Plugin programming: How to "include" english language file?

[svasti]

Hi the experts,
small problem here:
I want to have the English language items in my plugins as default, in case I don't have them in other languages.
Say I have 100 items in the language file, but only 4 translated into Italian. Now my Italian friend should get the 4 Italian descriptions and the rest in English.
Sorry, tried hard, but couldn't find how to do this. ... include? ...merge_array?

Hi Frank,

it should suffice to include both language files in the right order:

Code: Select all

include 'en.php';
include 'it.php';
 

So only the entries that are defined in it.php will overwrite the according entries from en.php.

This feature will probably be implemented in CMSimple_XH 1.5.

Oh, so easy, ... I just tried it and it works great!
Thanx a lot, Christoph

Hallo,

Yes. Core and plugins will handle languages this way: load English as default and overwrite it as far as possible with the available texts of the selected language.
