Page Builder CK (since version 2.5.0) has an integrated feature that allows you to use translatable strings everywhere in the component content (article, page, module ...). This method is useful when you need to have a single form or content structure in backend and allows the text to be multilanguage in frontend. The best example for this, is the contact form addon :

  • you can have only 1 contact form
  • set the texts using CKTEXT in the backend
  • add your translation in the joomla language component
  • have your contact form automatically translated in frontend

 

How to add a translatble string

In the following example we will use the Contact Form addon from Page Builder CK. Set up a field and write the label like this

CKTEXT[CUST_REFERENCE]

CKTEXT[ ] is the container of your translatable string. You must write a string in the bracket, this string will be use in the language definition

CUST_REFERENCE is the string that you will use in the language definition. This is a string that you define, it can be anything (uppercase, no space, no special characters)

Add the translations for your string

In the example, your string is : CUST_REFERENCE

Go in your joomla Admin >> Extensions >> Languages >> Overrides, this will open an interface where you can tell to joomla which string to translate and give the translations for each language installed.

Click on the New button to add a new language override (you must select a language, example English - Site). Write the string and the translation in the fields
