CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation has worked for nearly two decades to strengthen citizen action and civil society throughout the world, especially in areas where participatory democracy and citizens' freedom of association are threatened. CIVICUS has a vision of a global community of active, engaged citizens committed to the creation of a more just and equitable world.
CIVICUS is seeking a freelancer or application development company to rapidly develop and deploy a multi-lingual component for a website developed using Joomla! 2.5.x. The component will enable human based translation of existing and new content on a website developed in Joomla! 2.5.x. The component may be similar to JoomFish.
Specific requirements include:
- Compatible with Joomla! 2.5 (and upwardly compatible with Joomla! 3.0)
- Be based on Joomla’s MVC model
- Will have a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) interface, enabling translators with access privileges to identify content for which translator is available and provide the translation
- The component will support front-end module positions via which users can indicate their language of choice
- Where specific content is not available in a selected language, fall back to the website’s main language
Schedule
We intend to have the component running on the website by 29 March 2013, thus we are committed to the following schedule:
- 7 March 2013 - Deadline for submission of quote
- 11 and 12 March 2013 - Interview and contract signing
- 5 April 2013 - Deployment built, tested, deployed and accepted
Enquiries/submission
All enquiries and complete quotes should be sent to , with the subject line: Multilingual Component for Joomla!
