Hi there,)
Just installed the ChronoForums V1.1
Like it! Thank you!
One problem.
I can't understand how to change the language or some words. For example "Board Index" and so on...
I tried looking for the language .ini files with "Board Index" and so on... nothing
How can I change the language?
Is it possible?
Thanks for any advice!

PS
This is only one reason which keeps me to buy it.😟

Hello Digico,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:
How can I change the language used in Validation messages?
P.S: I'm just an automated service😉

Cool feature the calculus00!)
But, my question is not about ChronoForms...
Please help.
I will wait any answers. Thanks!

Hi Digico,

Which language do you need ? the new release has many new translations.

Max

I will run my site in pt-BR.

I found the pt-PT files under components/com_chronoforums/chronoforums/locales

Now...what? I can't find anything under Settings that will change the frontend to Portugal Portuguese.

I tried to follow this "tutorial" but it seems things are not like that anymore - http://www.chronoengine.com/forums/posts/f30/t91331/how-to-translate-chronoforum.html?hilit=translation+chronoforums

Can you provide some updated tutorial for those who need ChronoForums in another language?

Thank you!

Hi helvecio,

The language should change automatically when you site language is set to Portuguese.

Hello admin,
Unfortunately it didn't.
I didn't quite understand how to make changes to the included language packs to make them visible to the system.
I see you have pt-PT, but my site runs under pt-BR. I make a copy of the folder, looked into the code to make changes, tried a few things, but nothing.
If you can clarify where I should make changes, I'd appreciate it very much.

Hi Digico,

I don't have ChronoForums installed to check but I expect that if you copy the pt-PT files in the locales folder and rename them to pt-BR that may work.

I've already copied the pt_pt folder and renamed it to:
- pt_br
- pt_BR
- pt-br
- pt-BR
So far, no luck!

If you need pt_br then not only you need to change the folder name from "pt_pt" to "pt_br", but also you need to open the folder and open the "lang.php" file, find the "PtPt" string and change it to "PtBr".

Hi all

How to make your own language files

Here is how I did it to Swedish language

Language for the administrator side

1. Open folder /administrator/components/com_chronoforums/chronoforums/locales
2. Create a folder of your language (i:e sv_se)
3. Copy the language file "lang.php" from folder en_gb
4. Paste the file "lang.php" into your own folder (i:e sv_se)
5. Start to translate the strings that you want to be translated.
6. Save the file (in utf-8 without bom)
7. Do not forget to change line 9 " namespace GCore\Admin\Extensions\Chronoforums\Locales\EnGb; " to " namespace GCore\Admin\Extensions\Chronoforums\Locales\SvSE; "


Language for the front side

1. Open folder /components/com_chronoforums/chronoforums/locales
2. Create a folder of your language (i:e sv_se)
3. Copy the language file "lang.php" from folder en_gb
4. Paste the file "lang.php" into your own folder (i:e sv_se)
5. Start to translate the strings that you want to be translated.
6. Save the file (in utf-8 without bom)
7. Do not forget to change line 9 " namespace GCore\Extensions\Chronoforums\Locales\EnGb; " to " namespace GCore\Extensions\Chronoforums\Locales\SvSE; "
8. Do not forget to change line 12 " class Lang extends \GCore\Admin\Extensions\Chronoforums\Locales\EnGb\Lang to " class Lang extends \GCore\Admin\Extensions\Chronoforums\Locales\SvSe\Lang "

Of course you have to change "SvSe" in to your own language, for example "PtBr" and your sites language should be the same "PtBr"

Great!
Thanks! It worked!
Partially though...
"Search all forums..." and "Search this forum..." input fields have not been translated
The buttons "Unanswered", "New", "Active" and their tooltips have also no been translated. "New Topic" hasn't also been translated.
Also buttons within the topic: "Unanswered", "New", "Active", "My topics", "My profile"
Error display "You don't have enough permissions to read this topic."
That's all I can see so far.
I'll be glad to put together a tutorial for you once I'm finished.
Thanks

You will need to find the English constants of those strings and update the Portuguese file to include them, we didn't receive an update for the file yet.

I've seen a lot of missing strings in the pt-pt lang.php file.
Where do I send an updated version to?
Thanks!

You can attach it here after you finish or send it using the "contact us" page (better)
