Joomfish & Custom Fields Contents

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.2.2
-- Joomla version -- : 2.5

Hello,
I'm using Hikashop & Joomfish to manage products and translations.

I have many custom field, and I've easy translated the custom field label name, but now I need to translate the contents of these custom fields, for example:

Italian:

DIMENSIONI: 12x12x12 cm
TECNICA: Acrilico

English

DIMENSIONS: 7x7x7 inch
TECHNIQUE: Acrylic

what I need to do to manage custom fields translations?
thanks
Giorgio

Hi,

For the label of the fields, you can go in JoomFish and translate the field via the the Joomfish interface.
For the values, instead of entering the value, enter a translation key like ACRYLIC and then add that translation key in the override of your translation files via the Languages of the configuration like that:
ACRYLIC="Acrilico"

The system will then replace the value with the translation automatically.

Hello,
I've done the translations in the ovveride of languages file,
for example:
BRONZO=“bronze”
FERRO=“iron”
CUOIO=“leather”

but this english page, don't show the correct translation, as you can see in "technique" custom field.

Please do a screenshot of your field's options and of your override translation file.

Thanks, here you can find screenshot
PS, you have user and password to enter, with a PM of some days ago..
thanks!

Please do a screenshot of your field's options (when you edit it);

We don't keep track of the accesses that you provide us between different threads.

Here the screenshot.
I will send now you with a PM user and password,

thanks Nicolas

There are no values in your custom field. You need to use one of these custom fields type if you want that to work:
single dropdown, multiple dropdown, radio buttons, checkboxes.

And If I need a simple text field? I have a various type of data inside of it, so I can't use single or multiple drop down, and also radio anche checkboxes..

Is very important translate these fields for me, I can change type of flelds, bit I need to enter custom text in every different product..
any other solution?

Then you would have to edit the contentelement file for the table hikashop_product in JoomFish's contentelements folder and add a line of XML code for your custom field so that you can translate it via JoomFish. But I don't see the point really. Adding the text in the custom field and then in the translation override and selecting the value in the product, or adding it in the product text field and then translating it in JoomFish, it will take you as much time regardless of the approach...

Now I try to explain to you better my problem:
I have already many products composed correctly in italian.
For example the field Technique, have many various type of data inside it.
I want to automatic traslate the single words that compose this.
For example, if in italian the text is "Bronzo, Ferro, Cuoio", tha automatic translation need to be "Bronze, Iron, Leather".
IF the next product technique is for example "Bronzo" or only "Cuoio" I have automatic translated with "Bronzo" or only "Leather".
With drop down field I need to manage too many type:

-Bronzo Ferro Cuoio
-Bronzo Ferro
-Bronzo
-Ferro Cuoio
-Cuoio
-Ferro Bronzo
etc etc etc

Imagine this for many products!! Is impossible think about this.

Another way is doing the translation in traditional mode using Joomfish for every products, but is impossible to manage the translations of the custom fields contents.
I've already pay for a professional translator that have make for me a table, with all the possibly words used to describe technique, now I need only to apply it.. I have hoped to do that as you first reply of this post..

I hope to have explained better to you my actual problem, do you have a genial solution now?
or maybe Can you please explain me better the XML Solution?

The solution is the XML solution.
Simply add the line in the contentelements xml file of the hikashop_product table in JoomFish.
There is nothing complex about it. You can do that in JoomFish's interface.

Please excuse me, but I can't understand where exactly I can add the xml line in Joomfish's interface.
Can you please, make me a little example?
thanks
Giorgio

ok done that, adding trough ftp a line type:

<field type="text" name="tecnica" length="255" maxlength="255" translate="1">Tecnica</field>

in the file hikashop_product.xml, stored in administrator/components/com_joomfish/contentelements/

Thank you

Giorgio
