Customize translations

Linguist by FriendsOfFlarum

, _(*1)

With this extension you can configure alternate or missing translation strings for your forum. Includes:, _(*2)

• No manual translation file editing required, everything is configured via the admin UI
• Translate frontend or backend strings
• Override the translation for a specific locale or all installed locales
• Easily search for strings by name or value in any language
• Multiple filters to find strings that are missing translations or belong to a specific extension

After editing translations, Linguist will offer you the opportunity to clear the forum cache. For performance reasons, Linguist won't attempt to clear the cache by itself., _(*3)

If the new translations don't show up, try clearing the cache again by using Dashboard > Tools > Clear cache or by running php flarum cache:clear., _(*4)

Also note Flarum uses a "one place, one translation key" approach to translations, so you might have to edit several keys to replace a specific keyword., _(*5)
