How to Translate Poll Results

Post by gato_negro » Wed Mar 09, 2011 12:44 am

Hello,

I'm wondering if there is a way to translate certain words that appear on the results page of a poll. The site is http://www.coronacapitalgroup.com if someone would like to see. Poll is on right side. I'm attaching a screen shot as well of the words I'd like to be able to translate if possible.

Thanks so much.

Trevor

a lot of those can be found in the poll language file.
/language/xx-xx/xx-xx.com_poll.ini
based on what language files you are using you would replace the "xx-xx" (example:en-GB).

Hi NyHick,

Thanks for such a quick response. I see that file but it's already in Spanish as follows:

But it only displays in English for some reason.

Check the mod_poll.ini file in the same directory and 1) make sure it exists and 2) is translated.

Thanks again. I checked and yes it exists and yes it's in Spanish but site still displaying those items I circled in English even though the rest of the site translates fine.

Fyi, the Spanish language file seemed to load. Perhaps it was a cache issue, however there are still 3 language strings that won't translate which are "Hits, Percent and Graph" as circled in the screen shot. Those still don't translate.

I found a topic that is related posted about Beez template. I'm not using Beez template but maybe this will work?

Nope, it is not Spanish only. The following words are also not in Turkish language file tr-TR.com_poll.ini:

Hits
Percent
Graph

I looked for the following but could not find anything:

* No JText calls in any files
* No hard-coded strings in any files
* No data in database tables
* BTW: The English language file does not contain these, so thay must come from somewhere else. There are shown with "??" in language debug.

Very interesting !

SOLUTION:

Open Your language ini file from /language/xx-XX/xx-XX.ini and add
HITS=Your translation
PERCENT=Your translation
GRAPH=Your translation
at the end of file and save and upload edited xx-XX.ini file to server
It's all :)

With the newer Joomla! versions use the language override files for similar purposes. The method described above will be vulnerable when Joomla (and language files) get updated.

PS: I didn't use default poll on later Joomla! versions, so I don't know if the problem persists there.
