phpNuke - is a distributed under GNU/GPL
license Web-portals engine, written on PHP.
The given definition also is applicable to all other (see later) engines supported
by the given program. But originally the program was written for phpNuke therefore
it is named NukeLang.
One of features of phpNuke system is a possibility of fast switching the
interface of a portal into different languages. All text information for each
of languages is stored in the file with the name of sort lang-XXXXXX.php
(where XXXXXX - the name of the language, for example, english
for English or russian for Russian) in language subdirectory
and to translate the interface of a portal to other language enough to create
the new file with translation. In the further we shall name such file
language file.
To edit the language file it is possible in any text editor, however it is
rather inconvenient because of its large size. For example, at the moment of
writing this program the length of this file made about one and a half thousand
lines. For rise of convenience in operation of a translator just this program
also was created.
Other similar systems for creation of portals. They too are distributed under
license GNU/GPL, also are written on PHP but (for now) have less functions though
each of them is not deprived the snap. Also may be, that for a specific target
they will approach better, than phpNuke.
