Translating the Intro Text

Hi Milos,

Would you please advise how to translate this intro text for the Hot scroller module.

I have looked at the language files but cannot find any reference to the introtext. I am not sure how, or where to change the code.

Do I have to first change the code in the mod_hot_scroller.xml, mod_hot_scroller.php with a file key, then place this key in my en_GB.mod_hot_scroller.ini file? If so, your help with showing the exact code changes needed would be much appreciated.

I am using the Hot Destinations template with Falang running joomla 2.5 to translate the site www.raftingniseko.com into Japanese from English.

Thanks,
Kuniyo.

open modules\mod_hot_scroller\tmpl\mod_hot_scroller.php

replace this line:

$introText = $params->get('introText','News Highlights');

with:

$introText = JText::sprintf('INTRO_LABEL');

then in language ini files use this form:

INTRO_LABEL="your translation"

Thanks Milos,

I did what you recommended.

Although, when I select the Japanese language on the site www.raftingniseko.com the Hot Scroller text label, adjusted to show "Last Minute Offers" in the en-GB language file, shows up as unreadable characters.

I also added the ja-JP.mod_hot_scroller.ini filename call in the install.xml in the ja-JP folder language file, but this also didn't fix things.

Again, your help would be appreciated.

I also added the ja-JP.mod_hot_scroller.ini filename call in the install.xml in the ja-JP folder language file, but this also didn't fix things.

It should be templateDetail.xml not install.xml located in template folder.

But I think you have some encoding problem based on what you saw (unreadable chacarters), unfortenaly I don't have any experience with Japanese language, try to consult some domestic forum about joomla.
