Localization:Email templates,classifieds&forum

I haven't found a solution to localize the Email templates, as well the classifieds and forum categories (last issue I probably need to post in the Boonex Orca discussion?

I run my site bilingual in English and German. Can I localize the final remaining topics above, too?

Or is there a possibility to run 2 instances of Dolphin classifieds and Orca forum on my server and link them depending on the users language choice?

Also in regards to localize content:  I want tp provide predefined categories in blog section. a) Can I provide default categories for the users and if, how can I localize those categories bilingual?

Thanks,

Dirk

The way I do it is duplicate the glparams   SELECT * FROM GlParams WHERE categ = 4 <<emails

export.edit to langauge then take out ids so they go in properly.then import

in the code i use:

if( $_COOKIE['lang'] == 'es' ){
$subject = getParam('t_Invite_Affiliate_ES_subject');
$thetextbody = getParam('t_Invite_Affiliate_ES');
}else{
$subject = getParam('t_Invite_Affiliate_subject');
$thetextbody = getParam('t_Invite_Affiliate');
}

Thanks, Mrpowless!!!

I'm not very familar with phpmyadmin (yet) so I got stuck following your instructions.

So far I was able to locate and select all kateg=4 items within GlParams. Now I can export the 49 items as one file to all sorts of formats.

- Can I use for editing purposes csv format as a valid file for importing once I'm done translating?

- What do you mean by take out id's out?  In the export file I see Name/VALUE/kateg/desc/type/check/err_text/order_in_kateg. No ID.

- Can phpmyadmin import mess with the current database? I'm a bit worried. On the left side I've chosen GlParams (also the path on top displays Server->Database->Table:GiParams) and the top menu says "import", I choose CSV, utf8 and importing is safe?

- and finally: In which exact file did you add your code?

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply! My goal is to localize automated Emails such as "Confirm your profile" or "New user confirmed".

Which file/place needs your suggested code? And which format do you use to save and edit the database? I couldn't see IDs using csv.

Thanks, Dirk

Still struggling with Email template localization. Anybody knows where (which file and place) to insert code which was suggested by Mr. Powerless?

"in the code i use:"...

Thanks,
