I am scoping a project that could really use Seblod - in Arabic

How does Seblod work for RTL languages?
I can see on transiflex that an arabic translation was in process. But what happens if you add fields /custom forms - does any new field/label need a specific translation?

Cheers

Alan

Hi alanski,

Thank you for your post and welcome to SEBLOD.

Firstly I want to say that I speak Arabic and that is my native language. So if you have any concerns please do not hesitate to return to this forum to get help.

In Arabic, there are different points to consider:

  • The general template that you use for your joomla website. This template must works well for RTL languages.
  • SEBLOD templates that are used to present the articles and lists managed by SEBLOD. At the current time, so that SEBLOD templates support Arabic, we need to add additional CSS. In order to do that,
    • you can post your query in our tracker
    • you can send us a support request for that we take in charge this service againts payment
  • The work is being conducted on transifex is to translate, in arabic, language files of SEBLOD currently available only in english and french.
  • Finaly, when you add fields in forms (custom or not), you can add a specific translation of fields label, and so on, in a specific files called override.ini. You can add translations in this files directly in back-end. For that, you should click on "Extensions > Language Manager > overrides" menu links. In overrides page, you can add translation by clicking on button "New".

I hope that answered your questions. Do not hesitate to come back to us for more details.

Regards,
Mehdi.

Many thanks Mehdi. That's a great answer an done I was hoping for. If we wanted several custom admin screens then it sounds like we can achieve this happily with a bit of translation help.  Fab :)

Hello Mehdi,

Thank you for supporting the RTL coumminity.

I hope I understood your explaination correctly about the translation. Moreover, is it possible to change the direction of the fields from LTR to RTL ? If it does, what are the steps that needs to be taken ?


Thank you for your time and for this amazing extension.

Ofer.
