template language override not working

[mehdir]

How do I need to specify a language override for my template in order for Joomla! to use it?

It's specific language tags for the COM_STORELOCATOR component.

<languages folder="language">
<language tag="en-GB">en-GB/en-GB.tpl_XXX.ini</language>
</languages>

Go to the Language Manager, click on the tab Override, choose the appropriate language/location combination, click on the icon titled New. In the resultant page you could define the language override string as you wish. The help text in the page is sufficient enough to guide you.

Are you referring to this?

If the Constant is added in code (example: COM_STORELOCATOR_MYSTRING) , then the strings have to be added in the specific component ini file for your language, not in the template.
If the constant exists already and you need to override its value, use the Language Manager=>Overrides.

If, as stated in the link above, you have a "normal" text entered in the db that needs to be translated depending on language used, then you would have to save it as a constant and modify the code to translate it when displayed with a JText::_($variable)
