Use JText in plugins?

Post by mludwig » Mon Jul 28, 2008 12:35 pm

I am writing a 1.5 Native Plugin and having some problems with the languages. While I was able to add a language file, install it and it is currently used to translate strings in the back-end plugin configuration page, I cannot figure out how to make strings from this file available to the plugin script itself (for error messages, for example). Any JText call in the plugin PHP file doesn't get translated.
Is this a feature request or did I just miss something?

You need to manually load the translations for plugins using

$this->loadLanguage( );

in the plugins constructor.
