    While testing installation process with RC 4 I've found some issues. Can't say, that those are bugs, however can cause some problems.

    Some elements which cannot be translated are putted in lang files.
    Examples:
    - Modules/pnlang/LANG/init.php

    Code

    define('_MODULES_1_f', 'Modules');

    It's used for Modules module directory. Try to translate this...
    - Users/pnlang/LANG/init.php

    Code

    define('_USER_2_r', md5('Password'))

    It's used for default Admin password. Looks like something to translate, but - during installation Admin user is logged using hardcoded password "Password" install/functions.php, line 372).
    What's more - in my opinion - the password should not be encoded in the lang file. It's not good place for PHP code.

    I'm not reporting this at NOC/trac, because it's not strict error. PN will work whit this issues, but I thing that this it is necessary to think about this. Not for .8, but for future versions.

    Language files should contain only what it is possible to translate. They should not serve as config files (as it is sometimes).
    We should make an assumption, that lang file without syntax errors, doesn't influence on the system. At worst something will be badly translated.

    You should report that anyway. Then it won't get lost and it's up to the developers to decide if it's a bug or a feature. icon_wink

    I doubt we'll fix these for .8 though we may, but .9 has been converted to gettext so we ought to check the problems haven't been carried over.

    I've posted it here having 0.8 successors in mind
    It's more about language conception then this or another bug.
    Just wanted to point this things icon_smile (and was angry after an hour of finding this issue while testing polish lang pack with translated "Password" etc icon_biggrin )

    With gettext there simply won't be language files in the same sense so the problem will go away.
