with a web browser and follow the instructions.
Please note any error messages and correct these before continuing.
If you are using SSL with a known signature authority (recommended), use the
https: link to your website. If you are using a self-signed cert or no cert,
use the http: link.
If you need to specify a port for the connection to the database, you can do so
in the host name setting for the database.
## 5b. Manual install
*If* the automated installation fails for any reason, please check the following:
- `config/local.config.php` exists
- If not, copy `config/local-sample.config.php` to `config/local.config.php`
and edit it with your settings.
- Database is populated.
- If not, import the contents of `database.sql` with phpMyAdmin or the mysql
command line tool.
## 6. Register the admin account
At this point visit your website again, and register your personal account with
the same email as in the `config.admin_email` config value.
Registration errors should all be recoverable automatically.
If you get any *critical* failure at this point, it generally indicates the
database was not installed correctly. You might wish to delete/rename
`config/local.config.php` to another name and drop all the database tables so
that you can start fresh.
## 7. Background tasks (IMPORTANT)
Set up a cron job or scheduled task to run the worker once every 5-10 minutes to
pick up the recent "public" postings of your friends. Example:
cd /base/directory; /path/to/php bin/worker.php
Change "/base/directory", and "/path/to/php" as appropriate for your situation.
If you are using a Linux server, run "crontab -e" and add a line like the one
shown, substituting for your unique paths and settings:
*/10 * * * * cd /home/myname/mywebsite; /usr/bin/php bin/worker.php
You can generally find the location of PHP by executing "which php".
If you have troubles with this section please contact your hosting provider for assistance.
Friendica will not work correctly if you cannot perform this step.
You should also be sure that `config.php_path` is set correctly, it should look
like this: (changing it to the correct PHP location)
'config' => [
'php_path' => '/usr/local/php56/bin/php',
]
Alternative: If you cannot use a cron job as described above, you can use the
frontend worker and an external cron service to trigger the execution of the worker script.
You can enable the frontend worker after the installation from the admin panel
of your node and call:
https://example.com/worker
with the service of your choice.
## 8. (Recommended) Set up a backup plan
Bad things will happen.
Let there be a hardware failure, a corrupted database or whatever you can think of.
So once the installation of your Friendica node is done, you should make yourself
a backup plan.
The most important file is the `config/local.config.php` file in the base directory.
As it stores all your data, you should also have a recent dump of your Friendica
database at hand, should you have to recover your node.
## 9. (Optional) Reverse-proxying and HTTPS
Friendica looks for some well-known HTTP headers indicating a reverse-proxy
terminating an HTTPS connection.
While the standard from RFC 7239 specifies the use of the `Forwaded` header.
Forwarded: for=192.0.2.1; proto=https; by=192.0.2.2
Friendica also supports a number on non-standard headers in common use.
X-Forwarded-Proto: https
Front-End-Https: on
X-Forwarded-Ssl: on
It is however preferable to use the standard approach if configuring a new server.
## Troubleshooting
### "System is currently unavailable. Please try again later"
Check your database settings.
It usually means your database could not be opened or accessed.
If the database resides on the same machine, check that the database server name
is "localhost".
### 500 Internal Error
This could be the result of one of our Apache directives not being supported by
your version of Apache. Examine your apache server logs.
You might remove the line "Options -Indexes" from the .htaccess file if you are
using a Windows server as this has been known to cause problems.
Also check your file permissions. Your website and all contents must generally
be world-readable.
It is likely that your web server reported the source of the problem in its error log files.
Please review these system error logs to determine what caused the problem.
Often this will need to be resolved with your hosting provider or (if self-hosted)
your web server configuration.
### 400 and 4xx "File not found" errors
First check your file permissions.
Your website and all contents must generally be world-readable.
Ensure that mod-rewite is installed and working, and that your `.htaccess` file
is being used. To verify the latter, create a file `test.out` containing the
word "test" in the top directory of Friendica, make it world readable and point
your web browser to
http://yoursitenamehere.com/test.out
This file should be blocked. You should get a permission denied message.
