Go to Panel, choose Content and press Translations from the left sidebar.
Find locale, you are currently using, on the list of available language files (the one with grey badge Active) and hit EDIT. Find the phrase that you want to change – probably it will be easiest by using the search tool in your browser (Ctrl + F).
Type new text in the right column next to the phrase you want to replace. Hit Save (blue button on the right of the field you just updated) to see the changes immediately or continue editing other fields and click Save (all) at the top or at the bottom of the page when finished. Changes done!

How to Translate Open Classifieds
If you would like to translate Open Classifieds to another language, please feel free to contact us and we would definitely like it if you send us any updated/new version of a translation.
How to translate:
- Open your Open Classifieds folder: Languages
- Create a copy of one of the existing translation files
- Rename the new file to the language you want to translate to e.g. nl_NL (according to the list of all locales)
- Open yourdomain.com/oc-panel/translations/index
- Pick the language that you created (as shown in the picture below) and press on EDIT
- Fill the translation boxes with the new text
- Save
- Send us the file after everything is done (would help us a lot)
How to add new texts to translations
Whenever we have a new release we might add some new features which could add new texts to the software that needs to be translated. If you can’t see those texts in the translation list you can simply follow those steps:
- Go to admin panel
- Go to Content > Translations
- Click on “Scan”
Troubleshooting:
- Be sure your hosting has the locales (you can check in unix with command locale -a) if not, the site will not use the language you choose.
- You need the .mo file, this is the one that really matters to the system.
- You might need to change the HTML charset or the collation for your DB depending on your locale.
- Check the permissions for the files .po .mo the should have 755.
- For more help please ask in the forum.
