Soon. There is not many new strings to translate I think. Let me see... only 15 new strings :-)

$lang['... or hide this link'] = '... or hide this link';
$lang['Visit'] = 'Visit';
$lang['Deletion in progress'] = 'Deletion in progress';
$lang['Some checksums are missing.'] = 'Some checksums are missing.';
$lang['%d checksums were added'] = '%d checksums were added';
$lang['With no checksum'] = 'With no checksum';
$lang['Compute %d missing checksums'] = 'Compute %d missing checksums';
$lang['checksums to add'] = 'checksums to add';
$lang['Synchronization in progress'] = 'Synchronization in progress';
$lang['Display category date'] = 'Display category date';
$lang['Display album date period'] = 'Show the date period associated with each album, eg « from July 12th to 15th, 2018 »';
$lang['Welcome!'] = 'Welcome!';
$lang['Piwigo requires an album to add photos.'] = 'Piwigo requires an album to add photos.';
$lang['Create a first album'] = 'Create a first album';
$lang['or'] = 'or';

I've used PIWIGO in the past and would love to do this beta but don't think that I can.  The problem is that I'm stuck with PHP version 5.6 due to two other older packages I run.  Trying to run the beta causes quite a few PHP timezone errors.  I could edit out the lines that cause the errors as I did with a PIWIGO 2.9.x install but feel that editing the code on a beta would make my observations questionable.

Is there any work-a-round to have this beta work with PHP 5.6?  I DO have a ticket in with my hosting to see if I can run different versions of PHP on different sub domains which, if possible, would solve the issue...

When can I translate the new version to Dutch?

I tried just unzipping the beta over an existing install and that didn't work. Is there an upgrade path to test the beta version or is it only a clean install currently?

Dear Piwigo community,

Major changes are coming with this version 2.10 and we start now with a first beta. We've been focusing our efforts on design. Last summer you saw many mockups of the new administration. Now you can see some of these mockups implemented in this beta version. We need your help to test this beta version, give us some feedback. The more users will test it the more stable finale release will be :-)

Remember it is a beta version, meant to be used for test only. Do not use it on your production website.

1) Changes

Here is the list of changes compared to Piwigo 2.9. First the changes for users:

* modus as new default theme, with 8 new modern skins
* administration redesign: header/menubar/tabs (common on all pages), upload form, album manager, colored icons on dashboard
* [Batch Manager] progression for synchronize metadata
* use "Apply to sub-albums" checkbox also to set children to public
* [albums] turn album date display into a user interface option

... and then more "technical" changes:

* add trigger on group deletion
* add trigger on tag deletion
* [history] log admin actions (add/edit/delete on photo/album/tag/user/group), logins, logouts...

2) Screenshots



Modus is now the default theme, with 8 new skins. Here you can see the default skin "Newspaper" with a black and white colorscheme.





New overall design, with new header/menubar/tabs. Here you can see how the refreshed upload form behaves when no album is available yet.





Album manager refreshed, with big action buttons.




3) Start to beta test

Download Piwigo 2.10.0beta1

If you can't install it but want to test it, just ask and we will happily provide a testing installation.

Please, open a new topic in the beta testing forum for each problem you may encounter.

Happy beta-testing :-)
