Translation of a multilingual website into english

Observe: this query is just targeted on Drupal Developer strings inside Drupal Developer supply recordsdata (php recordsdata)

If you’re making a Drupal website in a non English nation (let say France), you’ll create all of your php recordsdata with french strings inside.

After that, you’ll be able to translate this website, let say in dutch: you’ll extract PO recordsdata, ship them into translation an re-import them.

Till this level, the whole lot is ok.

Now, your consumer needs to have Drupal Developer website additionally translated into English…

As you possibly know, all Drupal Developer supply recordsdata (with french strings) are in reality thought of to be in English by Drupal Developer system… Any supply file is taken into account to be English

Which means to deal with this reality, I’ve to:

  1. Extract Drupal Developer PO recordsdata to translate into French (sure, in French !?!)

  2. Convert all supply recordsdata with french strings into Drupal Developer identical supply recordsdata however with English strings (by utilizing Drupal Developer translation created at step 1)

  3. Revert Drupal Developer languages of Drupal Developer PO file created at step 1 (supply language turns into goal language and Drupal Developer reverse)

  4. Import Drupal Developer reverted file created at step 3 into Drupal Developer website

Listed here are my questions:
