Phoca Forum

My website contains pages in 3 languages. Phocagallery 4.0.3 is installed on Joomla 3.2 and works fine. The only remaining point is the translation of categories title & description. Is it something possible with this version?
As many, I don't want to create 3 categories for the same pictures but unfortunately I cannot see how/where to integrate these translations.
Thank you in adavance for your help.

Hi, such way the Joomla! multilanguage feature is working, you will create 3x description in different languages.

You can use some other method/extensions for this feature (I didn't test any so no clue advice there) but you allways needs to write the description in 3 languages, there is no other way if you want to have it in 3 languages, it needs to be set in 3 languages - 3 x description, 3x categories, etc.

Try to search JED (extensions.joomla.org), maybe you will find some translation extension which will fit your needs more than the standard one in Joomla!

Hi Jan,
Thank you for your reply.
Actually I have no problem to create 3x the "same" category to give 3 different names. But I realy don't want to upload 3 times all my pictures. So do you think there is a way to define some kind of "links" between the different translated categories?

Hi, in Phoca Gallery, you can use one picture (original image) for more "images"

Image A (lang DE) can use the same original image like Image B (lang EN).

Hi Jan,
Thank for your reply. The solution you mentionned is realy interesting and I'm wondering how to implement it. Unfortunately, in the Phoca admin panel (images), I cannot see how/where to make the definition you mentionned. For y given image I can only specified a language (or all).
Do I need to install/use a specific version of Phoca (I'm using Phoca 4.0.3)? Hope you can give me more info/procedure.
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
Ben

Hi, no, in edit of image name, you just select the same image file name like by other items.
