Administrator Language Files

From here on out the word language will refer to the name of the language you will be using. This will most likely correspond to the name used by the Joomla! frontend language pack. All of the language files should be created before you install this although it is possible to put the language files in piecemeal as you go along. However the real purpose of this is to create an install package in your language for you to distribute. It might help to distribute it with all the English language files also, this is because if the system cannot find the specific language file for your language it will default to English, if the English file is not available, you might receive lots of errors. In all cases, the existing English language files MUST be used as the templates for your language files. The easiest way is to copy and paste each English language file and rename it appropriately.

Renaming rules:

Language Files: admin.english.php » admin.language.php

XML Parameter Files: mod_components.english.xml » mod_components.language.xml

Module Language Files: mod_components.english.php » mod_components.language.php

Image Files: mosimage.english.gif » mosimage.language.gif

Folders: english » language

At this point you may want to check the Joomla! website for the frontend language pack for your specific language. If it doesn't exist, you will have to create three files for this. They are:

• .\language\language.xml
• .\language\language.php
• .\language\language.ignore.php

These files contain the variables for "frontend" usage of Joomla! Also we use some of these variables in the backend. These three files MUST be in place for the language switching functionality to work properly.

The following is a list of all the PHP language and XML files you will need to create. Remember language refers to the name of the language you are using.
