Language Translation

[Ugyen]

Hi WHMCS Community,

 

I have applied your template 6 customization logic from http://docs.whmcs.com/Editing_Client_Area_Menus for Add a social media panel to the end of the sidebar includes/hooks/socialMediaPanel.php and Add support hours and a custom message to the sidebar on the submit ticket page in my WHMCS installation. Problem here is I can't translate to other language I have used both ways.

'label' => Lang::trans('yourstringhere'), under arrary for includes/hooks/addSupportHours.php. Can't able to translate the last line 51 and 52 . I have applied as you mentioned using array but not. I have shared screenshot for which It need to be translated. Looking forward hearing from you.

 

With Best Regards,

 

Ugyen

Hi Ugyen,

 

there would be a few ways to do this, depending on the complexity of your output message... for this, you can use sprintf and Language Overrides...

 

in the hook...

        $supportHours->setBodyHtml(
           $supportIsOpen
               ? sprintf(Lang::trans('supportdeptopen'),$greeting)
               : sprintf(Lang::trans('supportdeptclosed'),$greeting)
       );
   });
}

and then for the Language Overrides, just add entries to your language override file(s)...

 

$_LANG['supportdeptopen'] = "Hi%s! We're open and will respond to your ticket soon!";  
$_LANG['supportdeptclosed'] = "Don't worry%s! We will respond on the next business day. Sit tight!";

if you don't need to pass any variables in your translated message, then it's simpler and you won't need to use sprintf.

 

        $supportHours->setBodyHtml(
           $supportIsOpen
               ? Lang::trans('supportdeptopen')
               : Lang::trans('supportdeptclosed')
       );
   });
}

and...

 

$_LANG['supportdeptopen'] = "We're open and will respond to your ticket soon!";  
$_LANG['supportdeptclosed'] = "We will respond on the next business day. Sit tight!";

Hi!  Can you tell us how set head title on this hook?   Everything is translated, just not this part from top

 $supportHours = $primarySidebar->addChild('Support Time');

do you mean at the top of the sidebar ?

if so, then it should just need setLabel and using a language string (via Lang::trans).

I tried but not success.

Can you add how need look that code?  

This is from tutorial

$supportHours = $primarySidebar->addChild('Support Time');

I try include this

Lang::trans('titlenamesupporttime')

but without results.  

How we can properly implement lang trans?

If use lang trans like for child or  body, not work.

I think i need diferent use lang trans code for title?

Can you show me how?  Thank you!

the support hours lie changes to....

$supportHours = $primarySidebar->addChild('Support Hours')->setLabel(Lang::trans('supporthours'));

and then define your support hours heading language string in every language that your site uses (using Language Overrides)....

$_LANG['supporthours'] = "Brian's Support Hours";
