[SOLUTION] Captions & descriptions in multiple languages was created by Alexxandar

Hi all!

I looked on the forum and all I could find is that its a planned feature, well since my client couldn't really wait on the next release :D here is a simple solution that really works great.

open sigpro.engine.php file(full path /plugins/content/jw_sigpro/sigpro.engine.php)
and just before "// Internal parameters" add this:

$langObj =& JFactory::getLanguage();
$lang = "_" . $langObj->getTag();

and then a little bit below, change this:

$captionFile = "labels.txt";

into this:

$captionFile = "labels{$lang}.txt";

Result is that for each language used, new file with captions is created but its called labels_en-GB.txt for english, labels_el-GR.txt for greek, labels_sr-RS.txt for serbian etc.

If you understand Joomlas framework and PHP you can even make this into a feature that can be enabled and disabled.

Enjoy! ;)
