Language Variables

ThemeSteamThemeSteam I love VanillaForums

HI,
I'm a theme developer and need to create multi language themes, is there a way to use a language variable instead of static words? I want dynamic codes. for example {Lang_Discussions}

Thanks

    You can use {t c="Foo"} in Smarty to utilize Vanilla's localization functionality. More info can be found here: http://docs.vanillaforums.com/theming/smarty/i18n/

    Thanks Kasper,
    Can you explain more? Where can I find all {t} strings? i am interested using the default ones.

    No problem! All default locale strings can be found on Transifex (account required): https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/vanilla/language/en/

    Thanks Again Master,

    for example :
    $Definition['xctivity'] = 'Xctivity';
    {t c="xctivity"}
    Is that correct?

    Also can i add custom strings?
    themefolder/locale/en-CA.php

    Sorry if I ask too much ... Your information can open a door.
    Sincerely

    You should be able to add locale definitions via your theme.

    No problem! You're spot on, yes; that would be the correct use of {t}. Custom locale strings can indeed be put in the locale/en-CA.php file of your theme. You can of course also add other languages than en-CA.

    Thanks both,

    There is a problem! I create a php file in theme/locale/en-CA.php and wrote:

    <?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();
    
    $LocaleInfo['skeleton'] = array( // make sure the key of this array is the same as its folder name.
       'Locale'       => 'en-CA',
       'Name'         => 'example',
       'Description'  => 'example',
       'Version'      => '1.0.0',
       'Author'       => "Charlie",
       'AuthorEmail'  => 'Your Email',
       'AuthorUrl'    => 'http://your.domain.com',
       'License'      => 'Your choice of license'
    );
    
    $Definition['Hithere'] = 'Hi there';
    

    Then i wrote this in default.master.tpl:
    {t c="Hithere"}

    But vanilla still shows Hithere!
    Where is my mistake?

    Many Thanks

    Get rid of the the locale info array. That is not needed.
