Hello... im absolutely newbie and i dont know anything about .php files. I tried to make a new section in my oscomerce web. I built a new file (let's call it "newfile.php"). I want it to be translated to the different languages avialable... I guessed i should make a require some way like "require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . 'newfile.php'); " and then, build a "newfile.php" in each lenguage directory, and use the php echo to write up the translated text. I thought that should be enough. But it seems it doesnt work, so i suppose it works some other way.... that's why i'm asking how to requiere a file?.

What exactly are you trying to do? Where do you want the file to show up? Is it going to be a box, etc.

 

If you need to require a file, there are only a few files you should add it to, unless you are adding support for an existing feature. Just need a little more information in order to give you an answer

Well, its just a full new section, but i want to preserve the format of the page (so header, left column, etc.). I wanted that the contents of this page could be translated.... like with conditions.php or privacy.php. In fact, what i tried to do was to make a copy of the conditions, replacing the content and the name, but obviously it didnt work.

 

Thanks.

OK - so is the only output - "NAVBAR_TITLE" etc, not the value?

 

Can I get a link to that? I think your problem may just be file placement - but I am having a hard time visualizing what you are doing.

Well i tried to do just the same way that "privacy.php" or "conditions.php" work.... i guessed that the way these files work is including ore requiring the files in i.e. "includes/lenguages/english/privacy.php" which content de values of the (variables?) like "HEADING_SUBTITLE_1". So then i thought that just using the formula <?php echo HEADING_SUBTITLE_1; ?> the text would be shown. Well as i said i have no idea.

 

What link do u need? to the file i tried to make? its in http://www.cooperacio.org/donacions/projectes.php

 

Thanx.

Yeah - your not getting any output at all so your file is in the wrong place - it's not reading the include - most likely because you have it in the /donacions/ directory - this is where you problem is - you have to figure out the proper path to the included files.

 

I would try putting this file into the

 

language/%lang%/ directory, and see if it reads anything there

 

since it's not giving any errors, you may also want to put a "die" stament into your

 

require statement

 

require('myfile.php) or die('hey I can't include this file darnit!');

 

hopefully this helps I' pretty sure this all to do with file placement - it can be very strict in OSC

One problem is in the require line for your languages:

 

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . 'projectes.php');

 

Should be:

 

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . 'projectes.php');

 

The missing slash will cause the require to fail.

 

Also, in your original question you said something about

 

I want it to be translated to the different languages avialable

 

Just to be clear, osCommerce does not translate for you. If you want it in other languages you have to translate yourself and place in the appropriate language directory.

Thank you all guys.... but it isn't working and i can't understand why. If i requiere any other file from the languages/english/ directory it works, but never with my "projectes". I will keep trying.
