Localisation/language of CiviCRM menu items

[impacttech]

Hi,

I've just installed CiviCRM 3.0

I would like to be able to localise all of the menu options that CiviCRM produces, such as
CiviCRM Home etc

Where are the language files located to do this please?

Thanks

…and once you do read that link, check out our translations server and look for the civicrm-menu.po files.

You can either upload them to the translation server (and we’ll handle the compiling to the MO file upon a subsequent CiviCRM release) or you can try doing it yourself.

If you have gettext, you need to get all the PO files for your language, then run

Code: [Select]

msgcat -o civicrm.po *.po
msgfmt -o civicrm.mo civicrm.po

and then put the resulting MO file in civicrm/l10n/xx_YY (where xx_YY is your chosen language).