If you see the word "test" your Apache configuration is not allowing your
`.htaccess` file to be used (there are rules in this file to block access to any
file with .out at the end, as these are typically used for system logs).
Make certain the `.htaccess` file exists and is readable by everybody, then look
for the existence of "AllowOverride None" in the Apache server configuration for your site.
This will need to be changed to "AllowOverride All".
If you do not see the word "test", your `.htaccess` is working, but it is likely
that mod-rewrite is not installed in your web server or is not working.
On most Linux flavors:
% a2enmod rewrite
% /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Consult your hosting provider, experts on your particular Linux distribution or
(if Windows) the provider of your Apache server software if you need to change
either of these and can not figure out how. There is a lot of help available on
the web. Search "mod-rewrite" along with the name of your operating system
distribution or Apache package (if using Windows).
### Unable to write the file config/local.config.php due to permissions issues
Create an empty `config/local.config.php`file with that name and give it
world-write permission.
On Linux:
% touch config/local.config.php
% chmod 664 config/local.config.php
Retry the installation. As soon as the database has been created,
******* this is important *********
% chmod 644 config/local.config.php
### Suhosin issues
Some configurations with "suhosin" security are configured without an ability to
run external processes. Friendica requires this ability. Following are some notes
provided by one of our members.
> On my server I use the php protection system Suhosin [http://www.hardened-php.net/suhosin/].
> One of the things it does is to block certain functions like proc_open, as
> configured in `/etc/php5/conf.d/suhosin.ini`:

>
> For those sites like Friendica that really need these functions they can be

>
> <Directory /var/www/friendica/>
> php_admin_value suhosin.executor.func.blacklist none
> php_admin_value suhosin.executor.eval.blacklist none
> </Directory>
>
> This enables every function for Friendica if accessed via browser, but not for

>
> */10 * * * * cd /var/www/friendica/friendica/ && sudo -u www-data /usr/bin/php \
> -d suhosin.executor.func.blacklist=none \
> -d suhosin.executor.eval.blacklist=none -f bin/worker.php
>
> This worked well for simple test cases, but the friendica-cron still failed
> with a fatal error:
>
> suhosin[22962]: ALERT - function within blacklist called: proc_open()
> (attacker 'REMOTE_ADDR not set', file '/var/www/friendica/friendica/boot.php',
> line 1341)
>
> After a while I noticed, that `bin/worker.php` calls further PHP script via `proc_open`.
> These scripts themselves also use `proc_open` and fail, because they are NOT
> called with `-d suhosin.executor.func.blacklist=none`.
>
> So the simple solution is to put the correct parameters into `config/local.config.php`:
>
> 'config' => [
> //Location of PHP command line processor
> 'php_path' => '/usr/bin/php -d suhosin.executor.func.blacklist=none \
> -d suhosin.executor.eval.blacklist=none',
> ],
>
> This is obvious as soon as you notice that the friendica-cron uses `proc_open`
> to execute PHP scripts that also use `proc_open`, but it took me quite some time to find that out.
> I hope this saves some time for other people using suhosin with function blacklists.
### Unable to create all mysql tables on MySQL 5.7.17 or newer
If the setup fails to create all the database tables and/or manual creation from
the command line fails, with this error:
ERROR 1067 (42000) at line XX: Invalid default value for 'created'
You need to adjust your my.cnf and add the following setting under the [mysqld]
section:
sql_mode = '';
After that, restart mysql and try again.

- Some configurations with "suhosin" security are configured without

Following are some notes provided by one of our members.
#####################################################################
On my server I use the php protection system Suhosin
[http://www.hardened-php.net/suhosin/]. One of the things it does is to block
certain functions like proc_open, as configured in /etc/php5/conf.d/suhosin.ini:
suhosin.executor.func.blacklist = proc_open, ...
