How to translate NEW TOPIC Button?

[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

its working great. only problems are with buttons

[Lumpy Burgertushie]

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',

Would you be interested in helping to upgrade the language pack?

Excellent

[hypersaw]

But I'am not a programmer or similar. I'am a user which makes difference with Trial and Error method though....

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.

I can't find them.... HELP

[Brf]

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

There was no such code. But when I added translated code phpbb crashed (blank screen)...So I removed this code.

[Brf]

There was no such code.

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
