Creating Translation Package for Joo!BB

Since Joomla 1.5 there is an easy way making translations for extensions. Here you can 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.

  1. Backend translation
  2. Frontend translation
  3. Individual frontend translation
    • Button Set translation
    • Smiley Set translation
    • Template translation

1. Backend translation

  • Create a folder structure as following: /administrator/language/en-GB/
  • Copy the original en-GB.com_joobb.ini file to this folder. You will find this file in the installer package in folder /com_joobb/languages/admin/
  • Edit the file and translate all strings into the desired language

2. Frontend translation

3. Individual frontend translation
