Translation

wilsoncortez

Hi for those like me, newcomers if you want to translate the frontend open "class.votingleaderboardmodule.php" and lookaround lines 17 and 34 there are only two strings to be translated.

BTW> i don´t know if this is the Vanilla way but it is quick and works :-)

good point @wilsoncortez

the way to do is add definitions to one of the files that is read in translating definitions.

1) method one

e.g.  these two lines could be added to conf/locale.php

your conf/locale.php would look like this with other definitions.

if the file doesn't exist - create it. 

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();

$Definition['Vote Leaders'] = "My translation of Vote Leaders";
$Definition['Votes:'] = "My translation of Votes";



2) method two

add it to your other custom translations whereever you did that.

$Definition['Vote Leaders'] = "My translation of Vote Leaders";
$Definition['Votes:'] = "My translation of Votes";

I´ll go with the second one ;-)
Thanks Peregrine

Vanilla´s translation process still seems a bit cumbusome to me

It's actually quite simple - anything surrounded by a T or Translate can be translated.

cut and paste anything inside the T that you see within the code.

T("the example");

and don't change the things inside the T

add it to a definition file

e.g.

$Definition['the example"] = "my new example";

In that way you are not modifying the source code of the core, plugin, or theme.
