Language Files

Language files are used for static/custom translations. Depending on the request and response localization the correct language files are loaded and used for the translations invoked by getHtml() in the views.

Naming

The naming convention of the files is language.lang.php e.g. en.lang.php. In some cases it may be necessary to provide language files for other modules in such a case the name of the language file is module_name.language.lang.php e.g. Navigation.en.lang.php.

Content

The content of the language files is very simple. All you need is the module name, a key/identifier for the string and the translation.

It is recommended to create the translations in a spreadsheet software and export it as csv, as it is much easier to create all the translations for the different languages. You can install the demo application, install your module and then go to the Exchange module. In here you can navigate to the OMS exchange (exporter) and export the language/translations. This will provide a csv file for all modules and all templates with all the different supported languages. Simply search for your module and create the missing translations.

Afterwards you can import the modified csv file in the OMS exchange which will create the language files based on this file.

Please note that the csv must be ; deliminated and " escaped.
