This package allows Facebook to be translated into any language.

It is a fork of the secwepemc-facebook project which was created by "Neskie Manuel":https://github.com/neskie to translate Facebook into his language of Secwepemctsín. I've brought Neskie's script up-to-date so it works with Facebook's new design, and generalized it to work with any language.

Here are "installation instructions":https://github.com/kscanne/secwepemc-facebook/blob/master/INSTALL.textile

If your language is not yet available, it's very easy to do a translation. You just need to translate these "words and phrases":https://github.com/kscanne/secwepemc-facebook/blob/master/strings.txt

If you've translated software before and you're familiar with PO files, I can provide you with an empty PO file into which you can place your translations.

Once I have your translations, I'll build a "Greasemonkey script" that you can install in your browser, and then you should see Facebook in your language.

Excerpt from Neskie's original README: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= A Greasemonkey Userscript to alter Facebook to display words in Secwepemctsin.

Greasemonkey scripts allow you to alter web pages in many different ways. We are altering the website so that words in Facebook are in Secwepemctsin. How do you say "What are you planning?" in Secwepemctsín or how do you say "News Feed"? I'm still looking for words to translate. Some words will be hard like "Privacy" or "Contributor". When we get all of the Facebook interface translated, Facebook will be another place we can be immersed in the language.

It would be good to be able to use the official Facebook "Translations App":http://www.facebook.com/translations/, but Secwepemctsín isn't listed. Until then, we can use this script.

Enjoy Facebook in Secwepemctsín. Also check out "First Voices":http://www.firstvoices.ca and "Secwepemctsnem":http://language.secwepemcradio.ath.cx for more language resources. There is also "Land of the Shuswap":http://www.landoftheshuswap.com/.
