Translating phrases

the word page cannot be translated

Hi,
I was translating the phrases to Persian and I noticed that I can't translate the word "Page".
the word is located at "vault_page".

The problem is,
the original English phrase is "Page" (with capital p) but in some pages the word has been changed to "page" (with lower-case p). The script changes the P to p in some cases.
But in many languages there is no upper/lower case for the words! Anyway, I managed to fix the issue by adding a [space] before the translation of this word (= " page_in_persian" ) so that the space would be changed to upper-case!

My impression was that if the charset was UTF-8 and you enabled VaultWiki's UTF-8 setting, that the multi-byte functions would know what characters could and couldn't be upper/lower case. Did you do this?

Maybe because it's on a word-level (not character-level) that the case doesn't translate?

If it's the second issue, where 'Page' means something different from 'page'... This isn't really a bug, but maybe I can add another language setting that will let you specify whether words in the language will retain their meaning if the case changes.

Please clarify so I have a better idea how to address this. Thanks.

UTF-8 is enabled. Both Page and page should be translated to the same word. It isn't the second issue.

If I translate the variable "vault_page" to Persian without space before the word, I will see "�age" all over the wiki. (Persian would be "فحه�" instead of "صفحه" )

Fixed for the next build. In vault/wiki/string.php, find:

Code:

			return mb_strtoupper(mb_substr($input, 0, 1, "UTF-8")) . mb_substr($input, 1, mb_strlen($input, "UTF-8"), "UTF-8");

Replace with:

Code:

			return mb_strtoupper(mb_substr($input, 0, 1, "UTF-8"), "UTF-8") . mb_substr($input, 1, mb_strlen($input, "UTF-8"), "UTF-8");

Find:

Code:

			return mb_strtolower(mb_substr($input, 0, 1, "UTF-8")) . mb_substr($input, 1, mb_strlen($input, "UTF-8"), "UTF-8");

Replace with:

Code:

			return mb_strtolower(mb_substr($input, 0, 1, "UTF-8"), "UTF-8") . mb_substr($input, 1, mb_strlen($input, "UTF-8"), "UTF-8");
