How to translate calendar days and months in ChronoForms 7.

Overview

The calendar translation method from CF6 does not work in CF7, and adding a new language directly to the core file risks being overwritten during updates.
Add your translation array to the specified locale file, but to prevent overwrites during updates, you should create a custom override or language file instead of modifying the core file directly.

how can I translate the months in the calendar?

St StefaNovak 04 Jan, 2024

since I didn't get any information from support, I looked for it myself. Translations are in /administrator/components/com_chronoforms7/chronoforms/views/field_calendar/behaviors/field_calendar_locale/field_calendar_locale_output.php

Here I can replace for example Russian with the required translation.

But I don't know how to add another language and how to make it so that the file doesn't get overwritten when reinstalling or updating.

Can support advise me this time since I'm paying for it?

Answer

at that file you can find the translation array, just add your own:


'it' => [
			'days' => ['Do', 'Lu', 'Ma', 'Me', 'Gi', 'Ve', 'Sa'],
			"fulldays" => ["Domenica", "Lunedì", "Martedì", "Mercoledì", "Giovedì", "Venerdì", "Sabato"],
			'months' => ['Gennaio', 'Febbraio', 'Marzo', 'Aprile', 'Maggio', 'Giugno', 'Luglio', 'Agosto', 'Settembre', 'Ottobre', 'Novembre', 'Dicembre'],
			'monthsshort' => ['Gen', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'Mag', 'Giu', 'Lug', 'Ago', 'Set', 'Ott', 'Nov', "Dic"],
		],

When I add another item in that field, it doesn't appear in the arministration as an option, I have to overwrite some existing language.
And how do I make sure that this is not overwritten when updating chronoforms?
