Translations

If you are looking to translate your element labels, form intros etc see https://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?wiki/multilingual-forms/.

Below you can find information about how to manually add translations for Fabrik language strings.
If you want to use custom language strings use Joomla's language override feature.

Location​

Fabrik language files are located in

• administrator\components\com_fabrik\language\xx-XX
  • xx-XX.com_fabrik.ini
  • xx-XX.com_fabrik.menu.ini
  • xx-XX.com_fabrik.sys.ini
• components\com_fabrik\language\xx-XX
  • xx-XX.com_fabrik.ini
• plugins\fabrik_aaa\pluginname\language\xx-XX
  • xx-XX.plg_fabrik_aaa_pluginname.ini
  • xx-XX.plg_fabrik_aaa_pluginname.sys.ini

How to create language files​

All language files need to be saved as UTF-8, no BOM.

Every language file must be created in 'parallel' to the location of the English one so, for example, the translation of:
must be in the location:
where xx-XX is your language code (e.g. de-DE = German, fr-FR = French, el-GR = Greek).

So for each 'language' folder:

• copy the folder "en-GB" to "xx-XX"
• in the folder xx-XX rename all files en-GB to xx-XX...
• start translating

It is not necessary to translate all language files at once. The most important one for frontend users is :
components\com_fabrik\language\xx-XX\xx-XX.com_fabrik.ini

At the moment these languages are (partly) supported:

Publishing​

Last but not least, please send you translation to the fabrik team. Best is to submit a PR to Github.
