Create a Language Pack

This page describes how to create a DNS Manager translation.

Overview

To translate the interface messages and view your translation in the DNS Manager interface remember the translation advice. 

Get the language pack component English files

1. Change the current directory to: <DNSMANAGER_ROOT_D>/bin/utils/
2. Run the script dnsmanager_lp_replicate.sh This script will ask you to enter the ISO code of the language for your DNS Manager translation.
3. The script creates a new directory named language_packs/<LANGUAGE_CODE> which contains all the files needed by the language pack.
   

Translate the interface language file

Translate the file created in the previous step: language_packs/<LANGUAGE_CODE>/language/<LANGUAGE_CODE>.php.

You can use your favorite text editor. However, make sure that the file is PHP valid (for more details, follow the Tips ).

Compile the language pack

1. Change the current directory to: <DNSMANAGER_ROOT_D>/bin/utils/.
2. Run the script dnsmanager_lp_create.sh The script will ask you to enter:
   
   • • The ISO code of the language of the DNS Manager translation.
     • The name of the language of the DNS Manager translation.
     • The version of the DNS Manager product corresponding to the translated language pack.

   The script searches the current directory for a sub-directory named after the ISO code of the language. If you have skipped the first step (Get the language pack component English files), the script will display an error message because it cannot find the sub-directory LANGUAGE_NAME>.
   

3. The script creates two files that can be used for installing the language pack:

   dnsmanager<PRODUCT_VERSION>_<LANGUAGE_NAME>.sh
   dnsmanager<PRODUCT_VERSION>_<LANGUAGE_NAME>.tar.gz

   

Install the language pack

To install the language pack you have two options:

• From the directory <DNSMANAGER_ROOT_D>/bin/utils/language_packs/on your server.
• Run the dnsmanager<PRODUCT_VERSION>_<LANGUAGE_NAME>.sh script created previously.
  

Follow these steps:

1. Log in the DNS Manager interface with the administrator account.
2. Go to the PBX » Languages » Add language page.
3. Upload the dnsmanager<PRODUCT_VERSION>_<LANGUAGE_NAME>.tar.gz file previously created.
