Last Updated on Wednesday, 17 March 2010 07:14 Written by Georg Wednesday, 17 March 2010 07:09

By default, Kunena forum will follow the Joomla site selected language settings. 

First of, have a look over here:

http://www.kunena.com/forum/107-translations

to see if someone else already translated Kunena to your desired language.If so, then download the existing file. If not, then you may download the translation toolkit:

http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/kunena/scmsvn/?action=browse&path=%2Ftrunk%2Ftools%2Ftranslators%2F

If you plan to redistribute your translation, review the terms of the license. To use the core kunena code for your translation for redistribution, you must adhere to the terms of the license.

1. Perform the actual translation.
   
2. Download the Kunena distribution, and unzip it. Find:
   administrator/components/com_kunena/language
   
3. Copy the file kunena.english.php to kunena.yourlanguage.php
   
4. Edit the file kunena.yourlanguage.php and replace the English text with text in your language.
   
5. In the Kunena folder, find: /components/com_kunena/template/default_ex/images
   
6. Copy the english folder and rename the copy your language. Alternately, copy the blank_images folder from the translation toolkit
   
7. Using a graphics editor, edit each image in the icons folder,replacing or inserting text as needed
   

Create a zip file containig your translation, organized as follows
Name the file kunena_version_language_translation.zip. For example, kunena_1.08_english_translation.zip
Create the following files and include appropriate content:
README.txt
LICENSE.txt
Create the following folder structure for your files:
administrator/components/com_kunena/language Place kunena.yourlanguage.php here

components/com_kunena/template/default_ex/images Place the yourlanguage folder here,
containing at minumum, the icons folder.

The JP Pub Theme. FREE to use Joomla! template. Some visitors on the forums were asking about a Joomla template suited for bars', or pubs', websites. Well, well, what's a pub to be for the web? Possibly a community site. This made us think through the glass of beer, while keeping our mind outside of its inner circle, so to say. This JP_Pub theme works well with the following extensions: CBuilder, Kunena Forums, EventList, and many more you may find on extensions.joomla.org.

The GNU/GPL covering the Joomla! core and related coding we've been inserting in jp_pub by Joomla!People.
