This is my second blog here on FreePBX, the first one was in 2008, that blog covered the localization system in FreePBX and the struggle we had to make FreePBX working in different languages.
A lot of thing have happened during these past years. We have gone from FreePBX 2.5 to the upcoming FreePBX 2.9 and it has been fun and educational.

But what do we actually do as a Developer in FreePBX? The question arise from time to time and I decided to write something about what we do and how we do it.

Hi, my name is Mikael Carlsson and this is my first blog entry here on FreePBX.

I decided in December 2007 that I would translate FreePBX to Swedish as we were using it at our company and wanted some of the modules in Swedish. After reading up on the matter I filed a Feature Request #2571 that proposed a change in how translation should work for FreePBX as I was not that happy with the solution that existed. I also posted this in the wiki: NewLanguageSystem. There was some interesting discussion about the matter but it kind of dried out. I then decided to skip the proposal and go on with the translation as instructed on the wiki: OldPageI18n (note that this page is now obsolete).
