I've had a Ning 2.0 network which I created several years ago and have kind of ignored the last two years. It is a network based on getting members to communicate in Ancient Greek (Koine, not Attic (those languages are about 95% identical)). When I originally created that network, I created a new language based on English, translating the English into Koine. (The site is sxole.com). At the time, I found that the menu items on the site were not part of the language editor, but contained in a separate file called "NingMenu"

Here is part of that file:

static $a = array();
        if (! $a) {
            $a['FAVORITE_OF_N_PEOPLE']['f1'] = 'Favorite of 1 person';
            $a['FAVORITE_OF_N_PEOPLE']['f2'] = 'Favorite of %s people';
            $a['FAVORITE_OF_N_PEOPLE']['f3'] = '';
            $a['FAVORITE_OF_N_PEOPLE']['f4'] = '';
            $a['N_STARS_OUT_OF_5']['f1'] = '1 star out of 5';
            $a['N_STARS_OUT_OF_5']['f2'] = '%s stars out of 5';
            $a['N_STARS_OUT_OF_5']['f3'] = '';
            $a['N_STARS_OUT_OF_5']['f4'] = '';
            $a['CURRENTLY_N_STARS']['f1'] = 'Currently 1/5 stars.';
            $a['CURRENTLY_N_STARS']['f2'] = 'Currently %s/5 stars.';
            $a['CURRENTLY_N_STARS']['f3'] = '';
            $a['CURRENTLY_N_STARS']['f4'] = '';
            $a['N_INVITATIONS_RESENT']['f1'] = '1 invitation has been resent.';
            $a['N_INVITATIONS_RESENT']['f2'] = '%s invitations have been resent.';
            $a['N_INVITATIONS_RESENT']['f3'] = '';
            $a['N_INVITATIONS_RESENT']['f4'] = '';
            $a['N_INVITATIONS_CANCELLED']['f1'] = '1 invitation has been cancelled.';
            $a['N_INVITATIONS_CANCELLED']['f2'] = '%s invitations have been cancelled.';
            $a['N_INVITATIONS_CANCELLED']['f3'] = '';

I can no longer find that file on Ning, and some of my menus have reverted back to English. So I have several questions.

(1) I'm waiting for Ning 3 to support new languages. Is that going to happen and when?

(2) Has that menufile (whatever it was called) been folded into the language file editor?

(3) Can I download the English and Modern Greek language files and put them into a table so I can compare them side by side? There are 87 pages of items, and I can cut and paste them, but, should not I be able to download the entire language menu for any given language as a textfile, and then change that and upload the entire file back to Ning as my new language?

Help me if you can.
