Congratulations, you still doing a great job, but your post brings me a question.

Do I have to understand that modularization is not a “must do” on your roadmap?, because all the post is about integration.

Maybe it’s time you do an upgrade to Vtiger Road map.

Modularization is certainly there in the roadmap but I am not able to comment if we can take it up now. There was a lot of soul-searching on that issue here too and we realised that there is too much clean up to do first. I have deliberately not updated the roadmap because things are very fluid and we are not able to keep to the commitments. By setting expectations and not keeping them, leaves a bad taste hence have decided not to update them. Once things are reasonably shaping up, then, I will be able to state what is coming up in the next release. In the meantime, the community is welcome to checkout the code and have a look. There are plans to make the developer list more audible from our side too. We have not done much work on that front. So that should make up for some of the silence. We are also helping out the folks in the forum to an extent now so that they can come upto speed. This is also to ensure that there is proper communication happening towards the developer front. I would still encourage the folks to buy support though. Richie Hi Rasomu!

I'm the es_es language translator. One thing you should do is try to concentrate all strings in just one file. There are many strings that repeat all over modules, so when you are translating that strings is quasi-imposible to keep it the same because they have different tags. In some modules you have done some "string adding" for building dinamic messages, but haven't thought than in other languages we have different gramatical estructures so when they became translated they have no sense. Integrating the language module on Vtiger is also a good idea, some companies have different spelings for same concepts, adding the module give that companies the chance of customizating the Crm without the needings of knowning anithing of vtiger structure. I wish that words helps you someway or give you some new idea. Keep doing.

I think it's better to keep language in differents folder. A lang string can take another sense from a module to another for us in france. To have a "lang manager" can be a good think, but i think to have a real data dictionnary can be better. Like that we can have custom field translated in different lang... Hi RaF,

The exceptions you are saying I have registered on spanish no more than three or four.

Unusable for us. Caracter problem, slow... Improve in future is a good idea. I agree Richie, actually we doesn’t use webmail as part of vtiger CRM. Unusable for us.

In the next few days our goal is to make Web mail usable for us, so that we can provide a working solution for our business community. I will post our experience, once we have successfully completed this operation.
