Translations don't work
« on: September 21, 2012, 12:44:31 pm »

Hy everyone,

I have installed the latest version of jDiction (0.7.9.3) on my Joomla (2.5.7), that is all components (com_jdiction,  file_jddbproxy, lib_jdiction, mod_jdlanguage, plg_finder_jdcontent, plg_jdiction) from the package, and configured them as well. Installed languages for frontend are English (en-GB) and Serbian Latin (sr-YU). But it doesn't seem to work.

When I change the language in frontend my traslations don't change menus, titles of modules, translation of pages etc.
But it does change language of system messages like authors name, dates of modifying etc.

I have tryed everything I can remember of. The only way to make it work is to create double categories, double menus, double pages, double banners for each language separately. When I go to insert translation, in the article for instance, I have only one tab (Serbian), although the article has already been made for the Serbian language. I can't insert the translation for English language.

Translations simply don't work.

Please help with your suggestions if you have any experiences in the field.

Thank you,
Djole

I found the problem, if your frontend language is not the same as the backend language it could cause a problem, because you used Serbian as your default language and translated it to english. But the flag for jdiction is for Serbian translation, thats a wrong behavior of jdiction but could be solved if you use Serbian language as default language in backend.

hi, i have averything working, pluging, driver, translations for simply displayed articles work fine but for modules which are based on content like FreeSlider SP1 or common list with Articles in Category don't display translated articles (only translated module title is showing)

is there any solution for this?
i heave tested few translation management components before, and this one is really user friendly, but i need it to work for every module

Modules should be copied and filtered by language parameter.

If the modules displays standard articles this should work without any modification, I don't know FreeSlider SP1

well i guess i've tried everything: (testing standard list in category, not FreeSlider SP1)
1. translate modul - only title shows up in secound language
2. make a copy of oryginal module and set apropriate language in both modules - only title shows up in secound language
3. same like 2. but left oryginal with All languages selected - only title shows up in secound language (with additional module in secound language)

...using joomla 2.5.8 and jdiction 0.8

now i'm working on localhost, and there's only two days for me to finish this site... then I will try to improve my work, but now:
i've noticed that if i clar all translated field (doesn't matter if it's module or article) on list there's still green bubble... and tere's another problem: before i use "tranlate" for aricle it shows up on front-end  (secound language is switched on) in module, in oryginal language... but after using "translate" it's only translated title of this module left

my question for now is: how can i erase translations? or which sql tables should i clear?

Clearing all fields in the translation changed nothing on the state the the article is translated, it only takes the orignal language.

You could delete all translations using sql, "TRUNCATE #__jd_store;"

Are you sure that you configured the language correctly?

IMPORTANT: The Language Tag must match the installed language package, so if you install the jgerman translation you have to use "de-DE" as translation Tag and not "de-AT" or "de-CH".
