Selecting another language.
Acorn Aid can support multiple languages. Multiple languages can be selected when logged into the admin portal and a default language can be selected in Settings > General.
To change the text within Acorn Aid you can follow the proceedure below to use another language.
- Copy english.php file in the language folder
- Paste the copied file into the language folder
- Rename the copied file to your desired language. E.g. Francais
- Open your new file.
- Replace the text between the quotes on the right hand side after the equals sign. Do not change the text on the left.
- Example $lang['variable'] = 'Change this text';
- If you use a single or double quote within your text you must escape the quote by using a backslash.
- Example $lang['variable'] = 'They\'re single quotes';
- Save changes to the file.
- Upload your file to your domain.
Your langauge file will now appear in the drop down menu on the admin log on and can be selected as a default language for users in the Settings > General page.
Please share your created language files with Acorn Aid to help us grow.
