I'm working on my new MyBB forum and installed the English (UK) by flashydave (which should more correctly be named English (GB) ) and found that unlike the default English US dictionary there is a missing icon description in the forum line that is under the Board Statistics section:
Searching for why it does not appear led me to the fact that flashydave's dictionary is missing the line
$l['forum_closed'] = 'Forum is Closed';
in the global.lang.php file. There are also quite a number of lines that are changed for no obvious (spelling difference) reason and some that appear to have errors, for example a lack of backslash to escape the apostrophe in:
$l['welcome_todaysposts'] = "View Today's Posts";
Or is that a mistake/unnecessary in the US dictionary as it appears to display correctly in the lower panel in my forum.
Are there good reasons why flashydave's "personalised" dictionary have been accepted as an official dictionary at the time? Is it that the "Forum is closed" message wasn't needed in the version of MyBB available at the time of its release?
If I'm going to contribute to MyBB rather than just make some personal preference changes in my local copy would the best approach be to go through all the files in the English US pack and make all necessary spelling changes and nothing else, rather than attempt to update flashydave's version?
New to MyBB and somewhat confused!
