Recently i came into a software solution which is developed in ASP and it works only in Internet Explorer. The software is English language and therefore i need to translate it in another language in order to present it to the audience more efficiently.
The problem is that the software was developed with out using resources, and so all the words, sentences etc. that has to be translated are in the code and we have to go line by line to do the translation.
Do you know if there is an IE plugin which can translate the ASP files according to our input in any language?
Thank you in advance!!!
You may want to take a look at Google Translater https://translate.google.com/manager/ It runs on the client side and seems to translate pages well enough.

Hello I am a newbie to Zend Framework. I want to convert a website constructed in English language using Zend Framework to Ukrainian language.
Can anyone help me out what to do?
Thanks in advance.
Make sure you website supports internationalization, so all UI strings can be localized via translate() helper and Zend_Translate.
If your website already has more than one language - in most cases you should not care about this step.
Extract all UI strings into translation resource file (Gettext .po, TMX, xliff, etc..)
Hire translator to perform actual translation for you, or do that on your own.
Deploy new resource to website and make sure the locale is getting recognized for your language (or do the manual language switch link)
Your question is very general and I'm not sure on which step you need an assistance. Generally localization into Ukrainian language should not have any special cases. Follow any of numerous HOWTOs on ZF website localization for any other languages you can find on the Internet.
I recently started learning about drupal integration and because I wanted to learn how to create sites that I give to people with no html experience who want to be able to update their site. Through my research I learned that Drupal is the best supported CMS. It really does have a lot of nice features and accomplishes the job, but it almost has too many features for what I want.
I'm assuming there is some kind of open-source software for
I am an aspiring web developer trying to build my portfolio/gain experience. What I've been trying to do is build sites for clients that I can lose complete contact with--so when their store hours change and they have no HTML experience, I get emails about updating their site.
I figure there are three approaches: (tell me if there are more)
I write a php app that allows them to edit their site
I use a CMS (Drupal) to let them edit their site
I write scripts that embed text files formatted with {white-space: pre;}
I've so far implemented each method on 3 different sites, and they all work with drawbacks. I would prefer an open-source alternative to writing my own app for stability/security. Drupal seems more oriented towards allowing multiple users to add content, whereas I only want one user update existing content. The third option works well for computer-literate clients, but anyone who can navigate onto their server to change the file could probably figure out how to update the site without any of these approaches.
To sum up my problem, can anyone tell me the term I am looking for? Content Management System refers to the site framework for sites with a growing number of content posts (correct me if I'm wrong). What is the term for the site framework for editing sites with predefined but editable pages? If you could please tell me that, then I can at least research this question on my own. Otherwise, if you have any advice or solutions, they are much appreciated!
Thanks
user1470887, you've asked a great question. The answer, unfortunately, is that too many of the existing CMS products overlook this use case. It doesn't have an exact name as far as I know.
The term "in-place editing" describes one version of this (user clicks text on web page, block of text becomes a form, user edits contents and presses submit button, new text is sent to webserver and saved, and the form becomes normal text again). But I gather you would be happy with anything that lets them edit-existing but not create-new.
I'm also guessing you don't want to build your own Drupal module or commission one.
I do not know Drupal well enough to know whether there's a Drupal module that meets your needs. I'd recommend a careful search, though, especially if you are already somewhat familiar with Drupal. (Yes, Drupal can seem like too much CMS at times.)
However ... if you can't find a Drupal solution or want an alternative to Drupal, MODX Revolution does have an answer: set it up and then install Bob Ray's NewsPublisher add-on. It will put an "edit" button on pages which a user has the right to edit, but not on pages where they don't have edit rights. (And of course users will only be able to edit the title, body content etc - not the entire page.)
Bob Ray has literally written the book on MODX (MODX: The Official Guide). I was able to successfully adapt NewsPublisher to a project last year similar to what you have described, with predefined pages that the user would only need to edit over time. The latest NewsPublisher version, untested by me, is said to be further improved and can now be styled much more easily using CSS. That should allow you to give your users a customised and consistent interface.
As andmag also notes, MODX is a very flexible system for web developers focused on the presentation layer. It has the best templating system going.
I'll recomend you to try MODX. It gives you big flexibility to run your php or html code.
Please forgive me if this answer is somewhere else on this site or online. If it is, I sure haven't found it in the past several days of searching.
What I am hoping to find is an "accurate" method of detecting a browser and redirecting to a simple, static page if not a recent browser.
The samples I have found until now often have not provided an accurate representation of the actual browser being used. For instance:
When testing with Navigator 9, I'll get a message that I'm using Firefox 2
When testing with Maxthon 3, it reports I'm using IE 9.
