All the language pack files are stored on the server (_lang\[area]\[language_name]\language.php).Choosing a Language
To choose a Language simply click the 'Set' button near the desired Language in the desired Language Section (i.e. Admin, Main, Partner). Changes will occur instantly.
Please note that if the User can change the language setting (Options/Site Options Admin CP) is active then any user will be able to choose a language from the currently available and provided ones.
Editing a Language
By clicking the 'Edit' link near a language you will be taken to the ABK-Soft AbleDating 2.4 Dating Software Language Editor. The Language Editor has 2 columns. The left column named Pages lets you define a page to edit a phrase or word, instead of having to scroll through absolutely all the phrases and words of all the ABK-Soft AbleDating 2.4 Dating Software powered pages.
To edit a phrase or word simply find it in the right column, edit the meaning in the corresponding text box and click the 'Edit' button at the bottom of the column.
You can also add new phrases and words which are connected to strings and variables inside the internal ABK-Soft AbleDating 2.4 Dating Software code. Simply type in the code phrase as it appears the Default language and its meaning in the current language and press 'Edit' to add them (up to 5 phrases or words) to the current language page.
Every newly added code phrase must be declared in the current template. For example, editing the German language file, adding 'Phrase A' as the code phrase (or string) and adding 'Phrase B' as the value for the string, will replace any string referring to 'Phrase A' with 'Phrase B' on all the pages where the 'Phrase A' string is included. The 'Phrase A' string will look like "{l_phrase_a}" (without the parenthesis), by typing {l_phrase_a}, for example, at the top of the home page for the currently active template, and choosing the German language will make it display as 'Phrase B'. This is not a hard concept to grasp. Do not forget to backup all your template and language files before changing anything. ABK-Soft is not responsible for any changes you make. For more information contact ABK-Soft Technical Support or Development teams.
