vrijvlinder will give you a few fish, but I will give you the fishing rod....

what would you rather have a few measly fish or a rod!

now you don't have to settle for a few definitions to fry, you've got the whole pacific ocean.

vrijvlinder

Yes when it comes to things other than themes, I am a small fry

peregrine

I thought you were going to refer people to tutorials, instead of spoon-feeding!

He that spareth the rod...

vrijvlinder

jc made me do it....Actually when it happens that late at night sometimes I can't find the tutorials and it's faster to just do it. specially for small stuff. But it looks as though sinner got ahold of firebug and is happy now that they can do it all themselves.

hi, last time i asked about this, and i was told to edit /conf/locale.php, but i figure version 2.1 doesnt have that file in /conf, can you show me where it is in 2.1? thanks.

peregrine

create it!

just when you thought you gave the guy a rod. he asks for a life preserver.

you could change or ADD a /conf/locale.php by adding definitions to it.

e.g.

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();
$Definition['%s comment']='%s post';
$Definition['%s comments']='%s posts';
$Definition['Howdy, Stranger!'] = "Greetings, Bucko!";
$Definition['GuestModule.Message'] = "It looks like you\'re either new here or you have not logged in yet. If you want to participate in our community discussions, click one of these buttons!";

all you need in /conf/locale.php

is

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

then add any defintions you want.

vrijvlinder

applications/dashboard/locale/en-Ca

but you would add it to your own language locale or create a new file

peregrine

if it were me.

I would leave all the downloaded transifixes and locales as is.

and make my minor personal modifications to definitions via conf/locale.php

it is the EASIEST way without tying yourself up in fishing line.

but I'll have to duke it out with Vrijvlinder first. bam! bam! kaplooey! oh my. v stumbles back.....

ref counts 10 ....9...8...7...6..5..4...3...2...1

float like a butterfly - sting like a bee.

ok now you are ready to go sinner

vrijvlinder

There is no locale in conf on this 2.1 unless they missed something

so he has to create it , a folder called locale and put the files in there

peregrine

v said:
so he has to create it , a folder called locale and put the files in there

nein nicht mei you, nay. nyet no - he just creates a file called locale.php in the conf folder and puts definitions in there.

/conf/locale.php

see the tutorial

V,

it was pointed out many moons ago, there shouldn't be one in the installation source code (just as there is no config.php) because if there was it would overwrite your old one.

But you can create it caterpillar.

ok, i just created locale.php and put it in /applications/dashboard/locale/en-Ca, define as instructed, also put <?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit(); on top, but still not translating.

anyway, i have a question, i use a vietnamese language file /locales/ViVN/definition.php , i also tried to define it in this file, but it's not translating also. so, why do i have to create a different translation file for it, when i already select ViVN in admin panel as default language?

peregrine

created locale.php and put it in /applications/dashboard/locale/en-Ca, define as instructed, a

I didn't instruct you to do that and vrijvlinder is still down with a knock-out.

this is FREE, you don't have to pay for it.

please read MY comments.

please read the tutorial. after you do come back with questions.

http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/26597/tutorial-how-to-change-wording-how-to-change-text-how-to-change-language-how-to-change-locale#latest

you can add definitions in many files in your theme, in your application and in locale.

you can add the definitions to your already existing vietnamese locale. but I still think what I suggested is better for the reasons discussed in the thread and tutorial.

sinner

ok, i just read, and re-do this, created locale.php and put it in /conf , deleted cache files, refresh, but still not translating. i open the locale_map.ini file, it shows:

[vi-VN]
0 = "/home4/giesu/public_html/forum/locales/ViVN/definitions.php"
1 = "/home4/giesu/public_html/forum/conf/locale.php"

am i doing something wrong here? should 0 = /home4/giesu/public_html/forum/conf/locale.php" ?

i think it's not reading the locale.php first.

peregrine

should 0 = /home4/giesu/public_html/forum/conf/locale.php" ?

no...

it's correctly reading the locale file based on what you said.

what definitions are you trying to change?

sinner

i'm trying to change the "views" and "comment" or comments (screenshot attached)

peregrine

and post your conf/locale.php

and what theme?

sinner

i'm using bootstrap "readable" theme , conf/locale.php:

1. <?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();
3. $Definition['%s comment'] = '%s Trả lời';
4. $Definition['%s comments'] = '%s Trả lời';
5. $Definition['%s views'] = '% Lượt xem';
6. $Definition['%s view'] = '% Lượt xem';

peregrine

try this in conf/locale.php and report back sir

$Definition['%s view html'] = '%s Lượt xem';
$Definition['%s views html'] = '%s Lượt xem';
$Definition['%s comment html'] = '%s  Trả lời';
$Definition['%s comments html'] = '%s   Trả lời';

send donation to vrijvlinder if you want.

vrijvlinder

no, send it to peregrine !! he lives in a favela and needs help to get a better life

sinner

works great, but why did you include the "html" in there?
