# Back End

 /administrator/com\_payage/language/en-GB/en-GB.com\_payage.ini /administrator/com\_payage/language/en-GB/en-GB.com\_payage.sys.ini /administrator/com\_payage/language/fr-FR/fr-FR.com\_payage.ini /administrator/com\_payage/language/fr-FR/fr-FR.com\_payage.sys.ini ... For the supplied languages, Payage should automatically work in your local language. If your language is not supplied, you can create the language files for your local language and copy them to the correct folders on your site. Most of the texts are in the .ini file. The main menu texts are in the .sys.ini files. Make a copy of one of the existing language files to a new file of the correct name for your language, then translate the text on the right hand side of the = signs. For example: en-GB.com\_payage.ini COM\_PAYAGE\_NAME="Name" fr-FR.com\_payage.ini COM\_PAYAGE\_NAME="Nom" - Be careful to preserve any %s markers. They mark the place where variable values are inserted when the text is used. - Each translation must be in "double quotes". Do not use double quotes inside the text. - Please also refer to the note in the previous section about translating image file names. - Use a text editor to edit the file, not a word processor. For example Notepad++. - Save the file with UTF-8 encoding otherwise accented characters will not be displayed properly. When you copy the new file to the correct place on your website, it becomes active immediately. There is no need to reinstall the component.
