Support Forum

Came across this one while searching for localization of the plupload form.

I did not experience the 'revert back to en' effect, but when I chose 'de' for my case, two buttons left unchanged in English.

Googling the net, I came across this article on the the plupload forum where they show how to change language by code snippet in header. Did it, and guess what - it has the same small problem.

Finally I found that they have a typo in their example: 'Add files' should be 'Add Files' and 'Start upload' should be 'Start Upload'.

With that, it is now perfect - permanently!

Maybe, you could change it in the plugin, too.

<script type="text/javascript">
plupload.addI18n({
        'Select files' : 'in your language here',
        'Add files to the upload queue and click the start button.' : 'in your language here',
        'Filename' : 'in your language here',
        'Status' : 'in your language here',
        'Size' : 'in your language here',
        'Add files' : 'in your language here',
    'Start upload':'in your language here',
        'Stop current upload' : 'in your language here',
        'Start uploading queue' : 'in your language here',
        'Drag files here.' : 'in your language here'
});
</script>

In this example code above, I changed the red marked letters to capitals - now reading 'Add Files' and 'Start Upload'.

That fixed it and the button's text is now translated.

for German it looks now like that:

<script type="text/javascript">
plupload.addI18n({
        'Select files' : 'Dateien auswählen',
        'Add files to the upload queue and click the start button.' : 'Dateien der Upload-Auswahl hinzufügen und den Start Button klicken',
        'Filename' : 'Dateiname',
        'Status' : 'Status',
        'Size' : 'Grösse',
        'Add Files' : 'Dateien hinzufügen',
    'Start Upload':'Starte Hochladen',
        'Stop current upload' : 'Aktuelles Hochladen anhalten',
        'Start uploading queue' : 'Starte Upload-Auswahl',
        'Drag files here.' : 'Dateien hierhin ziehen.'
});
</script>
