Blankdear listers, hello. I have been experimenting with the i18n module to creat a multi lingual site, and so far I have been able to translate nodes as expected. however, I need help with how to get the 'language dependent variables' to work. I know I should be modifying the config file, but where is that file? anybody who ever done this please help me out. I want in the end to have different site title, mission statement, footer, menu, etc. for each language. any help will be highly appreciated. regards, Mohammed Al-Shar'

hello Mohammed,
I had the same question as you're having.. the way I do it now is by putting the strings (words, or pieces of text) I want to translate between t(). afterwards you can look for your string in the locales admin and translate each string for each language. to call the string in, let's say, a menu, you can use a <?php echo t(...) ?>
dunno if the echo is the cleanest way to do it, but it works fine for me.

Hi,
the config file is the one in sites/default/settings.php There you must add the name of the variables you want to translate. For example mission. When you then visit the place where you edit the mission, you can edit it for each language by activating that language and then editing that mission.
