I want to convert admin area of the forums multilanguage.

For example, I have change

<tr>
          <td class="header1" colspan="5">
            Who is online</td>
</tr>

<tr>
          <td class="header1" colspan="5">
            <YAF:LocalizedLabel ID="Localizedwhoonline" runat="server" LocalizedTag="WHO_ONLINE" /></td>
</tr>

And I have added in the languages/english.xml:

 <page name="ADMIN">
    <Resource tag="WHO_ONLINE">Who is online</Resource>
    <Resource tag="NAME">Name</Resource>
    <Resource tag="IP_ADDRESS">IP Address</Resource>
    <Resource tag="LOCATION">Location</Resource>
    <Resource tag="FORUM_LOCATION">Forum Location</Resource>
    <Resource tag="TOPIC_LOCATION">Topic Location</Resource>
    <Resource tag="UNVERIFIED_USERS">Unverified Users</Resource>
    <Resource tag="EMAIL">Email</Resource>
    <Resource tag="LOCATION">Location</Resource>
    <Resource tag="JOINED">Joined</Resource>
	</page>

What are the steps to convert admin Area multi-language?

thanks

You're doing it right. You just need to add following constructor to the code-behind of admin.ascx

  public partial class admin : AdminPage
  {
	  public admin()
		  : base("ADMIN")
	  {
	  }
	  ...

Anyway, if you are going to do this, you do it right and share it with others, you'll earn big recognition. 😎

Some notions:

1.How much adding of the tons of rarely used new tags to a single file will decrease access time to other tags which are used in 99,9% cases?

2.Adding all the tags to a single page parent node will make even XPath queries work slow, as the total number of tags to localize is huge.

mmmm my labels appear blank....

Im writing the labels in forum/languages/.xml

well

step 1: for example in admin/admin.ascx I changed


<td class="header2">
            IP Address</td>
          <td class="header2">


<td class="header2">
            <YAF:LocalizedLabel ID="IP_ADDRESS" runat="server" LocalizedTag="IP_ADDRESS" /></td>
          <td class="header2">

I change

public partial class admin : AdminPage
  {

    public partial class admin : AdminPage
  {
      public admin()
          : base("ADMIN")
      {
      }

And in forum/Languages/ I added

<page name="ADMIN">
 ..............
    <Resource tag="IP_ADDRESS">Ip Address</Resource>
...........
	</page>

But in the control panel the labels are blank

What is missing?

thanks

Dunno what are you doing wrong, but there may be typo somewhere in your code/files.

I tried it and it works just, see for yourself.

Thanks, Now is working fine!!

But I have a problem. Some buttons trnaslate fine and others are blank.

For example in pages/admin/admin.ascx


<FooterTemplate>
      <tr>
        <td class="footer1" colspan="5">
          <asp:Button OnLoad="ApproveAll_Load" CommandName="approveall" CssClass="pbutton" runat="server" Text='<%# PageContext.Localization.GetText("APROVEALL") %>' runat="server" />
          <asp:Button OnLoad="DeleteAll_Load" CommandName="deleteall" CssClass="pbutton" runat="server" Text='<%# PageContext.Localization.GetText("DELETE_OLD") %>' runat="server" /></td>
      </tr>
      
    		</FooterTemplate>

works fine

but Pages/admin/bannedip_edit.ascx


<tr>
			<td class="footer1" colspan="2" align="center">
			<asp:Button ID="save" runat="server" Text='<%# PageContext.Localization.GetText("ADMIN_SAVE") %>' OnClick="Save_Click"></asp:Button>
				<asp:Button ID="cancel" runat="server" Text='<%# PageContext.Localization.GetText("ADMIN_CANCEL") %>' OnClick="Cancel_Click"></asp:Button>

			</td>
		</tr>

Doesnt work. Why?

Thanks

Because <%# is evaluated on data binding (for instance within repeater as in first example). Try using <%= instead

<asp:Button ID="save" runat="server" Text='<%= PageContext.Localization.GetText("ADMIN_SAVE") %>' OnClick="Save_Click"></asp:Button>

Is showing the literal

"<%= PageContext.Localization.GetText("ADMIN_SAVE") %>"

And text without single quotes

<asp:Button ID="save" runat="server" Text=<%= PageContext.Localization.GetText("ADMIN_SAVE")%> OnClick="Save_Click"></asp:Button>

shows the error ="Server labels can not contain <% ... %>."

It seems to be working now. I added this to the page_load event, at the end of the page:


 this.EditUserTabs.Views["View1"].Text = GetText("ADMIN_USER_DETAILS");
      this.EditUserTabs.Views["View2"].Text = GetText("ADMIN_USER_ROLES");
      this.EditUserTabs.Views["View3"].Text = GetText("ADMIN_USER_PROFILE");
      this.EditUserTabs.Views["View4"].Text = GetText("ADMIN_USER_AVATAR");
      this.EditUserTabs.Views["View5"].Text = GetText("ADMIN_USER_SIGNATURE");
      this.EditUserTabs.Views["View6"].Text = GetText("ADMIN_USER_PASSWORD");
      this.EditUserTabs.Views["View7"].Text = GetText("ADMIN_USER_POINTS");
      this.EditUserTabs.Views["View8"].Text = GetText("ADMIN_USER_SUSPEND");
      this.EditUserTabs.Views["View9"].Text = GetText("ADMIN_USER_KILL_ACTIVITY");