For those sites like Friendica that really need these functions they can be
enabled, e.g. in /etc/apache2/sites-available/friendica:
<Directory /var/www/friendica/>
php_admin_value suhosin.executor.func.blacklist none
php_admin_value suhosin.executor.eval.blacklist none
</Directory>
This enables every function for Friendica if accessed via browser, but not for
the cronjob that is called via php command line. I attempted to enable it for
cron by using something like
*/10 * * * * cd /var/www/friendica/friendica/ && sudo -u www-data /usr/bin/php
-d suhosin.executor.func.blacklist=none -d suhosin.executor.eval.blacklist=none
-f bin/worker.php
This worked well for simple test cases, but the friendica-cron still failed with
a fatal error:
suhosin[22962]: ALERT - function within blacklist called: proc_open() (attacker
'REMOTE_ADDR not set', file '/var/www/friendica/friendica/boot.php', line 1341)
After a while I noticed, that bin/worker.php calls further php script via
proc_open. These scripts themselves also use proc_open and fail, because they
are NOT called with -d suhosin.executor.func.blacklist=none.
So the simple solution is to put the correct parameters into config/local.config.php:
'config' => [
//Location of PHP command line processor
'php_path' => '/usr/bin/php -d suhosin.executor.func.blacklist=none -d suhosin.executor.eval.blacklist=none',
],
This is obvious as soon as you notice that the friendica-cron uses proc_open to
execute php-scripts that also use proc_open, but it took me quite some time to

Friendica translations
======================
Translation Process
-------------------
The strings used in the UI of Friendica is translated at [Transifex] [1] and then included in the git repository at github.
If you want to help with translation for any language, be it correcting terms or translating friendica to a currently not supported language, please register an account at transifex.com and contact the friendica translation team there.
Translating friendica is simple.
Just use the online tool at transifex.
If you don't want to deal with git & co. that is fine, we check the status of the translations regularly and import them into the source tree at github so that others can use them.
We do not include every translation from transifex in the source tree to avoid a scattered and disturbed overall experience.
As an uneducated guess we have a lower limit of 50% translated strings before we include the language (for the core messages.po file, addont translation will be included once all strings of an addon are translated.
This limit is judging only by the amount of translated strings under the assumption that the most prominent strings for the UI will be translated first by a translation team.
If you feel your translation useable before this limit, please contact us and we will probably include your teams work in the source tree.
If you want to help translating, please concentrate on the core messages.po file first.
We will only include translations with a sufficient translated messages.po file.
Translations of addons will only be included, when the core file is included as well.
If you want to get your work into the source tree yourself, feel free to do so and contact us with and question that arises.
The process is simple and friendica ships with all the tools necessary.
The location of the translated files in the source tree is
/view/lang/LNG-CODE/
where LNG-CODE is the language code used, e.g. de for German or fr for French.
The translated strings come as a "message.po" file from transifex which needs to be translated into the PHP file friendica uses.
To do so, place the file in the directory mentioned above and use the "po2php" command from the console.
*Please note that the console tool has to be called from the base directory of your Friendica installation.*
Assuming you want to convert the German localization which is placed in view/lang/de/message.po you would do the following.
1. Navigate at the command prompt to the base directory of your
friendica installation
2. Execute the po2php command, which will place the translation
in the strings.php file that is used by friendica.
$> php bin/console.php po2php view/lang/de/messages.po
The output of the script will be placed at view/lang/de/strings.php where
friendica is expecting it, so you can test your translation immediately.
3. Visit your friendica page to check if it still works in the language you
just translated. If not try to find the error, most likely PHP will give
you a hint in the log/warnings.about the error.
For debugging you can also try to "run" the file with PHP. This should
not give any output if the file is ok but might give a hint for
searching the bug in the file.
$> php view/lang/de/strings.php
4. commit the two files with a meaningful commit message to your git
repository, push it to your fork of the friendica repository at github and
issue a pull request for that commit.
