====== Creating Translation Package for Joo!BB ======

Since Joomla 1.5 there is an easy way making translations for extensions. Here you can [[http://www.joobb.org/downloads/joobb_language.zip|download]] a Sample Translation Package.

**NOTE:**
This Package is a sample! Please always use the language files of the latest version of Joo!BB. Please also use the country code of the language you want to translate instead of **en-GB**! For example **de-DE** when you are making a translation into German. You need to save all translation files as UTF-8.

There are several language files have to be translated. Easy to handle is the backend translation. The frontend translation is a little bit complex because of more flexibility of Joo!BB.
