Can categories be translated for localization?

I`ve tried to create new categorie - News and add $Definition['News'] = 'news'; to localization file, but it does not work, at least it seams so.
Is it possible to translate categories names?

    You just rename the category.

    Unless you are serving multiple languages there is no need for this.

    grep is your friend.

    It is very easy. Just add this line after inside the foreach loop in AddCategoryColumns function (applications/vanilla/models/class.categorymodel.php):

    $Category->Name = T($Category->Name);

    @im_dario request a hook, you should avoid editing the core.

    grep is your friend.

    @x00 I'm newbie in Vanilla. I understand that I should request a hook for manipulating categories. Meanwhile, I'm editing the core because I need to open a forum today. Thanks!

    I think that might actually be a great (and simple) patch.

    @Lincoln what do you think?

    There was an error rendering this rich post.