You should translate the PO files at Transifex.
Otherwise your work might get lost, when the translation from Transifex is included to the Friendica repository after it was updated there.
Utilities
---------
Additional to the po2php command there are some more utilities for translation in the console.
If you only want to translate friendica into another language you wont need any of these tools most likely but it gives you an idea how the translation process of friendica works.
For further information see the utils/README file.
Transifex-Client
----------------
Transifex has a client program which let you interact with the translation files in a similar way to git.
Help for the client can be found at the [Transifex Help Center] [2].
Here we will only cover basic usage.
After installation of the client, you should have a `tx` command available on your system.
To use it, first create a configuration file with your credentials.
On Linux this file should be placed into your home directory `~/.transifexrc`.
The content of the file should be something like the following:
[https://www.transifex.com]
username = user
token =
password = p@ssw0rd
hostname = https://www.transifex.com
Since Friendica version 3.5.1 we ship configuration files for the Transifex client in the core repository and the addon repository.
To update the translation files after you have translated strings of e.g. Esperanto in the web-UI of transifex you can use `tx` to download the file.
$> tx pull -l eo
And then use the `po2php` command described above to convert the `messages.po` file to the `strings.php` file Friendica is loading.
$> php bin/console.php po2php view/lang/eo/messages.po
Afterwards, just commit the two changed files to a feature branch of your Friendica repository, push the changes to github and open a pull request for your changes.

Translation Process
-------------------
## Overview
The strings used in the UI of Friendica are translated at [Transifex] [1] and then included in the git repository at github.
If you want to help with translation for any language, be it correcting terms or translating friendica to a currently not supported language, please register an account at transifex.com and contact the friendica translation team there.
The Friendica translation process is based on `gettext` PO files.
Translating friendica is simple.
Just use the online tool at transifex.
If you don't want to deal with git & co. that is fine, we check the status of the translations regularly and import them into the source tree at github so that others can use them.
Basic worflow:
1. `xgettext` is used to collect translation strings across the project in the master PO file located in `view/lang/C/messages.po`.
2. This file makes translations strings available at [the Transifex Friendica page](https://www.transifex.com/Friendica/friendica/dashboard/).
3. The translation itself is done at Transifex by volunteers.
4. The resulting PO files by languages are manually updated in `view/lang/<language>/messages.po`.
5. PO files are converted to PHP arrays in `view/lang/<language>/strings.php` that are ultimately used by Friendica to display the translations.
We do not include every translation from transifex in the source tree to avoid a scattered and disturbed overall experience.
As an uneducated guess we have a lower limit of 50% translated strings before we include the language (for the core messages.po file, addont translation will be included once all strings of an addon are translated.
This limit is judging only by the amount of translated strings under the assumption that the most prominent strings for the UI will be translated first by a translation team.
If you feel your translation useable before this limit, please contact us and we will probably include your teams work in the source tree.
## Translate Friendica in your favorite language
If you want to help translating, please concentrate on the core messages.po file first.
We will only include translations with a sufficient translated messages.po file.
Translations of addons will only be included, when the core file is included as well.
Thank you for your interest in improving Friendica's translation!
Please register a free Transifex account and ask over at [the Transifex Friendica page](https://www.transifex.com/Friendica/friendica/dashboard/) to join the translation team for your favorite language.
If you want to get your work into the source tree yourself, feel free to do so and contact us with and questions that arise.
The process is simple and friendica ships with all the tools necessary.
As a rule of thumb, we add support for a language in Friendica when at least 50% of the strings have been translated to avoid a scattered experience.
For addons, we add support for a language when all the strings for this addon have been translated and only if we already support the language in Friendica.
The location of the translated files in the source tree is
/view/lang/LNG-CODE/
where LNG-CODE is the language code used, e.g. de for German or fr for French.
The translated strings come as a "message.po" file from transifex which needs to be translated into the PHP file friendica uses.
