| [05:17:16] | <calbasi_matrix> | Hi, I'm newbie here! I wonder if a drupal instance could be used for differents farmers or they need have use different drupal instances! |
| [05:18:00] | <calbasi_matrix> | I wonder too if FarmOS has localization and internationalization capabilities |

| [07:14:43] | <mstenta[m]> | Hi @calbasi |
| [07:14:52] | <calbasi_matrix> | Hi |
| [07:14:52] | <farmBOT> | hola |
| [07:15:12] | <mstenta[m]> | You probably want to use multiple farmOS instances |
| [07:15:18] | <mstenta[m]> | One per farm |
| [07:15:58] | <mstenta[m]> | Some people are using one instance for multiple farms, but currently there is no way of keeping records separate within an instance |
| [07:16:13] | <mstenta[m]> | That's something we've talked about adding support for in the future though |
| [07:16:33] | <mstenta[m]> | As for translation and localization, yes Drupal has support for that |
| [07:17:01] | <calbasi_matrix> | Ok about 1 site per farm... |
| [07:17:20] | <mstenta[m]> | However translations haven't been provided in most languages yet |
| [07:17:37] | <mstenta[m]> | There is a thread on GitHub that has some info |
| [07:18:21] | <calbasi_matrix> | About translations, I've read in your FAQ that is possible contribute with l10n. I don't work with drupal distros before, then I wonder if it user l10n.d.o system... |
| [07:19:14] | <calbasi_matrix> | I mean if farmOS USES drupal modules localization system/server. |
| [07:19:36] | <mstenta[m]> | https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/issues/177 |
| [07:19:49] | <calbasi_matrix> | Going :-) |
| [07:20:25] | <mstenta[m]> | I don't have experience with Drupal localization either, but I know it's possible |
| [07:22:32] | <calbasi_matrix> | OK, I could read about it. Don't worry. I have lots of experience in translations, because I'm Catalan and we speak Spanish too :-) But I have not experience with drupal distributions |
| [07:23:26] | <calbasi_matrix> | By the way, a last question, is d8 version scheduled? |
| [07:24:27] | <mstenta[m]> | Great!! We'd love your help!! |
| [07:24:39] | <mstenta[m]> | <calbasi_matrix "By the way, a last question, is "> Yes! I'm very eager to upgrade |
| [07:24:47] | <mstenta[m]> | I'm not sure when though |
| [07:25:28] | <calbasi_matrix> | And is d8 version, usable, for beta testing? |
| [07:25:38] | <calbasi_matrix> | I don't see many activity on issue queue and I gess it's not very "active" |
| [07:39:18] | <mstenta[m]> | Nope not yet |
| [07:39:46] | <mstenta[m]> | Still a lot of basic architecture to build for it |
| [07:40:16] | <mstenta[m]> | The jump from D7 to D8 has some changes that require refactoring |
| [07:40:57] | <mstenta[m]> | Moving forward, Drupal has adopted a better backwards comparability policy, so D8 to D9+ will be much much easier |
| [07:41:53] | <calbasi_matrix> | Ok, thank you very much for your time! |
| [07:44:15] | <mstenta[m]> | Sure thing! |
| [07:44:40] | <mstenta[m]> | Oh also we have a new forum: https://farmOS.discourse.group |
| [07:45:06] | <mstenta[m]> | Maybe we can try to get some conversations going there about translation/localization |
| [07:45:27] | <mstenta[m]> | Excited to have you involved @calbasi ! |
| [07:46:50] | <calbasi_matrix> | I'd like to help you with it, for sure. You can meet me here, at riot, or using my drupal account: https://www.drupal.org/u/calbasi |
| [07:59:28] | <mstenta[m]> | calbasi: great thanks! looks like you've been in the Drupal community for a long time! |
| [07:59:42] | <mstenta[m]> | I misunderstood when you said you didn't know Drupal distributions - I thought you meant you didn't know Drupal :-) |
| [08:01:08] | <mstenta[m]> | so yes: distributions work identically to modules with regard to translations |
| [08:01:19] | <mstenta[m]> | we use the t() function everywhere in the farmOS modules |
| [08:02:00] | <mstenta[m]> | and you can see farmOS on localize.drupal.org here: https://localize.drupal.org/translate/projects/farm |
| [08:02:07] | <calbasi_matrix> | Nice, then localization should be trivial ;-) |
| [08:02:37] | <mstenta[m]> | Great! Yea I think it's just a matter of enabling some modules, right? |
| [08:02:42] | <mstenta[m]> | locale? |
| [08:02:44] | <mstenta[m]> | (and writing translations, of course) |
| [08:03:10] | <mstenta[m]> | It would be great to have some of that process documented on farmOS.org |
| [08:03:14] | <mstenta[m]> | That's what this issue is for: https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS.org/issues/18 |
| [08:03:46] | <calbasi_matrix> | Once translated the strings, any user can just enable localization module and, in d7, i gess, update_localization contrib module... |
| [08:05:07] | <calbasi_matrix> | I could document this... Now I'm just looking for a farmer to build a first site for free, just to have a reason to work on it and later tallk about your distro to other farmers here in Catalonia :-p |
| [08:05:43] | <mstenta[m]> | Great! |
| [08:05:55] | <mstenta[m]> | Maybe reach out to some of the people in that Github issue - perhaps they would be interested |
| [08:07:08] | <calbasi_matrix> | Goog suggestion. I'll do it! |
| [08:08:12] | <mstenta[m]> | Out of curiousity, do you have experience developing Drupal modules? |
| [09:53:06] | <calbasi_matrix> | I'm not a coder... I'm front end and, mainly, a site builder. I'm interested in learning backend stuff, and the best way is to have something to do :-p (when my payed work, my children, etc. let me some time). |
| [09:53:07] | <calbasi_matrix> | Then, I don't really have much experience developing modules, just patching from time to time... |
| [09:54:47] | <calbasi_matrix> | But I like a lot your project (I'm biologist and farming was one of my loves). So, I could be enroled to any exciting task :-D ;-) |
| [09:54:47] | <calbasi_matrix> | For example, I think it could be interesting work on d8 version :-) |
| [10:55:39] | <calbasi_matrix> | mstenta: I've found a Catalan farmer to build a pilot site (free of cost for him :-p ). I'll take profit of this to translate to the Catalan the software and document it. See you! |
| [13:14:22] | <mstenta[m]> | Great!! |
| [13:14:41] | <mstenta[m]> | If you have any thoughts or suggestions for changing some of the wording of things in farmOS let me know |
| [13:15:04] | <mstenta[m]> | As you get into reading and translating strings |
| [14:59:00] | <calbasi_matrix> | Perfect! |
