New page

==Overview==
This tutorial will cover the method of translating every JomSocial Element such are [[Custom Profile Fields]], Groups, Video and Event Categories. In other words, every element that can be found in across JomSocial's configuration. 
Translating Elements will involve some modifying of JomSocial language files. If you already have multilingual site, we will assume you know how to manipulate with language files of Joomla and extensions that are installed.
With your favorite code editor, open default JomSocial language file which is '''ROOT/language/en-GB/en-GB.com_community.ini''' and open language file for your respective language. It should be this file '''ROOT/language/xx-YY/xx-YY.com_community.ini''' where xx-YY is your language code
Scroll to the bottom of both files

===Translating Method===
For this tutorial, we will translate [[Custom Profiles Fields]] but you can apply same method to video, group and event categories, as well as Toolbar which is covered in [[Translate Toolbar|other tutorial]] 
Navigate to the site backend and from Components dropdown menu select JomSocial -> Custom Profiles 
[[File:Jsmenucustomprofiles.png]]

In the page that opens click on the field you want to translate. For this tutorial, we will translate '''Gender''' field

[[File:Customprofilegenderdefault.png]]

Replace the '''Name''' of the field with a language key you want to use. You can use basically any key you want but for the sake of uniformed design we will use this schema
'''COM_COMMUNITY_FIELDS_ITEMNAME''' 
Following this schema, we will enter the COM_COMMUNITY_FIELDS_GENDER in '''Name''' field as indicated on the picture bellow

[[File:Customprofilegender1.png]]
* '''Note''' - we entered the COM_COMMUNITY_FIELDS_GENDER in that field, only it is not fully visible.
Save the field and at the bottom of language files add the proper translation.
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
COM_COMMUNITY_FIELDS_GENDER="Our Translation"
</syntaxhighlight>
 
Navigate to the site Front End and you will see your new translation in effect

using the same method, you can translate the field tooltips, field options, as well as video, group and event categories and descriptions.

===Limitation===
Some limitation applies. You cant translate Multiprofiles in JomSocial.
