CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hello,

I just want to make sure I didn't make it wrong. I've downloaded and installed CiviCRM as a plugin to WordPress.
I've followed the instructions to make it multilang by downloading the l10n package and uncompressing it to the right place.
Then, from Admin > Localization I've added some languages.

Now, the question: the newly created db fields called title_xx_XX,  description_xx_XX or  label_xx_XX, should be populated with the correct "example data" translations? In my case, all the fields added for the new languages --apparently-- were just copied from the english already existing fields, is this the right behavior?

If this is the case, that would mean the civicrm_localized.sql files are just used in the installation process. Then the fastest way to get those translations into place would be to update the language.sql file to UPDATE (instead of INSERT) on the right tables, correct?

Thank you very much for your attention and your huge effort.

Hi,

Thanks for your  answer. I made a modified version of the addLocale function to reuse the translated sql files.
This modification is done in CRM/Core/I18n/Schema.php; I'd like to share it here, but the forum software is saying somthing stupid like "Sorry, you are not allowed to post external links."  (Someone should take a look to the rule that is triggering that message )

Those sql files are taking too much space. Wouldn't be it better to just have the translatable strings in separate files and generate the sql files on the fly?

Br,
