How to create localized CORE language packs[edit]

Notes[edit]

  • ALL FILES MUST BE SAVED AS UTF8 NO BOM (for non-ascii glyphs as in accented letters, etc.)
  • The Localise component may help you create and update the ini files
  • As of Joomla! 3.2.0, en-GB is always loading first. Therefore if a string is missing or if there is a parsing error in a language pack, the English value will be displayed.

Full language packs[edit]

* fr-FR is taken as an example of language prefix. A full language pack will contain translations for site and admin parts.

  1. In the case of a FULL pack, the package is composed of 3 files, then zipped.
    • pkg_fr-FR.xml
    • site_fr-FR.zip
    • admin_fr-FR.zip
  2. Naming of the pack
    • fr-FR_joomla_lang_full_3.4.1v1.zip
  3. Files required for partial deletion
    • each pack should include a fr-FR.lib_joomla.ini and a fr-FR.localise.php to cope for deletion of site or admin pack by the user.
    • IMPORTANT: Since some administrator ini files are necessary in front-end and some changes were brought in the loading of the plugin ini files, it is always necessary to include some admin part in the final pack, even for a 'site-only' pack. See below The Site-only pack

A pkg_fr-FR.xml file[edit]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<extension type="package" version="3.4" method="upgrade"> <! method="upgrade" is compulsory since 3.4 -->
	<name>French_fr-FR</name>
	<packagename>fr-FR</packagename> <!-- the packagename has to be the same as the name of pkg_whatever.xml -->
	<version>3.4.1.1</version> <!-- change the version # 3.x.x.x when updating, will display in manager -->

Note: TinyMCE files are no more needed for 3.2. They are now shipped with core. If your language is missing, please contact the Translation Team coordination.

One zip per client (i.e. site and admin)[edit]

  • site_fr-FR.zip
  • admin_fr-FR.zip

Notes:

  • fr-FR.lib_joomla.ini : Add in both admin and site At least in site if "site only pack", see below
  • fr-FR.css : NEW IN 1.7: this file can be added in the ADMINISTRATOR pack if one wants to change the fonts used to display the back-end interface.
  • fr-FR.xml : Note the file="meta" tag, telling it's the basic xml holding info about the pack.
  • install.xml : Mandatory! This file lets uninstall a language. Note file="meta"
  • fr-FR.localise.php : Add in both admin and site. At least in site if "site only pack", see below
  • Folder media destination="fr-FR" : If one needs to add a specific calendar

All the ini files[edit]

Beware of new formatting!

  • Double quotes in the value should be written as "_QQ_" or as &quot;

Notes:

  • <locale> the locale is used to sort translated lists when present on the server.
  • <firstDay>1</firstDay> used for the Calendar icon to specify what is the first day of the week in that language. 0 is Sunday, 1 is Monday, etc.
  • <weekEnd>0,6</weekEnd> used for the Calendar, I defines the days of the week to be greyed. 0,6 is Saturday & Sunday, 1 would be Friday.

the fr-FR.localise.php[edit]

This file should be present at least in site zip

Explanation of this file: It replaces the fr-FR.ignore.php and it can be customized depending on languages.

  • Ignore search words.
  • Define upper and lower limit of search words length.
  • Define number of characters to display for the result of the search.
  • Define specific plural functionality for some languages where the value of the string can change depending on the count (Russian for example).
  • Define custom transliteration (i.e. when NOT using the Unicode URLS parameter in Global Configuration) to ensure proper change of some alphabets to ascii for the alias used when SEF is on. (The transliteration which is now default in 1.7 should take care of all latin-based languages.)
  • Define a custom calendar by adding a function as well as some js files

ALWAYS SAVE THIS FILE AS UTF8 NO BOM if it contains non-ascii glyphs (accented letters, etc.)

The Site-only pack[edit]

Concerning those of you providing "site only" packs:


I.e. IT IS NECESSARY TO PROVIDE AN ADMIN PACK WITH ALL FILES, SOME OF THEM SHOULD BE TRANSLATED and to post a unique package as for a real "full" pack (See above).

Why? ==> because some plugin ini files are used in front-end! Here is a typical administrator install.xml in this case. Example for 3.3.x, the files to translate are indicated by =======> :

For the unstranslated files, just copy the en-GB ones and change the language prefix.

What not to translate[edit]

Don't translate these lines

  • file fr-FR.ini = the lines for "JHELP_COMPONENTS_"

example: 

JHELP_COMPONENTS_MESSAGING_INBOX="Components_Messaging_Inbox"

They are used for mapping the help. When a specific wiki for help per language is available, they will be functional.
