Magento Blog http://www.magentocommerce.com/blog/ en Magento Marketing Copyright 2012 2012-05-18T21:16:00-08:00 Video: In-Line Translations http://www.magentocommerce.com/blog/video-in-line-translations/ http://www.magentocommerce.com/blog/video-in-line-translations/#When:02:27:00Z Magento’s next release will feature the ability to overwrite existing translations to a local installation of Magento on a global or per store view basis. In this video, we demonstrate overwriting the default translations for a drop-down field as well as a text-label using the new in-line system. At the end end of video, we also show how to enable such functionality on your instance of the Magento admin (backoffice).

We are currently working on a centralized system that will facilitate managing Magento translations to different languages. In the future, this system will manage the translation process for selected interfaces (including contributions made via Magento Connect) and modules.

Please note that translation can be made for drop-down values (any form element really), images (alt, title), links, strings inside scripts (warning, errors), etc. The following items will be displayed in the translation window:

  • Scope - Module that the translation is associated with
  • Shown - Current representation of the translation
  • Original - The original text as provided by the module
  • Translated - Current translation
  • Store Specific - If checked, translation will be applied to the store view and not the locale
  • Custom - New translation to be entered in the textbox

We hope you like it!

this is very painful for me, I can’t just copy paste every single string! please find a solution for this problem!
Persian translation is 0.0% now

]]> 2012-05-18 T;21:16:00-08:00 Comment by Lusi {url_as_title} Hi - tutorial has been finished when set yes or no to the ....translate in line for backend…
For those lucky you for whom tranlations inline works you can just refreshed and that is it ?
My smart translation tool does not work any suggestion?

]]> 2012-05-18 T;21:16:00-08:00 Comment by mayerwin {url_as_title} Is it normal that tranlsations are not shared between two storeviews in two different websites that have the same language?

]]> 2012-05-18 T;21:16:00-08:00 Comment by Frederik Krautwald {url_as_title} icebear

They are stored in the database. Unfortunately, I am not at a computer now with a magento installation, but I believe the table is core_translate.

]]> 2012-05-18 T;21:16:00-08:00 Comment by icebear {url_as_title} sadly it’s not stored in the csv-file. wondering where it is stored. need to make some changes in the german translation. Does anybody know where it is stored?

]]> 2012-05-18 T;21:16:00-08:00 Comment by Frederik Krautwald {url_as_title} Yes, where does the translations get stored?

]]> 2012-05-18 T;21:16:00-08:00 Comment by hadi "!MP" farnoud {url_as_title} If we can store it in CVS it would be great tool
(for example admin store can decide these changes will save in CVS files too or not)

]]> 2012-05-18 T;21:16:00-08:00 Comment by ozstar {url_as_title} Hi,

More than likely it is my problem that yours, but I can’t get any sound from the flash movie at this URL.

http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-on-the-fly/in_line_translations_magento/

It is turned on?  All other flash at my ends seems to work fine.

I’m using FF2 and Flash 9

Thanks

oz smile

Looking forward to see it.

]]> 2012-05-18 T;21:16:00-08:00 Comment by hadi "!MP" farnoud {url_as_title} what about rtl support?some languages need to be rtl,is it possible to make it auto? I mean if I choosed Arabic or Persian Magento choose rtl skin too(its better create an rtl CSS seprately)

]]> 2012-05-18 T;21:16:00-08:00 Comment by Johan {url_as_title} This is awesome!

Way more than I was anticipating from a first release.

Keep it up!

]]> 2012-05-18 T;21:16:00-08:00 Comment by mmas {url_as_title} Hey medic - I’m in the same boat and feel you. I’m integrating my template and ordering stock, but waiting on the final release before starting to take orders. I’d love to go live in a week, but its more of a competitive advantage to have the features of Mage than it is to get an extra few weeks worth of orders.

Roy - I think that alot of new businesses are waiting on the platform. Thanks for doing such a great job in keeping close to your timeline, as well as the great unexpected features.

]]> 2012-05-18 T;21:16:00-08:00 Comment by Loïc {url_as_title} Fantastic ! looking foward seeing this tool for managing Magento translations to different languages

]]> 2012-05-18 T;21:16:00-08:00 Comment by YoavKutner {url_as_title} @novalis - Although this tool is definitely going make translations easier I just wanted to emphasize that this also allows store admins to change text to whatever they wish even in the same language. So this also answers questions like: ‘How do I change ‘My Account’ to ‘Your Account’ or ‘Shopping Cart’ to ‘Shopping Basket’ etc.

As a side note, this will also eliminate threads like ‘Which is the right way to name things, Log in or Sign in’ , and text will easily be managed by the store admins as they see fit smile.

Thanks

yoav

]]> 2012-05-18 T;21:16:00-08:00 Comment by novalis {url_as_title} Great stuff! This feature will make the translation _much_ easier. Thanks to you guys for listening to the community about this smile

And - you should clear your inbox from time to time… “Varien - Inbox (14144)” :D

]]> 2012-05-18 T;21:16:00-08:00 Comment by Lucian {url_as_title} Interesting feature - looking forward for another pre-release version smile to test it also.

]]> 2012-05-18 T;21:16:00-08:00 Comment by medic {url_as_title} I’m looking forward to it.

We started ordering stock this week, so I really have to get my butt into gear when the final product comes out.

]]> 2012-05-18 T;21:16:00-08:00 Comment by RoyRubin {url_as_title} @medic - We’ve got some things in mind but nothing is set in stone (and thus not made public) :( In regards to the code, we still advise to hang on as changes are expected.

]]> 2012-05-18 T;21:16:00-08:00 Comment by medic {url_as_title} Do you have a set amount of pre-releases before the final product comes out this month?

Also, are there areas i should avoid customising due to future code changes?

]]> 2012-05-18 T;21:16:00-08:00 Comment by RoyRubin {url_as_title} @medic - very (very) soon.

]]> 2012-05-18 T;21:16:00-08:00 Comment by medic {url_as_title} Is there an ETA for the next update?