To do so, place the file in the directory mentioned above and use the "po2php" command from the Friendica Console.
## Add new translation strings
Assuming you want to convert the German localization which is placed in view/lang/de/message.po you would do the following.
### Core
1. Navigate at the command prompt to the base directory of your
friendica installation
Once you have added new translation strings in your code changes, please run `bin/run_xgettext.sh` from the base Friendica directory and commit the updated `view/lang/C/messages.po` to your branch.
2. Execute the po2php command, which will place the translation
in the strings.php file that is used by friendica.
### Addon
$> php bin/console.php po2php view/lang/de/messages.po
If you have the `friendica-addons` repository in the `addon` directory of your Friendica cloned repository, just run `bin/run_xgettext.sh -a <addon_name>` from the base Friendica directory.
The output of the script will be placed at view/lang/de/strings.php where
friendica is expecting it, so you can test your translation immediately.
*Please note that the console tool has to be called from the base directory of your Friendica installation.*
Otherwise:
3. Visit your friendica page to check if it still works in the language you
just translated. If not try to find the error, most likely PHP will give
you a hint in the log/warnings.about the error.
cd /path/to/friendica-addons/<addon_name>
/path/to/friendica/bin/run_xgettext.sh -s
For debugging you can also try to "run" the file with PHP. This should
not give any output if the file is ok but might give a hint for
searching the bug in the file.
In either case, you need to commit the updated `<addon_name>/lang/C/messages.po` to your working branch.
$> php view/lang/de/strings.php
## Update translations from Transifex
4. commit the two files with a meaningful commit message to your git
repository, push it to your fork of the friendica repository at github and
issue a pull request for that commit.
Please download the Transifex file "for use" in `view/lang/<language>/messages.po`.
You should translate the PO files at Transifex.
Otherwise your work might get lost, when the translation from Transifex is included to the Friendica repository after it was updated there.
Then run `bin/console po2php view/lang/<language>/messages.po` to update the related `strings.php` file and commit both files to your working branch.
Utilities
---------
### Using the Transifex client
Additional to the po2php command there are some more utilities for translation in the console.
If you only want to translate friendica into another language you wont need any of these tools most likely but it gives you an idea how the translation process of friendica works.
For further information see the utils/README file.
Transifex-Client
----------------
Transifex has a client program which let you interact with the translation files in a similar way to git.
Help for the client can be found at the [Transifex Help Center] [2].
Transifex has a client program which allows you to sync files between your cloned Friendica repository and Transifex.
Help for the client can be found at the [Transifex Help Center](https://docs.transifex.com/client/introduction).
Here we will only cover basic usage.
After installation of the client, you should have a `tx` command available on your system.
@ -88,17 +62,25 @@ The content of the file should be something like the following:
password = p@ssw0rd
hostname = https://www.transifex.com
Since Friendica version 3.5.1 we ship configuration files for the Transifex client in the core repository and the addon repository.
To update the translation files after you have translated strings of e.g. Esperanto in the web-UI of transifex you can use `tx` to download the file.
Since Friendica version 3.5.1 we ship configuration files for the Transifex client in the core repository and the addon repository in `.tx/config`.
To update the PO files after you have translated strings of e.g. Esperanto on the Transifex website you can use `tx` to download the updated PO file in the right location.
$> tx pull -l eo
And then use the `po2php` command described above to convert the `messages.po` file to the `strings.php` file Friendica is loading.
Then run `bin/console po2php view/lang/<language>/messages.po` to update the related `strings.php` file and commit both files to your working branch.
$> php bin/console.php po2php view/lang/eo/messages.po
## Translation functions usage
Afterwards, just commit the two changed files to a feature branch of your Friendica repository, push the changes to github and open a pull request for your changes.
### Basic usage

Utilities
php bin/console.php typo - is a crude syntax checker to avoid checking in files with simple
typos. It basically just loads each of our project files at once. Run from
cmdline and see if any parsing errors are reported.
