Language Files

Control Panel Location: Developer ‣ Utilities ‣ CP Translate

This Translation Utility page of the Control Panel allows you to translate the core language files into other languages.

When you use this utility it will create a copy of any file you have translated and put it into the following folder: system/user/language

In order to be able to create translation files, the system/user/language folder must be writable. See File Permissions for details.

The main Translation Utility screen shows a list of all the language files currently installed.
