WHMCS Internationalization

This module was created to implement i18n functionality for any template variable (generally for product descriptions). This module takes any content from Smarty variables and allows you to translate it in dedicated section of your WHMCS control panel. You can use it to translate your Cart and Client area items.

The original idea to use Smarty template was taken from this thread: http://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?20219-MOD-Multilingual-Products-(in-fact-any-value-you-want)

Installation

Copy includes and modules folders to your WHMCS installation root folder and enable as a regular WHMCS module.

Usage

This module adds 2 smarty functions:

• i18n to translate single-line fields
• i18ndescr to translate multiline descriptions (like server configs for example)

First, you will have to find all Smarty variables which you would like to translate with abovementioned functions. For example, let's pretend you want to add multilingual support for $groupname and $product in this piece of code:

<p><h4>{$LANG.orderproduct}:</h4> {$groupname} - {$product} <span class="label {$rawstatus}">{$status}</span>{if $domain}<div><a href="http://{$domain}" target="_blank">{$domain}</a></div>{/if}</p>

You need to replace those vars to make it look like:

<p><h4>{$LANG.orderproduct}:</h4> {i18n default=$groupname lang=$language} - {i18n default=$product lang=$language} <span class="label {$rawstatus}">{$status}</span>{if $domain}<div><a href="http://{$domain}" target="_blank">{$domain}</a></div>{/if}</p>

So {$groupname} becomes {i18n default=$groupname lang=$language}. Some product descriptions come to variable in rendered way:

Cores: 1
RAM: 1GB
Disk: 20GB

You should use i18ndescr instead of i18n for this kind of fields (it will split the lines, extract key-value pairs and store them separately).

Translation

When the module is enabled you will see i18n menu item in your WHMCS control panel. It will allow you to enable/disable languages that you would like to use and translate the collected field values to those languages one by one.
