Hi,

I am using Jumi to create a booking form which is submitted by email. I have various fields like:

name, surname, address, etc...

My question is how can I use the multilingual facilities in Joomla? I know that this line of code:

Code:
<?php echo JText::_( 'Enter your name' );?>:


uses JText in order to be translated from the lanauges/ini's folder.

I need to do a similar thing, for instance:

Code:
<td><?php echo Jtext::_('Name*');?>:</td>


Where can I add the string Name* in order to be translated? I tried creating a file in the languages folder entitled it-it.com_jumi.ini and entered Name*=Nome inside of this file but it didn't work...

Any suggestions on how can I use this within Jumi?

Many thanks in advance for any responses.

Chris

After creating the language file in the language folder you need to load it on the page you're using Jumi.
You can use something like this :

Code:
JLanguage::load('your_language_file');


The language file has to be named like this : it-it.your_language_file.ini.

Looks like JUMI is installing already language files, but nor for Italian.
You may have to copy and translate each Jumi language file (Plugin, module, component) and change prefix to it-IT.
Adding in a JUMI file a JText will then be translated if the string is present in the it_IT language file concerned.

I am not sure it's a good idea to use a * in the JText.

Hi Algis,

Thanks for your reply.

I created the file under /languages/it-IT and named it it-IT.com_jumi.ini

I then loaded the Jumi application located under /booknow/booknow.php and entered the following at the beginning of the page:

Code:
<?php
   defined('_JEXEC') OR defined('_VALID_MOS') OR die( "Direct Access Is Not Allowed" );
   JLanguage::load('it-IT.com_jumi.ini');
?>


However, when I try loading the page, the following error message is displayed:

Code:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method JSite::_load() in /www/joomla/libraries/joomla/language/language.php on line 301


Any suggestions on why this is happening?

Many thanks
Chris

There isn't anything in the /languages folder related to Jumi. How do you know that it is installing language files automatically. I tried using it on various languages since I have 8 languages on the website, but no luck...

Please help...

Try it this way:

Code:
$language =& JFactory::getLanguage();
$language->load('com_jumi');


Do not add the language code and the ini extension.
You will have to create the language file for each language.

I downloaded Jumi and the language files are there
Example for the plugin
<languages folder="language">
<language tag="en-GB">en-GB.plg_content_jumi.ini</language>
<language tag="ru-RU">ru-RU.plg_content_jumi.ini</language>
<language tag="cs-CZ">cs-CZ.plg_content_jumi.ini</language>
<language tag="hy-AM">hy-AM.plg_content_jumi.ini</language>
<language tag="es-ES">es-ES.plg_content_jumi.ini</language>
</languages>
