Multilanguage captions Hack was created by gtherm

Warning this is experimental as I'm absolutly not a coder, so use it with caution and don't expect from me any kind of support.

To display multi-language captions do this :

-Open plugin_jw_sigpro.php, backup it up.
-Locate //read labels.txt
-Replace

        if (file_exists($mosConfig_absolute_path.$rootfolder.$_images_dir_."/labels.txt") && is_readable ($mosConfig_absolute_path.$rootfolder.$_images_dir_."/labels.txt")) {        
          
          $file_handle = fopen($mosConfig_absolute_path.$rootfolder.$_images_dir_."/labels.txt", "r");

With :

        if (file_exists($mosConfig_absolute_path.$rootfolder.$_images_dir_."/".strtolower($mosConfig_lang)."_labels.txt") && is_readable ($mosConfig_absolute_path.$rootfolder.$_images_dir_."/".strtolower($mosConfig_lang)."_labels.txt")) {        
          
          $file_handle = fopen($mosConfig_absolute_path.$rootfolder.$_images_dir_."/".strtolower($mosConfig_lang)."_labels.txt", "r");

-Create labels textfiles named yourlanguage_labels.txt
ie: french_labels.txt, russian_labels.txt, chinese_labels.txt etc ...
-Put your captions as usual in the text files

To get this hack work in J! 1.5 also do this:

insert the following lines in the onPrepareContent-function (in the same file):

$params   = JComponentHelper::getParams('com_languages');
$frontend_lang = $params->get('site', 'en-GB');
$language = JLanguage::getInstance($frontend_lang);
$mosConfig_lang = $language->getBackwardLang();

works good for me so far.

regards

the posted code-lines from me aren't work with JoomFish (in Joomla! 1.5.x only).
so there's the hack to get this work. Just this line instead the lines posted from me:

$mosConfig_lang = $mainframe->getCfg('language');

this will produce "language-codes" like de-DE (for german), en-GB (for english), etc.
consider this when naming the lable textfiles.

e.g. name the textfile like this: en-gb_labels.txt when using the strtolower()-function as posted by gtherm.

Hi, gtherm and Raven_3_,

Thanks for yours topic.

Working perfect, but, in the end of the text it appears a slash "\" and in last image appears a "}".

Can i fix this?

Yhanks!

Hi All,

RESOLVED! :)

Whem you create the TEXT file, save only .TXT.

My error was saved in .RTF Format and them .TXT format because this file creat some meta tags.

Thanks!
