====== Languages  ======

GetSimple supports different languages for the admin panel. [[http://get-simple.info/extend/all_languages.php|Download the latest language files]] for GetSimple from Extend.

Once you've downloaded the language file of your choosing, save it to the ''/admin/lang/'' folder of your new installation of GetSimple. If you've already gone through the setup of GetSimple, you can change your language preference within your **Settings** tab.

Hint: As AccessKeys differ in different languages, you can define the AccessKeys which fit best for your language in the language-file. Search for the  section //For: include-nav.php// in the language-file and wrap a single letter in ''<em></em>'' code there to define that letter als AccessKey for that function.
Example: ''<em>S</em>'' defines //**s**// as AccessKey for the Page-Menu in the german version.

===== Creating a New Language File =====

  - [[http://get-simple-cms.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/admin/lang/en_US.php|Download the latest en_US from our SVN]]
  - Change the header information and filename to match the language you are translating
  - Translate the text 
  - Save the new file **UTF8 Without BOM**. 
    * If you get an error saying "Headers already sent", it is probably because you did not save the file in this format.

For plugins conforming to the guidelines and GetSimple itself: you may use the [[http://get-simple.info/extend/plugin/translate/112/|Translate plugin]] - more information see [[lang:translate|Translation Tools]].

===== Slug Transliteration =====

GetSimple also provides a way to convert international characters in the page's 'slug' attribute. By default, we strip out all non-English characters to create the page's 'slug'. You can create your own transliteration array named 'TRANSLITERATION' within the specific language file.

===== Plugin Language Files =====

There are functions and standards to internationalize (i18n) plugins. [[plugins:i18n|Check them out here.]]

===== CKEditor Language Files =====

[[how_to:editor_configuration_languageconfiguration|CKEditor]] also supports languages. 

===== Language File Problems =====
If you see certain language strings that look like **{LOREM_IPSUM}**, then these are untranslated strings within your current language file. Either compare your file with the latest GetSimple ''/admin/lang/en_US.php'' file or add the string to your current translation.
