Title: Switching languages in theme's template.html file
Post by: café on June 09, 2018, 02:43:19 pm

Hi Forum,

I'm creating a bilingual gallery with CPG. I'm using a theme which displays a number of custom phrases in English that are defined in the template.html file for the theme rather than from the strings defined in lang/english.php. I thought I could switch between English and Portuguese using PHP to detect the browser language settings but this doesn't work in the template.html file (i think it would need to be a *.php file).

Can anyone please offer a suggestion? I'm testing the page here: http://escuta.org/fotos - see the english titles "Gallery Options" and "User Options", for example.

Sorry, I'm not much good at php...

Thanks,

That is not currently a capability for a theme. But I think it is a useful capability to add and I will put it on the new features list.

Had some time to work out theme language additions.

Replace include/functions.inc.php with the attached.

Create a lang folder in your theme with language files as the following:

english.php

Code: [Select]

<?php

$theme_lang['GALLERY_OPTIONS'] = 'Gallery Options';
$theme_lang['USER_OPTIONS'] = 'User Options';

Then, in your theme template, use {THEME_LANG_GALLERY_OPTIONS}, etc.
