Language & Text

The charset for Maian Greetings is generally utf-8. If you need to change it do so in the following file:

content/language/english/global.php

If your language requires rtl instead of ltr, edit the option in the following:

content/language/english/global.php

Apart from the e-mail templates, ALL language is found in the language files:

content/language/english/*.php

Use a good text editor to edit. Notepad should be fine. BEFORE editing any of the language files read the notes in the following file:

content/language/readme.md

All the language in the e-mails is in the e-mail template txt files:

content/language/english/email-templates/*.txt

By default emails are sent in plain text and HTML formatted emails. To edit the HTML wrapper, edit the following file:

content/language/english/email-templates/html-wrapper.html

You can create custom HTML tags if you want to. These are ignored for the plain text version, but will be parsed in the HTML version. You should add rules and classes to make this function. Here is how this works:

1 Add parsing tags to the 'control/html-mail-tags.php' file. [B] and [I] (bold and italic) are available already so you can see how it works.

2 Add corresponding classes to the 'content/language/english/email-templates/html-wrapper.html' HTML wrapper file.

3 Add tags to the email template files (content/language/english/email-templates/). See the [B] tags in some files as an example.

That's all. You can add as many as you need.

If you don't want to remove or edit the existing language files, but need to translate the files into another language, makes a copy of the following folder and rename:

content/language/english/

Then in the settings, update the language to point to the new folder you have created.

Available language packs can be found on the Maian Greetings website. If you would like to send me a language pack, please email us here.
