PR merged. Phew ;)
We really, really need to find a way to avoid merge issues in the future. How exactly do you update your repo? Is it something done through the BB website, or a manual pull from a different origin from your local repo..? If it's the former, maybe you should try doing the latter. And maybe, hmm... I dunno, rebasing. Ouch. I still don't get why git is so popular. I'm getting around to using some of its intricate arcanes, but it's very, very tough on those who don't know it. You can be an excellent programmer, and suck at handling git.
Anyway.
Austria and Swiss have less German-speaking users than Germany, so I'd really, really push for it to be just called Deutsch. Then, if an Austrian package gets released (probably 'on top' of the German one), it'll just need to be called Deutsch (AT).

Done, but it also means the box is larger for all languages, and may wrap to the next line when replying to a thought, even if the thought isn't too long... :-/
Did you check the $txt['charts'] array, BTW..? Because I *did* make it all up from your original strings, and the addition of 'Alles' and 'Ausses' or something, which I have no idea if they're even grammatically correct...
Also, is there a reason you named your German version 'Deutsch (DE)'...? Why not just 'Deutsch'?
English (US) is only there because British people certainly have a case when it comes to British English being the 'proper one' and US English a derivative (lol). But I've settled on English (UK) because there are more Americans, and non-Americans non-British are probably more used to the US grammar, too, so it needed to be done. But German... It's only spoken *widely* in Germany, right..? So it doesn't need the DE, I'd say.

rev 2341 -- phew!! Biggest commit in a long time, really...
7 files changed, 1456 insertions(+), 568 deletions(-)
rewrite Themes/default/scripts/stats.js (95%), 15.29 KiB
+ And, welcome to the statistics rewrite... What used to be a long table of meaningless data is now a proper chart, powered by a cool script I heavily customized to my needs. And, it's all Ajaxified. Enjoy. (Stats.php, Stats.template.php, Stats.language.php, stats.js, wraph.js <-- that's the magical script.)
* If no user has entered their gender in their profile, show 'not applicable' in stats, rather than '0:1'. No, they're not all women...
@ Did my best to update the German file and fill in the blank with help from Google. It's probably very gross German, though.
@ Wraph doesn't work on oldIE (<=8), but really? Who cares, at this point..?

I know... :eheh:
And until yesterday, it was a bit crappy! I put a lot of thought into it today. (Heck, I learned more about canvas drawing to customize that library. Plus, I'd always wanted to look into using canvas for my own work in the future... This time was not lost, so double win.)
I'm also planning to add a 'zoom' feature so that I can default to the 'Last 10 years' feature (which should probably be something like 'all', because in the meantime I rewrote it to support both monthly and quarterly updates, making it potentially possible to support, hmm, 40-year old forums..??), and then you can choose a 'zone' to extend into daily stats. A la Github, if you will.

Works 100% in mobile, now!
The main problem I had was with the label list. On a very small screen, it just got confusing, they were overlapping each other.
I rewrote the script to actually skip up 50 or 75% of all labels, depending on the available width, to make it all clearer.
Well, I'm pretty much ready to commit... I think.

« on December 4th, 2013, 02:01 PM »Well, I mainly intend to use it to generate CSS locally and upload it then. No additional server load, still optimized coding.
Also it annoys me quite a bit to spend a lot of effort into translating stuff just to hear then "sorry but we have no idea how to integrate it" and then, by a completely new third-party member, "oh well I could already have done" blah blah...
I'm with Theo de Raadt here: Less talking, more fucking work!

Well, Home is the 'default' one now, and Welcome will only be there as a 'sample', although I could probably get it out of the main repo, and into a 'samples' repo.

If you're comfortable with using Git, I'm planning to release the language files to a special repo over there, and allow you guys to submit pull requests.

« on December 4th, 2013, 12:21 AM »... unless you drive a server-side dynamic compiling unit.
I'm not exactly sure what point you're trying to make.
Oh, I was looking at Elk, and noticed you were doing their German version. Do you want to double-check Pandos's translation for Wedge? I'm interested in finding typos, things like that. I don't speak a word of German. Nein.
I also noticed you got into a fight with someone else with the translation... I'm afraid I have to say, I don't see in what way his post was offending. It seemed like an innocent question, to me. You're a bit irritable, aren't you? ;)
(Especially WordPress is known to use something like that for every occasion imaginable.)
They do have the 'super-cache' plugin, though. It makes PHP pages static. That's cool. For a website you provide no interactivity for, of course.............
Static CSS is best indeed! But not generated on the server. :D
It takes less than half a second (or even a quarter second..?) for the server to re-generate the main CSS file, which is quite large, and after that, it doesn't need to be re-generated until the original CSS is modified.

Yes, they're disabled in wedge.org, because they obviously add one DB hit per page, and I thought Google Analytics would be more accurate anyway.[1]
The latest update (not live here, though!) actually accounts for disabled items. Only 'hits' for now, but in the end, could add more stuff.
Hits are usually not even shown at all, but they used to be enabled, so the old stats (< 2012) still have hits in them. You can look at them, if you want...

| 1. | It took me years to add Analytics, though... I figured, no need to force a small script to load for everyone, if I'm never looking at these stats. I only installed it because I wanted to know the IE market share here. Still less than 5%, all versions included. Lulz. |

rev 2340 -- okay, next one then.
3 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-), 1.35 KiB
! Fixed HTML tags being shown in relative date titles. (topic.js)
! Fixed ajax loader height. Okay, this is getting annoying... (index.css)
! When re-opening a select box with the Space key, the current selection was not always in view. (sbox.js)
! Using arrow keys/home/end on a closed but focused select box used to re-open it. While it was a conscious decision of mine long ago, contradicting the established UI standards for select box development, I came to a point where I think the 'regular' way is just as good, if not better, as mine. So, doing it the regular way now. (sbox.js)
* Committing a long, very long standing (several years!) change to IE handling of keyboard bindings. Well, actually I'm not committing you. No kidding: I spent years having sbox.js in my 'changed' log every time I did a commit, having to uncheck it because I postponed further tests under IE for this fix. Turned out, the testing process itself took about 3 minutes, and the fix didn't have anything to fix. I'm feeling emotional right now. One less 'permanent' file in my changeset, is something to celebrate. (sbox.js)

Less compiles at page load time. Sass and Wess compile once and then load a static CSS file.
