CiviContribute is not translate

[jlebeau]

hello there,

I have a little issue with a fresh install of CiviCRM on Drupal 6. I activate the french translation, CiviCRM seems to be translate, but many string are not translated in CiviContribute. I look on your translation serveur and the *po file, and the string are there.

Commons String as "Frist Name", "Last Name",  "Name and Address" are not translated for example.
my example can be see there : http://www.vakanala.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=1

Is there some thing to activate the translation in CiviContribute, or is it a bug?

Hey,

These fields come from CiviCRM profile, the one provided with fresh installation. You need to go to civicrm/admin/uf/group&reset=1, choose the profile that you're using and translate (Name and Address most probably) and translate field labels manually to French.

BTW - it would be great if you could describe CiviCRM use for your organisation on CiviCRM Showcase forum board. :-)

Thx,
m

Hi Michal, thank you for your help!

for the moment, our website will be only in french, but when we will enable other language, is this will be a issue for the internationalization, as the field are manually set?


As CiviCRM is a very usefull tools for us, we will be please to announce our use when the site will be finish.

thanks again!

Jérôme

Jérôme,

Great to hear about your will to tell others about your use. :-)

If you decide to use CiviCRM in two languages in the same time, you will have to enable Multiple Languages Support (on civicrm/admin/setting/localization&reset=1) - it will allow you to store profile field names in multiple languages and display them based on language preferences. However, at this stage this is still an experimental functionality, so I would recommend approaching it when actual need emerges on your side. We will definitely welcome some testing and feedback on this feature.

Thx,
