Translation of User Interface strings in DrupaAdministration

How do I import languages to translate the base of drupal?

Go to http://drupal.org/project/translations and download them.

Untar (unzip) your language translations.

Then head on over to your Administer » Site Configuration » Localization page and click import (/en/admin/settings/locale/language/import)

You do not even have to enable the language first:

Translate site settings strings

Apparently, i18n and locale have no way of translating user-entered values for site slogan, site name, and mission statement!

Resolution

All text such as mission and slogan and title should go in themes with a t() function so they can be translated.

This is confirmed to work in Drupal 5. Anything you throw into a <?php print t('Translate this.'); ?> will show up in the Localization manage strings administration, admin/settings/locale/string/search

Give choice to show body field label, as for CCK field labels, on custom content types

Agaric wants to optionally be able to display the label for the node body on CCK content types.

On the "note" content type, the real and true body has the label name "Resolution"-- but you won't see where the body starts because it doesn't show up!

(This text is in the Description & Info textfield, which is labeled.)

Is the only solution theming cck the agaric way?

Turn freelinking off for most content types

The Freelinking module, bless its heart, is a tad too overzealous in its attempt to linkify any words it thinks are in CamelCase.

Furthermore, it interferes with links with capitalization in them, even when the linking is applied first. Agaric considers this a bug.

Ideally one could turn freelinking off for most content types, except say your Wiki content type.

The way freelinks work may be tied too closely to Drupal's input filter functionality, though, and not easy to disable per node type.

Whatever the reason, you can't.

Two kinds of action spaces

From Pierre George, who has spent a lot of time thinking about this and trying to present it.

i have been pondering our talk of yesterday and have two suggestions on

Attribute Wiki changes

When someone edits the wiki, there is no trace of it having been edited - in other words, if I post a page, and you come along and delete what I've written and write some crazy manifesto, your manifesto is attributed to me. Is there any way to highlight or otherwise distinguish content submitted by different users? Or to make "changes" visible, with the proper attribution to each successive author?

Philosophically, wiki pages shouldn't show a single author anyway. So we'll disable showing the creator for that content type.
