Traslating Cpanel..

Make a language file of some sort. I'm currently developing a new skin for my customers with language support. So far I've got English, Gaelic and Dutch, but I've got someone working on German and French. The way I'm making it is in a language file, e.g

//english.lang file
$var1 = "hello";
$var2 = "A big fat dog";

//french.lang file
$var1 = "Bonjour";
$var2 = "Un grand gros chien"

if [language = french] then [include french.lang]
else [include english.lang]

In your cpanel skin, you would just put in the variables instead of text.

for example if you wanted to say hello in whatever language the user has selected, u would do something like...

echo $var1;

If this seems like too much hard work then I think there is allready a skin with language support. I think its called RVskin.

 

You may use the <cpanel printlang="key"> tags - the keys and the corresponding messages are stored in the different language files in /usr/local/cpanel/lang/ or /path/to/theme/lang/

 

Hi !

Would you be willing to share your DUTCH language file with me? I can offer (in case you don't have any of these yet): Spanish, French, German, Catalan, Turkish, Romanian. I can be contacted at support@server-1.com

If anyone is interested I can translate to portuguese a skin...

Just want for return the skin!

 

There are several skin makers out there with multiple translations already. You can check out www.cpanelthemes.com and Xcontroller is in 5 different languages I believe.
