Can not change language to spanish

nanahuatzin

I uploaded the spanish language package , then setup in Joomla spanish as default, but Joomsocial stays in english even if other parts of Joomla change to spanish

This is the ID of the language package

<name>com_community - es-ES</name>
<version>2021-01-25-06-27-39</version>
<creationDate>25.01.2021</creationDate>

Hi
Kindly check http://ijoomla.com/translations/jomsocial the package you installed is not completed. Follow these steps to convert the language : https://documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Translations

I uploaded the full package.

But I am not sure about the instruction. They are for translate the menu bar for a multilingual site.
How do I translate the front end and backend options?

After upload the new file there is no diference.

nanahuatzin I uploaded the full package.

Hi
The package is not full, please read check the link i sent and its disclaimer.
Both the backend and frontend translation will be done by same method : https://documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Translations

Open language/en-GB/com_community.ini file
this file is used for frontend, now copy the code and place it in spanish language folder. This will do the translation for frontend and the same method will apply for admin panel.

Ok, so, everything is done with overrides.

Would not be easier to put the spanish package "es-ES.com_community.ini" into "es-ES.override.ini" ?

Hi
Yes Override is a good option but if you have to make full spanish site its better to make a new file with name : es-ES.com_community.ini in ES folder it will take less time for you to change the English words.

Please note : Do not change any syntax in the language file, this result problem in file and in this case JomSocial will load only EN language file.

Found the problem. The spanish translation file is broken.

After fixing it it worked.

This thread can be closed. 🙂