My site displays correctly in all the current browsers I've been testing it with. But I wish I could have a basic static page for those .01% who still are using an old browser for whatever reason. They could still get some basic information from my site, as well as encouraged to update to a more current browser.
If anyone has any useful suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate them.
Thanks so much.
Cheers,
David
Browser detection is never perfect, for a variery of reasons. If you are using jQuery, you should look into jQuery.browser.
I'd try to detect the browser on the server side and do an HTTP redirect if the browser is something non-standard. Most decent frameworks have functionality to detect the browser from the user agent string. Again, this is not perfect, mainly because of the data browsers report. Also, if Maxthon reports it's IE, that's because it is based on IE and therefore the layout engine should be the same.
So you either
support a small number of browsers and cater for their quirks, sending all other browsers to a basic page (this sucks for future versions of browsers because they might be standards-compliant but they will still display your very basic page), or
you have a standards-compliant page for all browsers and then you define alternatives for the ones that give you problems.
I'd go for the second option. It usually all boils down to one version for all browsers, and a number of hacks for various versions of IE. Also, remember to avoid padding in your CSS and use margins instead.
In the end, you probably shouldn't be testing for browsers and version numbers, but supported features. Try using Modernizr.
The $.browser property is deprecated in jQuery 1.3. On jQuery support site, they strongly recommend to use the detection feature (JQuery.support) instead of the jQuery.browser property.
Actually, this has been answered already in another question, please check here How can you detect the version of a browser?
As a side project I tutor grandparents and other computer novices in Computer & Internet 101, from physically using a mouse to dealing with e-mail/searching/etc. Web development isn't really my area of focus - I do have reasonable HTML/CSS/Javascript etc skills, so I can throw together a decent-looking simple, static site - but occasionally I get asked to put together extremely simple websites for these people, that they can update themselves; that is, edit text-based content without giving Grandpa a heart attack by making him come face-to-face with HTML/Javascript.
I've waded through a mile-long list of CMS software - largely culled from the many other similar questions on SO - but they've all got something ruling it out: hosted, restricts the design (can't use w/existing CSS, looks "Word-press-y", etc), not free/FOSS, etc. I wonder if "CMS" is even the right word for what I'm looking for. What I need is a simple text editor for the client: that is, something that will give the client a text box of some variety, let them edit it, and update the content with that info. They can't mess with navigation, add new pages, change anything other than text. If it was really fancy, they could upload a picture.
I was planning to do this just with a couple of password-protected php forms, but thought I'd ask if there's anything already out there that might provide this functionality? Any suggestions on building my own version of this, in PHP or something else?
What I'm really interested in is:
1) the simplicity/customize-ability of the admin interface (or lack of admin interface, if the client could somehow edit directly in the page), and
2) ease of set up for me (not getting paid much if at all for this, don't want to wade through three million plugin options to figure out how to get some unwieldy, high learning-curve framework to do what I want).
Try pulsecms.
Here is another very simple CMS that has JQuery and modernizr , HTML5 Boilerplate and TinyMCE.
I have my wife setup with Windows LiveWriter
http://explore.live.com/windows-live-writer?os=other
This means that she just builds her articles as if she is using a word processor (almost exactly the same) and then just uploads the article to her blog. I use Blogengine.net to host the blog on a Godaddy hosting solution.
Blogengine comes with built in support for LiveWriter and only required that you input the address, username and password in.
I understand this is an old post, but i hope someone find this of interest.
You could give the users the instruction to upload text files to the site, and the have the HTLM/PHP/ASP pages load the context of such .ts files.
Each web page should have a specific named .txt file associated.
I have to redesign a website in joomla from HTML.Basically the HTML site is in 2 lanugage English and French.Now the problem is that there is different menus and block in both the language sites.If the menus and rest of design is same then i can easily do using Joomfish..please tell me how i can mange this.
The answer to your question really comes down to a choice between two options:
(1) Having a multi-lingual site. This type of site is manually coded to contain duplicate menu items and articles, each written "by hand" in the native language. If your site is one where the language contains nuances that would be missed by auto-translation software like JoomFish, then you better go this route. There is more planning involved for such a site.
(2) Having a single language site that can be translated to another language using a translator like JoomFish (or a dozen others). If the language in your project is not specifically nuanced, you might consider this route, as it will be FAR easier to build. Translation software like JoomFish does a pretty good job. I even use the translation built into CometChat for some of my clients, and they're pretty happy with the results. The translations aren't 100% perfect, but most web viewers understand this nowadays.
