I'm sure it's fine to add common HTML tags in the .ini files while translating, but I'd like verification. For example, I noticed that in
en-GB.com_config.ini (in Administrator), some of the tooltips use the emphasis tag for the title names, but one or two titles lacked that, so I added them. Also and .
definitely does work to end a line!
Generally, I'll stick to what I see in the original en-GB file, but inserting common tags and escapes might be helpful, just want to know what you think.

I suggest you report your findings in the 1.5 Q&T forum in order for devs to correct the output if necessary.
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/board,199.0.html

Please do state the SVN number or date of nightly build as all strings may have been corrected since RC1.

No errors, just a matter of styling! I just wanted 'permission' to use tags.
I'll just go ahead and use them, they work fine.

HTML can be used in ini files but should NOT contain the equal sign (=), otherwise the PHP function parse_ini_file which is probably used by Joomla to read these files will throw an error.

Thank you! I'm glad I've been cautious about it and just used the tag.

There is absolutely no problem using HTML to improve the appearance of the language files, and how you choose to do that for your own translation is entirely up to you. There are many examples that I would like to improve in the en-GB files but time constraints prohibit this for now. This is more feature request then essential priority. Making sure the translation strings are there and complete are my priority for the moment.
Regards

Andy

ps the same goes for cleaning up the deprecated strings that still exist in abundance at the present time, there is nothing stopping their removal "locally" if that is what is desired just list these in the translation together with the file name and they can be removed from en_GB as I get chance.

Hi giannis_rx,

Try adding the <a href for the url, if that is what you are asking :)
Code:
YOU ARE ALREADY REGISTERED.=You alreade registered.<br />Go back <a href="http://www.joomla.org">http://www.joomla.org</a>

Ok, we had a similar report in the last days concerning another string from the ini-files.

Will have a closer look at this one too

One can add a "normal" link to any string in Joomla.
If the string is displayed on site, the html will be correctly displayed.
If the string is sent by mail then it should be formatted as
<a href="http://www.joomla.org"</a>
The url will be clickable but will display the tags in the mail client.

One could add http headers in the string in order to display formatting in the email client, similar to a Newsletter, but that would be quite heavy.

Concerning the use of html tags generally, it may depend on the string. In some cases, it is advised to use html entities for the tags and special characters as "="

Exemple:
<jdoc:include type = "message" /> in the description of an extension will not display.
But
&lt;jdoc:include type &#x003D; "message" /&gt;
will.

The use of single quotes (and other special chars as | ) is strictly depending on the way the string is parsed to display.
They may have to be escaped to avoid breaking some code
\' and \|

Example
ICON_SEP=\|
in language/en-GB/en-GB.ini

Hi all :)

Sorry to revive this old thread but adding html to the .ini language file does not work for me.
The html appears as code.

Code:
Your Account has been successfully activated. You can now <a href="#login">log in using the username and password</a> you chose during the registration.


Any help would be appreciated. ;)

You might also want to try using entities instead of = and #

Hi people,

I am going through the same problem, i am using pt-BR language file, and i am trying to insert html code into the new user welcome mail, but the e-mails show the code (Tags) instead of just "teste"

I edited the line 30 as below:

NEW_USER_MESSAGE=<html><head></head><body>teste</body></html>

Have tried many other ways. Any trick?

When I change another *.ini field, the site recognize ok, but when the field is about mail, it do not work.
In Portuguese I have to put this e-mail in html format because I need to show characters like “ç” “á” “ê”. So I need to write it in UTF-8 coding. You see?

thanks in advance

Alexandre Mello

Nope, html formatting as nothing to do with UTF8 charset.
If your ini mail string contains utf8 characters, they should display OK in the mail sent.

Joomla mail are sent with
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"

<x-charset utf-8>
some text

</x-charset>

I was wondering if you could reference image files to display and internal links via the language file as well. If so would you kindly tell me how?

Except that double quotes should not exist in a constant value in 2.5.x/3.x

example of use:

JLIB_DATABASE_ERROR_FUNCTION_FAILED="DB function failed with error number %s <br /><span style="_QQ_"color: red;"_QQ_">%s</span>"

yes you can, but sometimes that will not work.
So better use
"_QQ_"

in the value when you need a doublequote.
