Geeklog Forums

Hi,

Gooday! Need some advice. Has anyone successfully created a bilingual or multilingual site (only one database) where we can switch between languages for both the Block labels and Plugin labels (like menu plugin).

The language files took care of standard geeklog labels but I've been struggling with trying to find out how I can make my site bilingual (using UTF8) with the block and plugin labels.

I notice there are a few geeklog experts who have doen bilingual sites in Eng/Jap & Eng/Chinese.

Any suggestions/advice is greatly appreciated.

Which plugins are you referring to. The problem generally is that the "name" used for the menuitem has been hardcoded in the plugin function as upposed to using a variable.

Example the forum function which is used to display the header menu item.

Earlier versions were like:


Now using a LANGUAGE File defined variable.


Note: I've removed some code to simplify the examples.

Thanks,

I was refering to
1) the menu plugin 1.61 that I installed and the menu labels that I created from the menu editor
2) the block titles that I create from the block editors for block that didn't come pre-packaged with GL install pack

Pardon me if I'm missing something here I should know.

Those block titles are stored in the database, so they can't really change when you switch languages.
