[SOLVED] NEWS - Translation not showing in Detail Template

georgechr · **Joined:** Tue Sep 13, 2011 6:02 am **Posts:** 95

Hey everyone,

I am facing a strange problem.

I have set up a new "summary template" and a new "detail template" for my news list and currently i am using the default ones.

I have created my code like below:

Code:

{news category="Greek*" number="5" sortby="news_date" summarytemplate="news" detailtemplate="news" lang="el_GR"}

The above code is displayed fine with its Greek translation in the summary template. Now though when i click on the title to view an article, the detail template ignores my language settings and show me items in Englishh (return link, category label etc).

I checked the lang file of el_GR and its fine. The translations are there, i compared with the en_US one. I tried making changes to it, and saw that the changes are applied when in summary template whereas ignored in detail template.

How can i fix this?

Thanks in advance

Do you have front end language set to greek?...

no, but i don't want to set it, because if i do, my English news manager shows in Greek. I have a site with two languages.

In my understanding when entering the "lang" parameter in the tags its enough.

Do you use pretty url?

yes i do, does this play any role?

Yes, because lang parameter is not passed to detail template in pretty url mode. You can use smarty replace. For return link:

Code:

{$return_url|replace:'return':'RETURN_IN_GREEK'}

Thanks for the help.

btw i tried to change

Code:

{if $return_url != ""}
<div id="NewsPostDetailReturnLink">{$return_url}{if $category_name != ''} - {$category_link}{/if}</div>
{/if}

to

Code:

{if $return_url != ""}
<div id="NewsPostDetailReturnLink">{$return_url|replace:'return':'Επιστροφή'}{if $category_name != ''} - {$category_link}{/if}</div>
{/if}

but it doenst work, still english.

I have the same problem with other fields. For example when showing category name in summary view is displayed fine, but when going to detail template it changes to English.

I am guessing the solution would be to change:

Code:

{$category_label} {$entry->category}

to

Code:

{$category_label|category:'category':'GREEK NAME'} {$entry->category}

?

What is text in your return link?
Probably your return link is "Return" (first capital letter).

Yes its "Return"

vilkis · **Posted:** Mon May 21, 2012 11:15 am

So

Code:

{$return_url|replace:'Return':'Επιστροφή'}

should work.

Can i do it for others as well like i mentioned above?
