Custom Translate Function - what does it do and how to set it
October 01, 2010, 07:20:07 am
 In Administer CiviCRM  » Global Settings - Settings - Localization - Language and Currency

there is a setting -

Custom Translate Function     

Function name to use for translation inplace of the default CiviCRM translate function.

When you enter something you get the error message:

Please define the custom translation function first.

what does it do and how to set it?

I can't find any documentation for this. Does it relate to the CMS language switch?

Is this a mystery function that nobody knows about? Any response would be apprecaited.

It is difficult enough for me as I would have no idea :-) Did you search the wiki for it?

I also saw that post but it referes to Drupal integration and frankly it didn't make a lot of sense to me. ???

the word replacement feature in 3.2 basically makes the custom_ts function mostly redundant.

this function if defined is called instead of the CiviCRM ts function. There is an example in civitest.module.sample (called custom_ts)
