Hi. Have you changed the original english words inside the php files of your theme?

Have you generated .mo files from the .po ones in the languane that does not "work" ?

[SEE]

Marius, thanks fr your reply,...
I have not placed those words in any lang folder,... the thing is, it does not work neither in German... but also the problem is, that it appears in the foreign language... what i mean is,..    You have the English word, the origiinal.... and the website default is also the original(eng) and the words appear in other language..., and even if you change from the flag language, the menu does not change...

if you install another language, then under CATEGORIES in the ADMIN PANEL you can translate the word, and I did,... is it necessary also to change it in the lanf folder aswell

[marius-ciclistu]

ok.
Look into your oc-content/languages/en_US folder.

Open core.po

Find in it the names of categories in english. Those names are IDs. If you change a category name in your admin,
for example 'For sale' you make it 'Sale'.
In core.po (en_US) you have:

Code: [Select]

#: oc-includes/osclass/installer/basic_data.php:4
msgid "For sale"
msgstr ""
In core.po (german) you will have

Code: [Select]

#: oc-includes/osclass/installer/basic_data.php:4
msgid "For sale"
msgstr "Zu verkaufen"
In order for it to work you must replace 'For sale' in all language .po files and generate the .mo files with Poedit program.

If you add more categories, you add into your .po files  in each of your language something like this (for german for ex).

Code: [Select]

#: oc-includes/osclass/installer/basic_data.php:4
msgid "New category"
msgstr "Neue kategorie"

Hey really thanks trying to help me... this is such a pain...

in the US folder there is no category name... so I did include them, I even put them in theme.po ... of course everything was generated in .mo . I have translated in the past titles and other stuff, and it worked... however this seem to be a real stupid problem .... It should have worked in first place from the Back end Admin... thats i guess why they made it like this..so you can translate right away...

I am German, so we can try also to translate in German as well... will be the same problem...

Sieht nach dem gleichen Problem aus, das ich auch mal hatte...

Thanks to Liath: https://forums.osclass.org/modern/categories-translation/msg116959/#msg116959

[SEE]

I have translated it... but the bug seems that.. when you switch lang, it does not execute the categories... it is so crazy that even if i disable the lang, it stil shows it in GR...

Im not a programmer... so if someone can help here,... from what I understand, it is not the problem that it is not translated, that it does not switch


...na so eine SCHei@@@%$^&% lol

Liath !!!!!!! Thanks so so much !! You are my HERO ! ahahah what a feeling !! made my day !!!

This was fixed officially in develop branch, but it is not yet part of main release.

fix is here:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/osclass/Osclass/4a4d05059f3bc6c531fe1b03c33dc41b52e08b28/oc-includes/osclass/model/Category.php

The sql query is much simpler (and faster) than teseo's fix, with one drawback: it does not fallback to english if translations are missing. Still, as that is not a "normal" situation anyway, faster version is better. It will probably be part of 3.8 release.

Hi dev101,

you know me, a true Osclass lover who keeps coming back
Anyway, the community is waiting for over a couple of years for this core functionality to be fixed so what do you mean by 'probably'?
Is there ANY reason not to fix this ASAP? I mean, imho this fix is worth an extra release similar to a security fix that is detected.

Many thanks to teseo I have a site that looks like it is top notch for over a year now and with this improved version of Liath there's no reason for further postponing this disruptive core issue, is there?. I don't understand why Osclass team didn't fix this earlier to be honest. Let's not talk about 'probably'.... let's just fix it once and for all because it is hurting Osclass popularity ie. hurting all theme and plugin creators as well as Osclass team.

Simply, because 3.8 will be a 'minor' release (not small bugfix release), and as it is already merged there, it is just a matter of time when it will be mainlined. Again, probably soon enough, but I do not know any dates. Best guess - when summer and holiday season pass.

Thanks dev101,

I'm truly glad it is finally coming and I think many others as well
With this fix I think there are not many *core* issues left with regard to a 100% functioning Osclass website Out of the Box which imo is really a good thing.

Eric
