Local Exchange multilingual versions development
December 28th, 2011 by Rob Follet: http://www.cxss.org.uk/drupal51/node/68
We're now getting quite a lot of enquiries about running Local Exchange UK in
languages other than English. Here's how things stand at time of posting...
Leif Arne Storset from Norway is developing a multi-lingual version based on our
code for v1.01, this building on the pioneering work on an initial major rewrite
of the code for a multi-lingual version by Evert Jan Klein Velderman and Willem
van der Til in Holland - working site at http://www.letskringbreda.nl/lex/
and several others.
For translation purposes, Leif Arne Storset's version has a public repository
at Github and is under active development for other languages, so we recommend
that anyone interested in developing Local Exchange in other languages liaise
with him. See https://github.com/lastorset/Local-Exchange
There's a site running his code at http://lets.no
(see http://lets.no/info/credits.php
for history of this project). We are in contact with him and hope to work together
to incorporate his changes into our own version, but this is probably a few months
away.
Our own current code for Local Exchange UK v1.01 is also now at Github
S see https://github.com/cdmweb/Local-Exchange-UK
It is also still available via my own site - see links in forum post at http://www.cxss.org.uk/drupal51/node/65

Local Exchange, afgekort Lex, is Open Source software waarmee je een LETS-administratie
via internet kunt beheren. De software is oorspronkelijk ontwikkeld en aangepast
door de hierboven vermelde personen. Daarna is door Willem
van der Til (van LETS Tiel)
een meertalige versie van Lex ontwikkeld en is samen met Evert
Jan Klein Velderman
(van Letskring Mallemoer
Breda) ook een aantal wijzigingen en verbeteringen in de programmacode aangebracht
en de functionaliteit uitgebreid, zoals CKEditor
(WYSIWYG, HTML-editor) voor het maken en wijzigen Vraag, Aanbod en Informatiepagina's.
Lex is later ook in het Noors vertaald door Leif Arne Storset van LETS Norge (Oslo, Noorwegen) met de meertalige versie als basis.
De Nederlandstalige versie was door LETS Tiel beschikbaar gesteld op: Local Exchange NL, maar inmiddels is die versie door LETS Breda weer verder uitgebreid. Hierover kan informatie worden aangevraagd via onze Contactpagina.
Letskring Breda heeft als eerste het vertaalde administratiesysteem per 01-08-2010
in gebruik genomen, waarna LETS Tiel op 01-10-2010 volgde. Diverse LETS-kringen
zijn aan de lijst van gebruikers van deze versie toegevoegd
en kunnen Lex, zoals alle Letskringen, geheel gratis gebruiken.
