Every time that you post a problem, PLEASE add the Joomla and the extension's versions and revisions (for example: Joomla 3.3.6, Contact Enhanced 3.3.5), PHP version and Server's Operating System. If you only manage only one site it is easier if you edit your profile and just add that information to your signature. Don't forget to add a detailed description of the problem. If possible, write down all steps to simulate the problem.
Before submitting a new post, PLEASE make sure you are running the latest version, test in different browsers (IE, FF, Chrome,..) and clear Joomla and browser's cache after every change you make.
Also, most questions are already answered in our FAQ and in iFAQ and Contact Enhanced documentation pages.
× Contact Enhanced is a contact component manager created to replace Joomla! core contacts component and add lots of advantages and new features (see
Features
) and it offers many plugins and modules for several different purposes,

Where to find the ALIAS for translation of custom fields?
14 years 10 months ago - 14 years 10 months ago #327 by micu
Hello,
I would like to translate my custom fields in Contact Enhanced into different languages.
I have just read the instructions how to "translate any Joomla component", but I have a bit of a problem locating the "ALIAS" strings for the custom fields.
I don't have any experience in programming, so if there is some sort of template ini-file I could use, it would be perfect.
I'd be grateful for any help!
Thank you.

Hello Douglas,
I have a custom field with a Selectlist, so not only the name, but also the values need to be translated.
The name of the field is "How did you find my site?" and one value is "Someone referred me here".
For the text to change in this example, do I copy the file "en-GB.com_contact_enhanced.ini" and add the lines:
HOW DID YOU FIND MY SITE=Translation for that
and
SOMEONE REFERRED ME HERE=Translation for that
and then save the file with a different name (for example "sv-SE.com_contact_enhanced.ini"), in the [Joomla]/language/sv-SE/ directory?
I tried this without luck, so I am doing something wrong.
I also tried to create a new directory named sv-SE in /components/com_contact_enhanced/language/ where I saved the file, but no success.
(I do have a sv-SE core language pack.)
