How to translate NEW TOPIC Button?

Post by hypersaw »

Hi,
my phpbb runs on Lithuanian language pack. This pack is 2 yrs old, so I don't see New Topic button, Locked button on my language. How (where) can I translate it? Thanks.

The Lithuanian language pack downloaded from this site is for phpBB 3.0 and will not work with phpBB 3.1

the buttons are there in the language pack. either you did not apply the new pack to your style or there is some reason that those 3.0 buttons do not work with 3.1

In 3.0 the buttons were images, but now they are language strings.

Code: Select all

	'BUTTON_EDIT'			=> 'Edit',
	'BUTTON_FORUM_LOCKED'	=> 'Locked',
	'BUTTON_NEW_TOPIC'		=> 'New Topic',
	'BUTTON_PM'				=> 'PM',
	'BUTTON_PM_FORWARD'		=> 'Forward',
	'BUTTON_PM_NEW'			=> 'New PM',
	'BUTTON_PM_REPLY'		=> 'Send Reply',
	'BUTTON_PM_REPLY_ALL'	=> 'Reply All',
	'BUTTON_POST_REPLY'		=> 'Post Reply',
	'BUTTON_QUOTE'			=> 'Quote',
	'BUTTON_TOPIC_LOCKED'	=> 'Locked',

You don't need to be a programmer in order to translate :)

The easiest way to go about an update is to compare the English language files with a tool like WinMerge.

You can get the old phpBB version from:

https://download.phpbb.com/pub/release/3.0/3.0.12/

Hold off on the faq and bbcode for now - they change the structure for those, and there is a script somewhere to do automatic conversion - I don't remember where to find it though.

For testing, you could run a local webserver on your computer - the easiest way to do so is XAMPP.

You can't find what? The language strings are in your language's common.php.

Indeed.
As I said, they were images in 3.0, not language strings. You would need to add the proper language strings with the other existing strings in that language/lt/common.php
