Any 8bit symbols must be html encoded. -* CHARSET - Charset used by translation -* ALIAS - 'language_code' should contain short language name - (iso-639). 'value' should contain name of other 'language_code' - that defines translation with NAME and CHARSET keys. - Entry links short language form with long form (language+country). - See: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/langhome.html and - http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code-lists/list-en1.html -* ALTNAME - Native translation name. Any 8bit symbols must be html encoded. - Name is visible when $show_alternative_names is enabled. -* LOCALE - Full locale name (in xx_XX.charset format or other format required - by php gettext functions). From 1.4.4/1.5.1 'value' can contain - array. If php version is older than 4.3.0, system uses only first - locale name listed in array. First locale name must be compatible - with FreeBSD system locale names. -* DIR - Text direction. Used to define Right-to-Left languages. Possible - values 'rtl' or 'ltr'. If undefined - defaults to 'ltr'. -* XTRA_CODE - translation uses special functions. (see chapter 3. XTRA_CODE functions) - -Each 'language_code' definition requires NAME+CHARSET or ALIAS keys. Other keys are -optional. - ----------------------- -3. XTRA_CODE functions ----------------------- -XTRA_CODE functions provide way to change interface behavior, when translation -requires special handling of some SquirrelMail functions. Functions are enabled -by setting XTRA_CODE option in $languages array and including appropriate -functions in functions/i18n.php. First part of function name is word listed in -$languages['language_code']['XTRA_CODE'] value. Second part is one of special -keywords. Possible keywords: -* _decode -Used in src/compose.php, src/i18n.php, src/view_text.php, functions/mime.php -Requires mbstring support - -* _encode -Used in src/compose.php, src/read_body.php - -* _encodeheader -Used in functions/mime.php -Returning function - -* _decodeheader -Used in functions/mime.php -Returning function - -* _downloadfilename -Used in functions/mime.php - -* _utf7_imap_encode -Used in functions/imap_utf7_local.php -Returning function - -* _utf7_imap_decode -Used in functions/imap_utf7_local.php -Returning function - -* _strimwidth -Used in functions/mailbox_display.php -Returning function - -* _wordwrap -Used in functions/strings.php (sqWordWrap) - --------------------------------- -4. Display of different charsets --------------------------------- -When SquirrelMail generates html pages, it uses charset set by translation -selected by end user. Interface can display emails encoded in different -charsets. In order to display characters that might be unsupported by user's -charset, SquirrelMail uses decoding functions that convert non us-ascii symbols -into html entities. All decoding functions are stored in functions/decode/ -directory. - -By default SquirrelMail includes decoding functions that support iso-8859-x, -windows-125x, utf-8, us-ascii, koi8-r, koi8-u, tis-620, ns-4551_1, iso-ir-111, -cp855 and cp866 charsets. Other decoding functions are distributed in separate -packages. Separate packaging of decoding functions is supported from -SquirrelMail 1.4.4 and 1.5.0. - -Some decoding functions might require php recode support. If your php -installation does not support recode, you might be using slower and cpu/memory -intensive functions. - --------------------- -5. IMAP folder names --------------------- -IMAP folder names use UTF7-IMAP charset. Folder names that are stored in -conf.pl must be encoded in UTF7-IMAP charset. SquirrelMail uses internal -functions that convert folder names from/to utf7-imap charset. By default those -functions work with iso-8859-1 charset. Other iso-8859-x and utf-8 charsets are -supported only when php installation contains mbstring support. +See: http://www.squirrelmail.org/docs/devel/devel-3.html
