Re: Remove the "Q." and "A." from results

if you edit resource files from admin > language, a unique resx file will be created for that portal, containing only your changes. These will never be overwritten

Also, if you edit through host > language, if you select "host" instead of "system" for mode, you will create host specific translations that will also never be overwritten during upgrades...

Declic,

The language editor has 3 modes: system, admin and host. Admin is available from admin menu, both others from host menu.

System is for creating distributable language packs and modifies default resource files
Host is for adopting language files for all portals of the installation
Admin is for customizing language files for a single portal

Host and admin create additional resource files, that only contain modified entries and do not get overwritten during upgrades.

Cheers from Germany,

Re: Remove the "Q." and "A." from results

Sebastian and Erik,

Thank you very much for the very clear explanation. I have one core module (repository) not completely translated. I would like to finish the french translation, but I do not want it to be overwritten next time I upgrade the module. If I understand correctly, I have to do it under 'host' menu, choosing MODE = 'host'.

Next upgrade of the english module will not overwrite my modification, correct ?
And once the final translation is available, if I upload the language pack for repository, it will overwrite my work (this is what I want to have the latest official translation).

Could you please confirm that I have correctly understood ?

Declic,

If you use the language editor in "host" or "admin" mode, you get customizations, that do not get overwritten on installations of the module or any language pack
If you use the language editor in "system" mode, your modification of the "en-US" locale get overwritten, when an update of the module is installed. Your modifications of the "fr-FR" locale get overwritten, when a language pack is installed, that contains a translation of this module.

HTH
