[Sai]

Follow the procedure given below to translate vtiger CRM 5 user interface from English to any international language.

Step 1:

1) Copy the following files inside the vtigercrm home directory, say if your language is Russian, copy the en_us.lang.php files to "ru_ru.lang.php" in their respective location, edit the "ru_ru.lang.php" files, and translate the label values given in these files to Russian.

List of Files to be translates:

Vendors/language/en_us.lang.php

Potentials/language/en_us.lang.php

Administration/language/en_us.lang.php

Dashboard/language/en_us.lang.php

Yahoo/language/en_us.lang.php

Faq/language/en_us.lang.php

Contacts/language/en_us.lang.php

Webmails/language/en_us.lang.php

include/language/en_us.lang.php

Step 2:

Add an entry (say for Russian 'ru_ru'=>'Russian') to the language array ($languages) in the following files:

install/4createConfigFile.php
config.php

now the array will look like:

$languages = Array('en_us'=>'US English','ru_ru'=>'Russian',);

Step 3:

Now Login to vtigerCRM (if you have already logged in, Logout and re-login), select your Language (Russian) in the Login page.

Note: The key name given in the $languages array, will be the prefix of the language files for that package. (here 'ru_ru' is the key name, therefore the Russian language files will have the name ru_ru.lang.php, the same rules holds good for other language packages also).

Step 4:

Change the character encoding:

Code: $default_charset = 'ISO-8859-1';

to

Code: $default_charset = 'UTF-8';

Follow the procedure given in KBase to install language packs:

[code]$lang = 'ru_ru'; // Your language code in ISO-XXX
$encode = 'UTF-8'; // The encode you want to use[code]

language_pack.php

[code]$target = 'C:/vtiger';
$lang = 'zh-tw';[/code]

[code]$target = 'C:/vtiger';
$lang = 'ru_ru';[/code]

for unix-like users
[code]$target = '/tmp/vtiger';
$lang = 'ru_ru';[/code]

Hi,

I have posted a manual procedure to translate vtiger. But the tool you are providing is better than the manual process.

Please let me know, is it OK if we integrate your contribution with main branch of vtiger CRM so that we can by default bundle your translation tool?

Regards,
Gopal

[kiang]

Sure, it's OK. :)

[kiang]

I fixed some bugs and uploaded new release of language tools scripts:

https://vtigerforge.fosslabs.com/frs/download.php/49/language_tools.zip

If you had downloaded before, please re-download it. ^^||

All works fine, but I can't find where it packs my language files, or if the "language_pack.php" works.

Good work.

Good work.

Try to modify the value of '$target' & '$lang' in "language_pack.php" as you wish. :)

[rasomu]

I have done it but nothing happens;

$target = 'C:\Archivos de programa\xampp\htdocs\crm';
$lang = 'es_es';

I'm working in a 2003 server enviroment with last version of xampp.

What should "language_pack.php" do when I call it?

Thanks.

Maybe you could use 'C:/vtiger' instead. Then open your browser and type the url like 'http://your-domain-name/vtiger/language_pack.php'. If there are no errors, you could find all language files in 'C:/vtiger'. Just compress this folder(zip?) and upload the archive here to share with us. :)
