[Vtigercrm-developers] Whole sentences for language translation?

[Carlo Beschi]

Hi all,

the same issue is present (and not easily fixable at current state) with 
italian translations.

A great effort has been done IMHO in 5.1 to better internationalization 
and internationalization support.

But with the current system (single language files for all modules + 
general application labels in a different file) there's not that much 
more that you can do than adding new labels - and taking hardcoded 
string out of the code .


I've been playing a bit with gettext 
(http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/) for localizing issue on a 
client's project which uses wordpress as a software basis.

I find it amazing to work with .mo and .po files :-D

This is a enhancement suggestion for vtiger 6.0 ...
