Localization for Custom Data in Civicrm 4.2
May 28, 2013, 04:52:54 pm
Hi everybody!

I am developing CiviCRM 4.2 with Drupal CMS in default English. But my client wants to localize to German.
I seccessfully localized Drupal and Standard CiviCRM using .po files, which i put in the folder I10n/de_DE in CiviCRM module. i set Germen as default language and most standard expressions get translated.
But now, i dont know how to translate Custom Data (Custom fields) or contact subtypes (Customer -> Kundin). Which steps should i follow?
I deally I want to translate all Custom things in custom.po. Is it possible?

Do you mean names of custom data field? If yes than you will have create / enter the custom data fields in German, you can't translate values that are stored in db

Any that which is stored in db, should be entered in localized language.

Thank you so much, Kurund.
I joined the translation team.
but i read documentation on http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC42/CiviCRM+Localisation, i see that if i want to use new .po files, i need to compile the PO files into one MO file (civicrm.mo). I used some tools for Windows as Poedit, GetText to compile but wasn't successful.
So do you have any solution to compile .po files into one .mo file for Windows?

Every week (I think it's on Wednesday), the .mo files are compiled by a CiviCRM server, and published on github. You can find it here for German:
https://github.com/civicrm/l10n/raw/master/po/de/civicrm.mo

You can also see recent changes to the translation files from here:
https://github.com/civicrm/l10n/tree/master/po/de (click on the "latest commit" link in the upper-right side of the file listing)

You can use this localization platform to translate your strings to German https://poeditor.com. It's simple to translate using it and its translation memory. Crowd translations work really effectively also.
