override translations for Login Box

S0l · Post by **S0l** » 02 Feb 2021, 15:02

Hello,
we have our default (= es) Login box show up like this:
Login
Username [...........]
Password [...........][
[Login]

but we want to adapt to our "default" language, which is "es" so it looks like

Iniciar Sesión
Usuario [...........]
Contraseña [...........][
[Login]

we tried to override with e.g.

Code: Select all

plugin.tx_felogin_pi1._LOCAL_LANG.default {
    username =Usuario
    password = Contraseña
}

but this does not work.

We have successfully adapted some of the necessary- texts regarding the LOGIN process/account page have su been changed in our es_CL.po file residing under

typo3conf/ext/aimeos/Resources/Private/Extensions/ai-client-html/client/i18n

but things like the "Forgot Password" Page and Emails sent to the customer still appear only in English or in a mixture of English and Spanish ( Confirmation Page of Lost Password Sent Email). Those msgids dont show up in the core-client.pot nor core-client-code.pot files...

Is there a way to override those default (en) texts so it appears in Spanish uniformly?

Do you have any ideas?

The login is provided by another TYPO3 plugin (not by Aimeos) so you have to look whre you have to add the translations there (typically in a locallang.xml file).

Yes, thank you, this was the right idea. There where no language translation files for my language (es) for the felogin, so I copied existing German files over to a newly made Spanish directory branch:

Code: Select all

 cp ./typo3conf/l10n/de/felogin/Resources/Private/Language/de.locallang.xlf typo3conf/l10n/es/felogin/Resources/Private/Language/es.locallang.xlf
 
 cp ./typo3conf/l10n/de/felogin/Resources/Private/Language/de.Database.xlf typo3conf/l10n/es/felogin/Resources/Private/Language/es.Database.xlf

Just needed to change the German texts to Spanish texts, using the English source strings as a base. It is surely not the best way of doing it, but it works for now...
