nThai(z)

As I told you earlier I am working on Thai language pack for Invision Power Board 2.3 series. Originally, I though it wouldn’t consume much of my time like nThai(z) 2.0 did. Unfortunately, IPS staff changed their language files terribly. A lot of little changes hidden in hundreds of line. It took me a lot of time to find it out, line-to-line. That’s why it take too long than I expacted. The second reason is I am addicted to Jumong, Korea series, I just finish 17 CDs last night.

Finally, nThai(z) 3.0 is done. The upgrade process is finish plus correcting some spelling error and with a bit of optimization. Little news for those sites who use IPB with small screen, I optimized my language pack to fit with your site design.

Tomorrow I will pack this language pack and will release very soon after I test it online. nThai(z) 3.0 will support both TIS-620 and UTF-8. Please note that nThai(z) 3.0 series will work ONLY with IPB 2.3.x, it’s impossible to use with IPB.2.2.x due to some changes in language file by IPS.

While I can not confirm the release date for Thai Language pack for IPB, for short I am glad to tell you all that nThai(z) for IPB 2.2.2 is finished. From the original name “nThai” it now changed to nThai(z). The version number is rised up to 2.0, nThai(z) 2.0. Why it jumped from 1.0.4 to 2.0? it not just I add few line of IPB 2.2.2 but there are a lot of change.

• It’s more easy to understand and follow than previous version.
• Shorten by cutting off a lot unnecessary words.
• Adopted to be fit with IPB 2.2 Look and Feel.
• Adopted more and more to Thai style of speak — Why you should follow American?
• Thai Standard language
• Support TIS-620 and UTF-8, in separate set.
• Typo error free–I hope, it not just double check.   

For those who use IPB 2.1.x, I will release nThai(z) 1.0.5 some time soon–the most of work is finished. But for 2.0.x, I still not sure because I am no longer have that files.
