In this tutorial you will learn how to translate Projectfork 3.0 and how to create an installable language package.
How to translate
The best way to start your translation is to work with the example language package that ships with every Projectfork package. The example language (example_language.zip) can be found in "/administrator/components/com_projectfork/_dev". Extract this package to your desktop and translate all *.ini files in the "data" folder by using a regular text editor.
Each file contains language strings of a specific Projectfork extension and type. When translating the files, make sure you save them in UTF-8 format!
Update the XML file
When you're done translating, rename the XML file (example_language.xml) to the name of your language (for example: german.xml). And finally, open the XML file and update it according to the instructions found inside the file.
Create the install package
Once you have everything ready, create a new .zip package a put the XML file and the "data" folder into it. Then try to install the package in Projectfork to make sure everything works.
Share it
Please share your translations with us and the Projectfork community! You can submit your install packages in the forum. Thank you!
