Joomla - Joomfish component and CivicRM multilanguage
August 05, 2010, 09:27:14 am
I am setting a bilingual site using Joomla, Joomfish and CivicRM. See left for versions. I am a coding noob.

The Joomfish language switcher uses &lang=fr while CivicRM uses &lcMessages=fr_FR to switch languages. How can I make both work together so that when the user switches languages using the Joomfish language switcher the CivicRm donation form also changes language?

I have set up CivicRm to change language with the CMS but I guess it's not working.

Can you take a look at CRM_Utils_System_Joomla::getUFLocale() and CRM_Utils_System_Drupal::getUFLocale() and see whether you can hack something like the latter into the former?

(It’s interesting that Joom!Fish would implement locales differently than Joomla!, but eventually we’ll need to support both anyway.)

I have Joomla set up with en_gb and FR_fr (FR_ca not available in Joomla) and CivicRm is set up as en_US (not given choice in CivicRM) and fr_ca, could that be the reason why the language switcher does not work? It's still en and fr though.

Otherwise

Where would I find this and how do I fix it? Remember I'm a noob. ;D

Do you mean you don’t have other language choices in the admin screen? If so, you need to download the civicrm-…-l10n.tar.gz file and unzip it to your main CiviCRM directory.

No I'm further down the line than that.

I have used Joomla + Joomfish + CivicRM set up as a bilingual English - French site

I have select the setting for CivicRM to reflect the language of the CMS in this case Joomla

The Joomfish language switcher uses &lang=fr while CivicRM uses &lcMessages=fr_FR to switch languages. How can I make both work together so that when the user switches languages using the Joomfish language switcher the CivicRm content for exampla a donation form also changes language?

Ok, so basically what you need is a way to convert Joom!Fish’s xx language codes to CiviCRM’s xx_YY language codes (based on the lang variable passed from Joom!Fish).

As we needed to do the same for Drupal (but not Joomla!), the relevant code seems to be in the CRM_Utils_System_Drupal::getUFLocale() method (in the CRM/Utils/System/Drupal.php file) – what I was trying to say was that maybe this code can be copied (and modified appropriately) to CRM_Utils_System_Joomla::getUFLocale() (in the CRM/Utils/System/Joomla.php file).

If you’re not a PHP coder, you can either hire someone to do this or file an issue and we’ll handle this as soon as our resources allow.

Thanks for your help.

I think this is a major issue. CivicRm is set up to mirror the language of the CMS but not the change languages correctly when a CMS is set up in multiple languages for a bilingual/multilingual site.

if you do think this is a major issue and/or important to your org, please look at the code and submit a patch. If not a developer, consider hiring someone from http://civicrm.org/professional/

Which code should I be looking at CivicRm or Joomfish? Which files?
