Hi!
Thanks to this extension! It's exactly what I need to my site. I'm a teacher and was looking for a way to post personalized messages to my students at my site and Messaging do the job with no trouble. Quick and good!

I'd like to translate do Brasilian Portuguese. What should I do?

Regards,

Iggy

I'm not involved into the project or related to it, I'm just a new user, but I can suggest you how you can do it.

Unpack the zip

Do a copy of the en-GB.com_messaging.ini, or any other language available that you are able to translate, and rename it to pt-BR.com_messaging.ini (pt-BR should be the correct code for Brazil).
Remember that there are TWO files, one in the main folder of the extracted package and one in the admin subfolder(for the backend).

Translate the relevant parts in the files, any part after the = (equal) symbol.

After the translation open with a text editor of your choice (one that is supporting utf8 no-bom is better) the file messaging.xml

and add as in the example the pt-BR file

Code:

<languages> <language tag="en-GB">en-GB.com_messaging.ini</language> <language tag="pt-BR">pt-BR.com_messaging.ini</language> .............. </languages>

and do the same at

Code:

<languages folder="admin"> <language tag="en-GB">en-GB.com_messaging.ini</language> <language tag="pt-GB">pt-BR.com_messaging.ini</language> .............. </languages>

Compress all the files and everything should be ready with the support for your brazilian language. After that you can share the translated files in a zip file (only with the two ini files and the admin folder) for other people that are using this component. I hope that this could help you and other translators. Regards .

I've noticed that someone else have done the translation, even if it seems to not be available, I suggest you to ask to the user to share his own translation, or wait for an eventual release wi the brazilian language(from what I can read), so you don't do a double work.
