ispconfig Translation HowTo

Hi all ..

I translated ispconfig to czech language .. and here is small guide how you can translate ispconfig to your language too .. sorry for my english ..

I hope it somebody helps ..

I wanted use utf-8 but it was not work properly .. so I used my national charset encoding .. I translated to czech language so I used cz as my lang and iso-8859-2 charset encoding.

1. copy english language files

you can use this to locate .lng and .hlp english files:

Code:

locate en.lng

if you want translate help files too ..

Code:

locate *.hlp |grep en

You can copy /root/ispconfig/isp/standard_index.html_en too if you want have localize standard index

copy these files to new one .. in my case I copied its to cz.lng, cz*.hlp and standard_index.html_cz

2. change setting in config.inc.php
edit /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php from

Code:

$go_info[“server”][“lang”] = “en”; $go_info[“theme”][“charset”] = “iso-8859-1”;

to your language setting .. in my case to

Code:

$go_info[“server”][“lang”] = “cz”; $go_info[“theme”][“charset”] = “iso-8859-2”;

3. first testing if everything is ok ..
reload your ispconfig .. if you don’t see any changes all is ok

4. Now translate text in new created files to your language ..
remember that you have to use right charset encoding .. same as you will use on ispconfig pages. It will be a lot of work .. you will translate a lot of sentenses more than once .. so be patient .. sometimes check your work by reloading ispconfig .. it should be partialy translated ..

Done? Now you have to change charset encoding in some files.

5. changing and adding meta tags

For properly working encoding you have to change or insert meta tags to some files .. here is list of its ..

change from

Code:

to (change to your needs)

Code:

or simply insert new line with (change to your needs)

Code:

in

/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/index.html (you can change title to your needs too ..)

menu files (put meta tag after tag):
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/admin/inhalt_tree.php
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/help/inhalt_tree.php
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/isp_dns/inhalt_tree.php
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/isp_fakt/inhalt_tree.php
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/isp_file/inhalt_tree.php
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/isp_kunde/inhalt_tree.php
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/isp_manager/inhalt_tree.php
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/multidoc/inhalt_tree.php
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/tools/inhalt_tree.php

“loading folders” files (put meta tag after tag):
– in these files change english text to your language too if you don’t like “loading folders”

/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/admin/vorladen.php
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/help/vorladen.php
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/isp_dns/vorladen.php
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/isp_fakt/vorladen.php
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/isp_file/vorladen.php
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/isp_kunde/vorladen.php
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/isp_manager/vorladen.php
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/multidoc/vorladen.php
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/tools/options/vorladen.php
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/tools/vorladen.php

6. Translating of error pages

Go to /root/ispconfig/isp/ and copy error_en to error_XX (in my case error_cz) and edit *.html files in created directory.

And it is all .. that was quite easy .. wasn’t that?

Little suggestion for Falco and Till .. if it is possible it would be nice to have meta tags in files listed here with charset encoding variable from config.inc.php file .. translation will be more easy ..
