Create new language files

Do you want to contribute and add your own language files to B3? Perfect!

Here are the English files that are relevant:

• /usr/share/album/i18n/en/messages.js
  
• /usr/share/album/i18n/en/messages.php
  
• /usr/share/web-admin/admin/views/default/i18n/en/bubba_lang.php
  
• /usr/share/web-admin/admin/views/default/i18n/en/help_lang.php
  
• /usr/share/web-admin/admin/views/default/i18n/en/messages.js
  

If you for example wish to create a Danish version of the B3 user interface, do like this:

1. Create a new folder called dk under /usr/share/album/i18n/

2. Create a new folder called dk under /usr/share/web-admin/admin/views/default/i18n/

3. Copy all the files from respectively catalog to the newly created folders (/usr/share/album/i18n/en/* to /usr/share/album/i18n/dk/ and /usr/share/web-admin/admin/views/default/i18n/en/* to /usr/share/web-admin/admin/views/default/i18n/dk/)

4. Edit the file /usr/share/web-admin/admin/views/default/i18n/dk/description.ini:

short_name="dk"
long_name="Danish"
status='user'

5. Now translate the content in the five files listed above, in its new location /dk.

6. Change the 'System language' to dk and verify the result in B3s user interface while editing.

When you are satisfied with the result we would be very happy if you would share it with us. Please start a thread in our forum in the category Development. Name the thread "Language files - Danish" for example. Zip the files and attach it in the thread. We will add the language files so that all users can take advantage of the translations after a software update via the user interface.
