Khoa Duong Topic Author Offline Fresh Boarder Posts: 5 Thank you received: 0	When I display the module mod_comments on the front end page, it says (name of the person) said. How can I change the word said to f.ex. Norwegian language. Regards Khoa Duong Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

another discussion about the module here: compojoom.com/forum/topic?id=9412&p=9647#p9647

The module also uses joomla 1.5 language model. The default language file is placed in languages/your-language/your-langauge.mod_comments.ini - translate the strings in the english file and put it in the right folder and everything will be fine.

P.S. Don't forget to share your language file with us

Sorry, didn't read this correctly, where you just used "Norwegian" as an example, and not as a "want". Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

Khoa Duong Topic Author Offline Fresh Boarder Posts: 5 Thank you received: 0	I made a file called nb-NO.mod_comments.ini and put it in language/nb-NO. Then I translated SAID = said into Norwegian. It worked perfect. But how I can translate 2 days ago in the front end to Norwegian? Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Nils Ally Offline Gold Boarder Posts: 299 Thank you received: 33	If your site is using the Norwegian language setup, or JoomFish, it should work automatically. I can't get that to work on my site at all... Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

ah, we developers are some times lazy bastards.
To translate those string you will have the following changes.
Go to components/com_comment/joscomment/utils.php and find those lines:

if ((int)$years) {
				$formatDate = sprintf('%d year' . ((int)$years == 1 ? '' : 's'). ' ago', $years);
			} elseif ((int)$months) {
				$formatDate = sprintf('%d month' . ((int)$months == 1 ? '' : 's'). ' ago', $months);
			} elseif ((int)$days) {
				$formatDate = sprintf('%d day' . ((int)$days == 1 ? '' : 's'). ' ago', $days);
			} elseif ((int)$hours) {
				$formatDate = sprintf('%d hour' . ((int)$hours == 1 ? '' : 's'). ' ago', $hours);
			} elseif ((int)$minutes) {
				$formatDate = sprintf('%d minute' . ((int)$minutes == 1 ? '' : 's'). ' ago', $minutes);
			} elseif ((int)$seconds) {
				$formatDate = sprintf('%d second' . ((int)$seconds == 1 ? '' : 's'). ' ago', $seconds);
			} else {
				$formatDate = sprintf('%d second' . ((int)$seconds == 1 ? '' : 's'). ' ago', $seconds);
			}

around line 600
and change them to this:

			if ((int)$years) {
				$formatDate = JText::sprintf('%d YEAR' . ((int)$years == 1 ? '' : 'S'). ' AGO', $years);
			} elseif ((int)$months) {
				$formatDate = JText::sprintf('%d MONTH' . ((int)$months == 1 ? '' : 'S'). ' AGO', $months);
			} elseif ((int)$days) {
				$formatDate = JText::sprintf('%d DAY' . ((int)$days == 1 ? '' : 'S'). ' AGO', $days);
			} elseif ((int)$hours) {
				$formatDate = JText::sprintf('%d HOUR' . ((int)$hours == 1 ? '' : 'S'). ' AGO', $hours);
			} elseif ((int)$minutes) {
				$formatDate = JText::sprintf('%d MINUTE' . ((int)$minutes == 1 ? '' : 'S'). ' AGO', $minutes);
			} elseif ((int)$seconds) {
				$formatDate = JText::sprintf('%d SECOND' . ((int)$seconds == 1 ? '' : 'S'). ' AGO', $seconds);
			} else {
				$formatDate = JText::sprintf('%d SECOND' . ((int)$seconds == 1 ? '' : 'S'). ' AGO', $seconds);
			}

After this open your language file
your language.com_comment.ini and add translation for this:

%D YEAR AGO = %d year ago
%D YEARS AGO = %d years ago
%D MONTH AGO = %d month ago
%D MONTHS AGO = %d months ago
%D WEEK AGO = %d week ago
%D WEEKS AGO = %d weeks ago
%D DAY AGO = %d day ago
%D DAYS AGO = %d days ago
%D HOUR AGO = %d hour ago
%D HOURS AGO = %d hours ago
%D SECOND AGO = %d second ago
%D SECONDS AGO = %d seconds ago
