How can I translate phoca guestbook to spanish?

[dafaher]

Hello guys, I just installed phoca guestbook for the very first time, and I'm running Joomla 3.8.2. I'd like to translate this extension to spanish but I have no idea what files I should edit. I would appreciate any suggestion about this matter, I've been doing some research on this forum but didn't find instructions. Thank you very much in advance!

Hi,
1.) Take this translation as a basis:
https://github.com/PhocaCz/PhocaGuestbo ... ok-j17.zip
Extract it locally on your PC. You will find two files in it:

• es-ES.com_phocaguestbook.ini

and:

• es_ES.com_phocaguestbook.sys.ini

Open these two files in an editor such as Notepad ++

2.) Download the latest version of Phoca Guestbook.
https://github.com/PhocaCz/PhocaGuestbo ... v3.0.6.zip
Extract it locally on your PC. You will find this folder in it:
/language/en-GB
this folder contains two files:

• en-GB.com_phocaguestbook.ini

and:

• en-GB.com_phocaguestbook.sys.ini

Open these two files in an editor such as Notepad ++

3.) Compare:

• es-ES.com_phocaguestbook.ini

and:

• en-GB.com_phocaguestbook.ini

You will find that in:

• es-ES.com_phocaguestbook.ini

many strings are missing.
Now you should copy the missings strings and paste it into:

• es-ES.com_phocaguestbook.ini

After that you should translate the missing strings into Spanish.

4.) The same with:

• es_ES.com_phocaguestbook.sys.ini

and:

• en-GB.com_phocaguestbook.sys.ini

5.) When you have finished translating and you have saved the files, you can consider whether you want to create a manifest file, or not. With a manifest file you are able to install your language files directly in Joomla, if you don't, you have to transfer the two files into your language folder manually:
/language/es-ES/

As an example of a manifest file, take a look at this language pack:
