translate configuration menu detail item in the admin panel

[ihangat2000]

Is there an easy way to change the language of the configuration menu detail item in the admin panel when selecting language through the select language dropdown?

Currently it can be done via SQL Update in the Admin menu > Tools > Install SQL Patces.

Language files that have defines associated with the language to be displayed is the way to go to display items in the admin menu in the language selected in the admin screen.

There should be plenty of information on this in the docs site... click the button above and search perhaps on admin language.

Thank you for the response.
When changing languages via the Choose Language dropdown, the Title under the Configuration menu cannot be changed through the language file.
Currently this can be done via the menu: Tools> Install SQL Patches.

Emmm ...
How to run SQL commands automatically when the change dropdown choose language event?.

There should be a define in YOUR_ADMIN/includes/languages/YOUR_LANGUAGE.php
For such headings. As pictured above it would be:

define('BOX_CONFIGURATION_MY_STORE', 'My Store');

Note that using the database to store that value would result in it always being in that language because there is no "language" switch in an associated database field to know/detect which language is to be displayed...

If it has been hard coded somehow in the database to be just that english value, then the store has been modified to support that instead of using the flexibility of the language system.

Ok, thanks, it seems like I've found a way without updating the SQL Patch, and this is explained in the file:
admin/configuration.php

line number: 153-163
(zen cart v.157)

                  // multilanguage support:
                  // For example, in admin/includes/languages/spanish/configuration.php
                  // define('CFGTITLE_STORE_NAME', 'Nombre de la Tienda');
                  // define('CFGDESC_STORE_NAME', 'El nombre de mi tienda');
                  if (defined('CFGTITLE_' . $item['configuration_key'])) {
                    $item['configuration_title'] = constant('CFGTITLE_' . $item['configuration_key']);
                  }
                  if (defined('CFGDESC_' . $item['configuration_key'])) {
                    $item['configuration_description'] = constant('CFGDESC_' . $item['configuration_key']);
                  }
                  ?>

and I have tried, it works.

Well I never knew that!

Is this documented?

[torvista]

If I had the time/need, I would expand this

https://github.com/torvista/zen-cart...tion-constants

to create a list of those new constants to paste into that file.

You also could do something clever with the output as texts to get them in/out of Google translate as a first pass attempt, maybe...

I'm afraid it hasn't been documented yet

Wow its auto create constant file like this:

<?php //2020-07-10 13:54:29
//$show_configuration_values = false
define('STORE_NAME', '');			//configuration_id=1 - Nama Toko
define('STORE_OWNER', '');			//configuration_id=2 - Pemilik toko
define('STORE_TELEPHONE_CUSTSERVICE', '');			//configuration_id=3 - Telepon - Layanan Pelanggan
define('STORE_COUNTRY', '');			//configuration_id=4 - Negara
define('STORE_ZONE', '');			//configuration_id=5 - Daerah
define('EXPECTED_PRODUCTS_SORT', '');			//configuration_id=6 - Urutan Sortir yang Diharapkan
define('EXPECTED_PRODUCTS_FIELD', '');			//configuration_id=7 - Bidang Sortir yang Diharapkan
...
...

cool

It would be better if the code directly makes a prefix:
CFGTITLE_
and
CFGDESC_
like the code below:

/** Konfigurasi Dalam Bahasa Indonesia **/
define('CFGTITLE_STORE_NAME','Nama Toko');
define('CFGTITLE_STORE_OWNER','Pemilik toko');

...
...

and

define('CFGDESC_STORE_NAME','Nama toko saya');
define('CFGDESC_STORE_OWNER','Nama pemilik toko saya');