Internationalisation
php bin/console.php extract - extracts translatable strings from our project files. It
currently doesn't pick up strings in other libraries we might be using such as
the HTML parsers.
In order for extract to do its job, every use of the L10n::t() translation function
must be preceded by one space. The string also can not contain parentheses. If
parens are required in a string which requires translation, please use hex escapes.
\x28 = (
\x29 = )
This only applies to English. Other languages may use parens in strings
because they don't require extraction.
strings.php - a recent run of the strings program. This provides output that
is suitable for direct inclusion in the program.
There are also translatable strings in the various files in the view/lang/en
directory. By setting $lang = 'something' in .htconfig.php, the application
will search for view/lang/something/filename prior to the English version in
view/lang/en/filename when loading templates and view files.
The translated string table should be placed in view/lang/$lang/strings.php for
automatic inclusion.
You are not restricted to using known languages. You may also use this to
translate the software into "pirate", "surfer" or merely to replace certain
text which you don't care for.
Note: The view/lang/en directory contains many HTML template files, some of which
only have a few words of English text amongst the HTML. Over time we will move
the translation to the Renderer::replaceMacros() function which calls these files and
then relocate the files to the view directory. The files in the top-level view
directory are template files which do not require translation.
Placeholders
Do not translate placeholders in strings! Things like %s, %d, %1$s and $somename
are used to add dynamic content to the string.
%s represents a dynamic string, like in "Welcome to %s"
%d represents a dynamic number, like in "%d new messages"
$somename is a variable like in php
In %1$s %2$s, the numbers are the position index of multiple dynamic content.
You could swap position in string of indexed placeholders.
e.g.
"%1$s's %2$s" => "John's photo", "John's item"
"%2$s di %1$s" => "foto di John", "elemento di John"
Plural
The L10n::tt() function supports plural form. The extract command writes this in
strings.php as an array, one string for every plural form language supports:
$a->string["%d message sent"] = Array(
0 => "%d message sent",
1 => "%d messages sent",
);
The function string_plural_select($n) defined in strings.php, return the string
index to use, related to the numbers of item (value of $n).
This is modeled after ngettext function of GNU gettext.
More info at http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/gettext/Plural-forms.html
Xgettext and .po workflow
1. Run bin/run_xgettext.sh script (on *unix sistems, with GNU xgettext installed)
This script runs xgettext on source tree, extracting strings from L10n::t() and L10n::tt()
functions, and creates a util/messages.po file.
$ cd bin; ./run_xgettext.sh
2. copy util/messages.po to view/lang/<language>/messages.po
Replace <language> with the language you are working on - e.g. 'es', 'fr', 'de', etc.
3. open view/lang/<language>/messages.po with a text editor and fill in infos in
"Last-Translator: FULL NAME <EMAIL@ADDRESS>"
"Language-Team: LANGUAGE <LL@li.org>\n"
"Language: \n"
(eg:
"Last-Translator: Guybrush Threepwood <gb@host.com>"
"Language-Team: Pirate Friendika <pirate-friendika-ml@host.com>\n"
"Language: pi\n"
)
For the line
"Plural-Forms: nplurals=INTEGER; plural=EXPRESSION;\n"
read GNU gettext manual at
http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/gettext/Plural-forms.html
4. You could then translate the strings in text editor, but I suggest to use one
of the many .po editors out there, like QtLinguist
5. run
$ php bin/console.php po2php view/lang/<language>/messages.po
to create the strings.php file
When strings are added or modified in source, you could run
$ cd bin; ./run_xgettext.sh ../view/lang/<language>/messages.po
to extract strings from source files and join them with the existing .po file:
new strings are added, the existing are not overwritten.
If you already translated Friendica using strings.php, you could import your old
translation to messages.po. Run:
$ php bin/console.php php2po view/lang/<language>/strings.php
