Michael Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I'm up for this would be nice for international customers. But has to be a optional feature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 but currently blesta doenst have translation? i didnt try that im from Panama i definitely need some very good multilang options Yes they do, however you need to download the files from http://translate.blesta.com and upload the files to the correct place.

BillP Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I agree with the OP. Correct me if I'm wrong in any of the following, but the current situation with Blesta regarding languages is: 1. As installed, Blesta only does US English. 2. Language files to be able to use languages other than the default US English can be installed, as Mike says, from translate.blesta.com. 3. This then gives the admin control panel the ability to set the site-wide default language to other than US English. 4. It also gives a logged-in client in the client area the ability to set their own language for their account, overriding the default. 5. However, these language facilities does not give the visitor/potential client to the order forms the ability to have those in anything other than the default language set in 1 or 2. I would like to see facilities to be able to change the language in the order form for non-logged in users by means of a URL query string, in the same way that the currency in the order forms can be changed per user. I would also mention for those interested in providing or using the British English translation files that they are far from fit for purpose. British English is a bit of a special case, though, and doesn't fit well into the crowd sourced translation utility. The great majority of the language phrases will be just the same in both US English and British English, so do not need translating. But many are, while the default US English entries would be perfectly correct. Also, I have found that many of those phrases that do need translating are incorrectly translated in the British English files, retaining US spellings and usage. For instance, the American English spelling of the British English word 'colour' is used, also the American English files use the abbreviation of the hash symbol to mean 'number', which are retained in the British English files, but are never used in the UK in that context. There are also a couple of examples of phrases in the British English files that are in some other non-English language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanel Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 IMHO, this should be more generic. Ideally the client should be able to select the language for the whole UI, not just for the order forms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can change the language in the client area. A language selector should appear on all non-authenticated pages, if more than one language is installed. Cody has suggested so in the task. The question is more about where it should appear, and for consistency I'm leaning toward the footer but we're open to suggestions.

The question is more about where it should appear, and for consistency I'm leaning toward the footer but we're open to suggestions. Its better to show the Language selector on all pages (Autenticated or Not) For exemple, we are Portuguese, and we have several clients in outher countries, if some client goes to Login Area or Ticket Support, and it dosent have the Language Selector (Default Portuguese), it can be a litle dificult to outher people to understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rain Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 +1 Hello, It will be nice to switch language without going to client settings. For example, my main language of Blesta portal is English. Some client find me on google search, but this client don't know english at all. I think it must be some language switcher on Portal without need of client register. I think users must switch they language by links, for example in bootstrap modal window. For example, somewhere (may be in footer) in Blesta Portal you can insert the button or link "Switch Language". When users wants to switch they language, they push this link or button, and they can chose prefer language from avaliable system packages in bootstrap modal (with flag image of Country and language name). When this feature will be done? Example: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rain Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 It is coming: CORE-1320 Ok, but I just suggest using this feature not with <select class="form-control"> (not like in CORE-1320 now). I think it is more usefull if this looks like text links with country flags in bootstrap modal like on screenshots I attached on my previous post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanel Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Does anyone know if Blesta team is actually planning to implement this and any of the other language support related tasks in the next two releases? I am not sure if they actually understand that lack of language support makes Blesta pointless for half of the countries in Europe due to multiple languages or large minority ethnic groups (with their own languages) in the countries. In addition to this, I am sure I am not the only one who wants to target at least the local languages + English for international customers.
