Just add in each override

JPlugin::loadLanguage( 'tpl_nameoftemplate' );

Then add the strings in the en-GB.tpl_nameoftemplate.ini file frontend file.

Enjoy !

EDIT:
Other solution

$lang =& JFactory::getLanguage();
$lang->load('tpl_nameoftemplate', JPATH_SITE); // or JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR if the template language file is only present in the admin language folder(s)

Good find JM, a quick note though, the JPlugin::loadLanguage is not intended to be used in template override scope. I can not guarantee that this method will keep functioning in future versions.

I guess you guys will devise a better way to get the overrides to accept language strings in future versions (although keeping this works OK).
In the meanwhile, this will help all template designers and does not cost one line of code.

Hello,

I'm sory but i don't understand where the en-GB.tpl_nameoftemplate.ini file has to be saved. Can you be more specific ?

Thanks

Some templates do not have that file, others do (milkyway).
If it does not exist, create it in languages/en-GB/
The file can also be loaded in a template package with the following tags in the xml

Code: Select all

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

thanks for the TIP
but I couldn't understand the thread if you got any full reference for overrides and the benefits of it
Please advice

thanks again

This is used when you have occurences of JText in the index.php of your template and the template is distributed over the Net to people not using the same language as yours.

Example for Milkyway:

Code: Select all

<p id="power_by">
<?php echo JText::_('Powered by') ?> <a href="http://www.joomla.org">Joomla!</a>.
<?php echo JText::_('Valid') ?> <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer">XHTML</a> <?php echo JText::_('and') ?> <a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/check/referer">CSS</a>.
</p>

About, Just add in each override

JPlugin::loadLanguage( 'tpl_nameoftemplate' );

Then add the strings in the en-GB.tpl_nameoftemplate.ini file frontend file.

Hi
I am new in all this but learning

Please, i like to know when this become useful. I would have thought that most template would come with English as the main language. Is this plugin for other languages?

I am agree with you.

I wrote a very small plugin that does this for all components and addons (as well as Joomla core translation strings) so that it can be applied to any template with no code changes and can maintain separate translations in different addons (in case the same string is repeated).

See http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... tion/13147

@Geraint - Thank you! It works beautifully! You just saved me a couple hours of coding.

anybody checked this if have problem with joomfish component ?

Posted: **Wed Nov 03, 2010 3:27 pm**

As the co-author of Joomfish I can confirm that this should have no impact on the behaviour joomfish.

This addon works on the Joomla language string translation and not your website content.

Hi, infograf768

I'm in the process of overriding the output of com_search in J! 1.7 Frontend and try to use the trick above.

1. I edit the default_result.php, and then put the file in the template HTML folder, as for template override in Beez5.

Code: Select all

<?php 
	echo JText::sprintf('TPL_BEEZ5_COM_SEARCH_CATEGORY', $url); 				
?>

2. Edit the en-GB.tpl_beez5.ini, by inserting a new entry

Code: Select all

TPL_BEEZ5_COM_SEARCH_CATEGORY="%s"

It work perfectly without JPlugin::loadLanguage( 'tpl_nameoftemplate' );

My question, is it okay for J! 1.7 and how to use the
JPlugin::loadLanguage( 'tpl_nameoftemplate' );
in my case?

Thanks

Hi
Right now you can also do this using either method and add language strings in overrides is better?
also Joomla language string translation ?
What about other languages like Arabic and Turkish?

Here can I get more information about this topic?
