Amount translation

[theant]

Hi
is it possible to translate the "amount" word without to hack the files?
Best regards

Yes, you can edit the translation file. It's in the "lang" folder. Pick the one that has the same locale as your Joomla install.

Best regards

Thanks a lot. It is correct (the Italian one) but it display "Amount" instead of "Importo":

Module "Un contributo per la rivista" on the right

Humm.... very strange!


I'll attach an updated version of the file, try unzipping it and copying this file in your /languages/it-IT/ folder and overwrite the existing file.
Maybe a folder premission issue?

Permissions are ok and it show Amount again

[fabrizio]

What is your Joomla language (frontend)? You can check it out by bgoing to Extensions -> Language Administration. It's the one with the "star".


EDIT: Just noticed that almost all strings are italian... Can you confirm the it-IT.mod_simplepaypal.ini file is in languages/it-IT? Never had issues with the translation, and on my site it works fine (see here for example, this is a live site: http://www.gal.ch/index.php?option=com_ ... &Itemid=34)

It's italian and all the language items are correctly translated. The file is into Italian directory and it has 644 permission.
It is very weird.

[fabrizio]

Very weird indeed. Without having access to the site it will be very difficult for me to debug.
I assume you have already tried to reinstall the software. I'll attach a current ZIP file to this post, you can try with this one. Please notice that in Joomla!, uninstalling a module deletes all data associated to it.

Another option is to manually edit the /modules/mod_simplepaypal/tmpl/default.php file and on line 44 change

Code: Select all

$amountLine .= JText::_('Amount').':&nbsp;<input type="text" name="amount" size="4" maxlength="10" value="'.$params->get('amount').'" style="text-align:right;" />'."\n"; 

to

Code: Select all

$amountLine .= JText::_('Importo').':&nbsp;<input type="text" name="amount" size="4" maxlength="10" value="'.$params->get('amount').'" style="text-align:right;" />'."\n"; 

I'd use this as a last resort, if all else fails, it is neither elegant nor the correct way to proceed, but it surely will translate "Amount"...

Ok, I did it manually.
Thanks a lot

[fabrizio]
