Multiple language support has been available in Pixaria since version 2.5 and is provided by means of localisation text files (which are stored in resources/local/) and code placeholders in the front end template files.
When a front-end template file is loaded, Pixaria loads the language file for the currently selected user interface language and then automatically replaces the placeholder codes in the template with the appropriate text from the language file.
In the example below, the placeholder code in a template is replaced with a text string from a Norwegian language file:
Template file code:<p>##IM_OUTPUT_02##</p>Replacement code from Norwegian language file:
$strings['IM_OUTPUT_02'] = "Laster forhåndsvisning av bilde";Final output from Pixaria to web browser:
<p>Laster forhåndsvisning av bilde</p>
If you would like to get a free license for Pixaria and you are able to translate the software into another language, please get in touch explaining what language you are interested in translating Pixaria into. Full details of the process for creating a new translation of Pixaria can be found on the translation instructions page.
Please note that I cannot offer a free license for languages with less than 1,000,000 native speakers but I may be able to offer a discounted price on a full license. If you would like to discuss this, please get in touch.
In association with Amazon, here are some great book recommendations to help you get started using Pixaria Gallery and support continued development - all at the same time!
