How to change Private_Messages to Dutch? :: Archived

CJ11

Hi all,

I have downloaded and installed the dutch language file for the Private_messages module. Some parts of it are still in English though. In the general preferences box I set language to Dutch, but nottin changes. Any help on how to set it right? Embarassed

P.S. I would also like to set the height of the Private_messages box higher, any thoughts where exactly to do this?

Not all is translated yet, so you have to do it yourself Big grin

Thanx Phoenix and Kokkieblanka

But, I allready saw the option on my website with the ability to change words from one language to the next, and that's not it. Thing is : I checked the dutch language file for the Private_messages and the translation for the word "Inbox" was described there :

Code::

define("_BBINBOX","Binnengekomen");

So I got :
- the dutch language file installed for PM
- main setting for site is 'Dutch'
- dutch translation for 'Inbox' is present

And it won't work.... It still gives :

Quote::

Inbox Sentbox Outbox Savebox

See?, I must be doing something incredibly stupid here Embarassed

Can you help me (again)?

Greetz,

Boy, do I feel stupid Embarassed

Do I need to install these? I am really sorry, but the link doesn't contain downloadable files. Shocked

One more time plzzz, I dunno what a CVS is. Do I need to do what exactly?

Hi Akamu,

Thank you very, very much. It worked.

Well, most of it, lol. It still gives the 'Inbox Sentbox Outbox Savebox' at the top. I noticed in the subdir \Forums\language also the file 'lang-english.php'. Does there need to be a 'lang-dutch.php' file there too? Basically a copy of the same 'lang-english.php' but then translated in dutch?

If that needs to be done, I'll do the translating for you, so others will benefit too.

Greetz,

CJ

ah they are not translated
around line 447 lang_main.php

PHP:

 $lang['Inbox'] = 'Inbox';
$lang['Outbox'] = 'Outbox';
$lang['Savebox'] = 'Savebox';
$lang['Sentbox'] = 'Sentbox';

change to:

PHP:

 $lang['Inbox'] = 'Postvak in';
$lang['Outbox'] = 'Postvak uit';
$lang['Savebox'] = 'Opgeslagen berichten';
$lang['Sentbox'] = 'Verzonden';

lang-english.php is for future use no need to translate yet....

Can't tell you how much I appreciate your help.

Thing is : I tried looking with the explorer for files with extension .php and the line 'Inbox', but the thing came up blank. So it's not like a wanna bother you with, I guess, small stuff like this (allthough when I devellop code it's seems like the most important thing in the world at that point lol).

I guess I need to find an effective way of scanning my files for certain strings, because when all else fails, I bother you guys with it Sad

, and trust me, I value and appreciate what you do

Thank you

Open het bestand met notepad of ultraedit. Met explorer zal het nooit werken.
Verander de code in wat is aangegeven en sla het bestand dan op als .php en niet al .txt bestand. Upload het dan naar de betreffende map op je server en alles zou dan moeten werken Very Happy

Alweer een nederlander hier, leuk, en bedankt voor de tip. I'll have a look.
