Phoca Forum

Hi, I downloaded the Italian translation of phocamenu, I have inserted the related files in their section.... but it's still in English!

Phoca Restaurant Menu for Joomla 4.

Hi,
The available Italian language pack for Phoca Restaurant Menu is completely outdated (from 2010) and was created for Joomla 1.5. It cannot work with Joomla! 4.

Kind regards,
Benno

Hi, this usually happens when the language files aren’t placed in the exact folders or named correctly. Double-check that the Italian files are uploaded to both /language/it-IT/ and /administrator/language/it-IT/, and that the filenames match PhocaMenu’s extension name exactly (for example, it-IT.com_phocamenu.ini). Also make sure Italian is set as the default site and administrator language in Joomla. After that, clear Joomla and browser cache and refresh—this often resolves it.

@henryjamesss
This has nothing to do with the Italian language files possibly being copied to the wrong folders, but rather with the fact that Joomla 1.5 language files used a completely different syntax than all later Joomla versions.

Example of a J1.5 string: The same string for all later Joomla versions: Therefore J1.5 language strings can not work in later Joomla versions.

Kind regards,
Benno

Thanks for the information.
If I wanted to translate the strings myself, could you tell me which files to work on? Thanks again.

Found both in Administrator and Language.
I'll try translating by opening the files with Notepad.

Ok.

Kind regards,
Benno
