Hi, Octo team, How to do localization job for the octorbercms? We'd like to translate all the skin into other language, but i do not know where to go, please give a guideline.

Thanks~!

If you want to translate October CMS backend interface, I think you have to translate the Lang definition under each module first. I'm gonna do it for my main language too.

You can make a translation directory for your language.

Path: CMS\modules\backend\lang

Hi,

I have made another directory in CMS\modules\backend\lang\ro\lang.php and have translated the \en\lang.php file. But nothing appears in the backend, although I logged off and relogged in.

What else do I need to do in order for OctoberCMS to see this newly added language?

Thanks!

Hi,

I've managed to find out.

For anyone interested, you have to add a line in modules/backend/models/BackendPreferences.php in the $locales array. Then another in modules/system/lang/en.php - > in the 'locale' key, and you need to add a different lang file in each directory, as you only get a partial translation if you only translate modules/backend/lang/.

Cheers ! :)

Hi, after I change or add any file in folder modules/ all of changes dissapear after composer update. How to add new language to backend without this problem?

You have to move lang files here: /app/lang/backend/cs/lang.php or /app/lang/backend/cs/validation.php (where cs is language code, and backend is namespace). Namespace can be: backend, system or cms. It overrides default translation. See documentation http://octobercms.com/docs/plugin/localization

Hi, thank you for your reply! But, unfortunately, I couldn't get it worked. It works for plugins like it is written in documentation, but doesn't work for modules (backend, cms, system). I've just added these files, maybe, should I do soemthing more?

Kind regards

It works fine, I try it now. Just make copy of these files: /modules/backend/lang/en.php -> /app/lang/backend/cs/lang.php /modules/cms/lang/en.php -> /app/lang/cms/cs/lang.php Then make some translations and set locale in /app/config/app.php set 'locale! => 'cs' and that is it.

Great! Now it works. Thank you very much! Have a nice day!

I have a problem with the pagination translation, I am using the simplePaginate() function, which returns "next" and "previous" links in Laravel, but in OctoberCMS, it displays "pagination.next" and "pagination.previous".

I tried the solutions above but none work for the frontend. Also I tried to create a file "pagination.php" in the "modules/cms/lang/en/" folder but it doesn't work either.

I think there's a bug with Laravel ? I have no idea how to solve this.

@Vojta Hi, I have one question more. Could do you tell me how can I translate backend view "backend::mail.restore". And also I woudl like to know how to tranlate a validation file, because your approach doesn't work for validation translation (separated file named "validation.php" in "/app/lang/system/pl/validation.php I have no idea how do to this without changing system files. Thank you in advance, and kind regards.

@pikusfikus Yes, it doesn't work, because October uses Laravel validation. So you should override Laravel validation translation, and not October translation.

Just create file /app/lang/<locale>/validation.php. You can copy it from validation.php file located in /modules/system/lang/en/validation.php and override it ;-)

@Vojta Great! Thank you very much for your reply. It was very helpful :)

Anybody knows how to override validation.php in current build?

@Vojta solution is not working for me.

Edit: Ok, now You must use: /lang/{locale}/system/validation.php

It was solution for Laravel 4 version. Now you should use /resource/ folder like this:

https://github.com/laravel/lumen/tree/master/resources/lang/en

Hi, I tried this solution and it also doesn't work. I also tried both solution for Laravel 4 and Laravel 5 with resources. Did you try it?

Right folder is:

/lang/cs/rainlab/user/lang.php

where 'cs' is locale, 'rainlab' is vendor name, 'user' is plugin name and lang.php is file which should be overwritted.

Sorry for previous bad informations.

Thank you for your reply. And what location should be used for validation.php?
