Translation not possible

Hi,

(Joomla 1.7.3, Event-Booking 1.4.3), I'd like to translate the English language-files into German. Therefore I made a copy of the English file, renamed it and put it in the German language folder.
Now I tried to use the translation option in the administration of Event Booking. But always, when I tried to change the language in the drop down list of the language translation manager the Event Booking administration is closed and I return to the Joomla main menue.

Hi Claudia

This issue sometime happens on client's sites (3 or 4 clients sites so far). The strange thing is that it seems this is related to Joomla or the server on the site installed (there is no code to redirect o main page but it still redirect when choosing a language from language dropdown). I don't have any clue why this happen (from programming point of view), so I could not fix it.

In this case, just use the solution you suggested : Rename english language file, translate it manually using an Editor, then upload it to language folder of the language you want to translate !

Thank you for the quick response.
It's a pitty because it's far more comtable to translate it in the joomla system.

Possibly I could change the default language in the drop down to german. Where can I do this?

Great Idea !

1. Open the file administrator/components/com_eventbooking/views/language/view.html.php

2. Find the code below :

3. Change it to :

After that, German will become default language file and you can translate it !

BTW, someone has translated it and shared it on Forum. So you can simply get this language file here, upload it to German language folder and it will work fine . See joomdonation.com/index.php?option=com_ku...&limitstart=10#12065

No need for doing translation from scratch !

The german default in the drop down works. But unfortunatly I couldn't neither save a change or insert a new item. In all cases I'm redirected to the Joomla administration.

Hi Claudia

As I said, this issue happens on some "special sites", so there are two options here :

1. Use the manual translation method as I mentioned

2. Maybe you can submit a support ticket giving me administrator and FTP account of your site so that I can try to sovle it for you !
