Translating concrete5

Permalink
Hi all!

Wanted to first say hello all. I am helping with translating concrete5 into Finnish.

I would like to also ask a few questions about the translation:

1. I have made some changes to the .po file and saved both .po and .mo files. Now when I update the files on my server, some of the strings remain unchanged. Is there some way to refresh the translation from the files? I have tried to clear my browsers cache and also the cache of c5.

I have two concrete5 installs with the same language files and the other is showing the correct strings.

2. Is there some way to edit the date format to dd/mm/yyyy? I think this has been asked before in the forum but I was wondering if there is a change in the latest 5.4.2 version.

3. If I find strings which are not yet translated in c5, where can I report these?

Hello,

Glad to see some other Finns using Concrete5 :)

If you are using Apache server, you have to restart it to refresh the .po cache. This is quite annoying "feature" in Apache and as far as I know, at the moment there is no other method to clear the cache than a restart.

To set custom date formats, you can define the following in config/site.php

if (!defined('DATE_APP_GENERIC_MDYT_FULL')) {
    define('DATE_APP_GENERIC_MDYT_FULL', 'j. F\t\a, Y \k\l\o G:i');
}
if (!defined('DATE_APP_GENERIC_MDYT')) {
    define('DATE_APP_GENERIC_MDYT', 'j.n.Y \k\l\o G:i');
}
if (!defined('DATE_APP_GENERIC_MDY_FULL')) {
    define('DATE_APP_GENERIC_MDY_FULL', 'j. F\t\a, Y');
}
if (!defined('DATE_APP_GENERIC_TS')) {
    define('DATE_APP_GENERIC_TS', 'G:i:s');
}
if (!defined('DATE_APP_GENERIC_T')) {
    define('DATE_APP_GENERIC_T', 'G:i');
}

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the settings.

The problem I am facing is that the original Finnish translation I downloaded from c5 contained strings already translated but in Spanish!

Now when I have updated the strings, the language is still Spanish.

Don't know if my host can restart the Apache, but I will have to check that.

A bit of problem...

Ok, I got the server restarted by my host.

I am still wondering why some strings remain unchanged.

For example I modified the translation for Composer in 5.4.2 but the old translation is still used in my installation although the server was restarted.

EDIT:
I actually found this from php.net
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gettext.php#59589...

Not sure if this could be used in c5.
