Translation

The translation is based on gettext and uses .po files, which can be found in /resources/lang/. You can use a local editor like Poedit or notepad++ to add or modify translations.

Currently, the following languages are already available:

• Dutch
• English
• German

If you want to translate custom tags, types, relationship descriptors, or roles in events, you can also add further translations to the code.

Example for translation of types etc.

You can add translation to a fact type in FactType.php with the following modification in the code:

• 'Military Service' => I18N::translate('Military Service'),

Afterwards, the translation has to be provided by a .po file, see above.
