custom tpl_header based on language

[Ruts67]

Is it possible to apply the language overrides to the Common folder in a template

currently my file is here /includes/templates/CUSTOM/common/tpl_header.php

What I was hoping to have was something like

/includes/templates/CUSTOM/common/English/tpl_header.php
/includes/templates/CUSTOM/common/German/tpl_header.php
/includes/templates/CUSTOM/common/French/tpl_header.php etc

This way I can change elements like "item(s)" to reflect in each language, and I have a drop list that I want to display in each language as well in the header.

Am I going about this the right way or should I maybe try something like

/includes/templates/CUSTOM/English/common/tpl_header.php
/includes/templates/CUSTOM/German/common/tpl_header.php
/includes/templates/CUSTOM/French/common/tpl_header.php

I don't see any language files in these templates and am at a loss as how to create them - i need to do this for about 8 different languages

I have all the other bits of the shop working well with languages and currencies etc - just can't get my head around the header and footer

Add your own defines in
/includes/languages/english/CUSTOM/header.php

Something like:

define('HEADER_TITLE_CART_ITEM', 'Item(s)'); 

do the same for other languages

Then use those in /includes/templates/CUSTOM/common/tpl_header.php page

Thank you - that worked perfectly!

Any english folder can be copied and placed inside your other language folder then edited or translate the defines into the added language.
