Hi,
i have multilanguage site,in german and english.
I would like to make a blog using K2.

Im testing it at the moment but I cant manage to set it for two diferent laguages.

Can You please help?

Do you have different content for each language or the same translated with Joomfish, for example?

Same content for each language but its not auto translated.

Im not using Joomfish, Im using built in Joomla language plug-in and I made pages for both languages separately.

I will be doing same with blog,I will create blog post in english and translate it my self to german for german blog.

So you actually write one item and assign it to English and then create another item and assign it to German.
In the menu you can select the Language for each menu item which would appear in the frontend depending on the language selection.

Yes thats right.

Sorry,are you still talking about Joomla or You are now talking about K2 item?

Becouse I created K2 categorie and item, and selected german language. (image1 and image2)





And I created Joomla menu item,for menu item type I selected K2 categories and selected german language.(image3)



When I open that page in front end text is still in english (image4)

I see that the German content is published in the correct category, German Blog.
Assuming that the item I see is indeed the correct one and the K2 elements are the ones that do not change I have to ask: Have you installed the K2 translation pack for German?

Now I did and everything is in german,except facebook like button.
Is that normal?

Even if you browse English pages you get german language on K2 elements?

Sorry if I confused You.
I mean everything is ok.
German pages are in german and english pages are in english.
Im asking about facebook like button on german page ,it writes "like" in english.
Is that normal?

The default code for the like button is English.

There is a way you could change that depending on the language but it would require some modification to the item.php file in your override (templates/yourTemplate/html/com_k2/default/item.php).

Locate the facebook button and make an if statement to check the language. If it is English, leave the default else replace in the script block the '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js'; with '//connect.facebook.net/de_DE/all.js';

Thank You.

Just to check , if I change item.php as You told me then facebook "like" button will be in german on german pages and in english language on english pages.
Is that correct?

Don't forget to make an if statement and check the language.
Try this:

$lang = JFactory::getLanguage();
$locale = $lang->getTag();

if ($locale=='de-DE'):
include the facebook button with the change I suggested for the script block;
else :
leave the default facebook button code.
endif;

Hi,

I am also trying to get this to work!

The Twitter button changes automatically into other languages but I cannot get the facebook text to change.

I must be putting in the the code wrong :blush:

Any help appreciated!

WOOHOOO!

Finally got it to work. Thank you Yiota for pointing me in the right direction.

I hope this helps someone else.

NOTE: This is for a 4 language site with spanish being the default language and catalan, english and french as the other languages so you will have to alter language codes and remove the blocks that you don't want. the default language is in the last block after the <?php else: ?>

First I added

$lang = JFactory::getLanguage();
$locale = $lang->getTag();

Right under
defined('_JEXEC') or die;

near the top of item.php

Then find the code between

<div id="fb-root"></div>
and
<div class="fb-like" data-send="false" data-width="200" data-show-faces="true"></div>

at around line 320 and replace the code with this



<?php if ($locale=='es-ES'): ?>
<script>
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/es_ES/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ($locale=='ca-ES'): ?>
<script>
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/ca_ES/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ($locale=='fr-FR'): ?>
<script>
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/fr_FR/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>

<?php else: ?>
<script>
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
<?php endif; ?>


I don't know if this is the correct way to do it but it works!

I tried the same thing but it doesnt work.

Can You please paste Your item.php code here,just code between <!-- Facebook Button --> and <!-- Google +1 Button -->

It would help me a lot.

This is where I inserted

$lang = JFactory::getLanguage();
$locale = $lang->getTag();

Just as You did

Mybe You can see here what I did wrong

Looks ok,
Are you sure you have added the languages in the content section of the language manager?

The $locale of any language is not with an underscore put with a dash. What I mean is that instead of $locale=='de_DE' you should have $locale=='de-DE'.

Hi,
Can be this done also for google+ button?
