The Localization module aims to help you localise the system and can be used to translate the Control Panel interface and messages into many languages.
The module allows to:
- translate all messages into different languages (table headers, links, buttons etc.; all language messages are stored in special files);
- define the correct charset for each language (additional settings); the language file editing page displays all messages that has the same charset as the current page (current charset is the property of the current site);
- use templates in messages; original messages contain templates like "#ID#", "#COUNT#". These templates must be preserved when translating;
- use all HTML tags in messages.
The translation interface is extremely simple in handling. Files are displayed as a catalog. To translate the message, simply open it and type a new text in the provided fields.
The Localization module features:
- catalogs with language files mirror the structure of files and folders;
- count of translated and untranslated messages for each file and folder;
- you can choose to view all messages or untranslated only.
