Yes Dave, the standard language at Oxwall is of course English (USA) and we have cloned this and translated it into Dutch.
However, if the website language is changed to your choice, the title does not change to this choice but remains in the default language.
First try to fill in all the missing text (with the standard installation there are always a few missing, is our experience), then install the plugins of your choice.
Then the situation is in English (USA) for all plugins and basic software.
Then clone the entire language (see attachment), where you can name the language and choose the flag for it.
Then you can easily translate all the text of the clone because you have already indicated the correct flag and name.
I was ask if you did have any tricks for fast translate the entirely english cloned language pack rather then manually translate one and one language keys.(i know how to clone a language in oxwall)
i suggested someone create a translation plugin where you can translate the value boxes in admin language key panel
right now google translate page is ignore this boxes but i have read it is possible make google translate not ignore this boxes and then you will qucikly translate 20 keys in one click
and if you want advance you can try make the pages load more values then 20 keys :)
i was hope someone create such plugin but nobody have jump on the train yet :)
PS. i know google translate is not always translate correct but for me i not have the time or money to translate let says 10 languages 100% correct and hire someone on freelancer to do it. thats why i think google translate "plugin" is a option for they who have not the money hire people translate your oxwall page in many languages.
another option someone likes is use "live google translate" widget, but then you SEO will bee not good at all so that option i not want to go for
Anyways maybe little off topic now
Ow-ghost
Take for example, the "Newsfeed" widget, which we call "The latest news" in Dutch.
In our case on the main page is it called "The latest news" because Dutch is set as the default language.
If a visitor / member wants the website in English, the Dutch text remains.
Mind you, we are talking about the title of the widget.
We hope that we explain it as clearly as possible.
public static function getStandardSettingValueList()
{
return array(
self::SETTING_SHOW_TITLE => true,
self::SETTING_TITLE => OW::getLanguage()->text('newsfeed', 'widget_feed_title'),
self::SETTING_WRAP_IN_BOX => false,
self::SETTING_ICON => self::ICON_CLOCK
);
}
So it looks like widget_feed_title is the lang key you want to change, try that..
Unfortunately Dave, but language keys have been translated (see attach).
We have no idea what the cause should be.
There are only 2 languages available on this website so it can't be really confusing with the translation.
The "Detect Lang" plugin is installed, so for those English speakers who have set English as standard on their device, all texts should still be in English.
However, on a website where this plugin is not installed, the standard Dutch text remains.
We regularly empty the cache Marcus.
As far as we can see, it is only on the Titles of the widget, even though they are translated.
The "Detect Lang" plugin has no influence on this because the problem also occurs on another website of ours where this plugin is not installed.
Platform version also has nothing to do with it, on 1.8.4 of Oxwall it occurs and also on the 1.9.10 version of Chamial.
I go to main page and click on customize this page
then click on the gear for newsfeed and change the title
then click save and then click finished customizing
and the title changes but if you add a language it does not change for the new language.
is that correct?
Indeed Dave, whether we change the text on the main page in customizing mode or we translate it in the admin section, the text is then changed.
But, when we change the language selection at the top right from Dutch to English, the text of the title remains the same.
Juste delete the line with "index-NEWSFEED_CMP_SiteFeedWidget" and the widget will use the text key 'newsfeed+widget_feed_title' again.
but it's not in your screenshot, so maybe this solution is not ok for you :/
Try putting a unique name like "abcde" with customise this page, and after that look for it in the database. Maybe it can help...
i am actually using chamial, maybe this is different ?
