Utilities: Administration: Server: Internationalization and Localization: Translations: Keys

The Translations section contains settings and features related to the translation of the web interface.

The Keys section has a listing of all strings displayed in the web interface. A "string" is a sequence of characters that make up a word or sentence in the context of a programming language. It also keeps track of what images are being used by the web interface. This page is generally only useful if you want to remove an obsolete string from the database.

Creating New Keys

Click the create new key button to create new keys. When a new translated string is added to the web interface, a Key for that string must be added to the database. In general, this key is the string itself. The exceptions are strings longer than 255 characters, which are referenced by a tag instead of the original string. Strings is generally of the type "text." Images also exist as translation keys of different types but these are used only for tracking the translated images and are not individually translated.

Only "text" type keys have translations. If the key is an image, you may specify the image path.
