The examples uses the language model for I18N of the plugin, but does not show how this elements are added to the plugin the language directories.

Looking at profile5.xml it indicates that the language files are to be found in:


But these are the language files for the User:Profile plugin. So basically, the language translations would need to be done on another plugin's language files?

Should this tutorial show the plugin containing its own language files? For example:

Actually, after lots of trial and error, I have found a few other things that needed to be updated, so the changes are now published. Hope they work for others and save you some time doing your first user profile extension plugin.

profile to profile5[edit]

I made the changes for plug-in to work as expected.

If profile keys stay the same in database, profile plugin wipes out profile5 keys and vice versa.
