Hans Melis	Monday 08 September 2003 5:46:09 am Hi all, I'm working on an extension that adds a datatype to ezp. I noticed that the standard datatypes have certain strings marked for translation, but I'm not sure how to do that in an extension. For templates, there is the x18n operator (pre-3.1), and the regular i18n from 3.2 onwards. But the strings I want to mark are inside the PHP code of the datatype. The default datatypes have something like this in their constructor: ezi18n( 'kernel/classes/datatypes', "ISBN", 'Datatype name' ) How do you use that in an extension datatype? I would guess like this: ezi18n( 'extension/<extension_name>/datatypes', 'MyDatatype', 'Datatype name' ) -- Hans Hans http://blog.hansmelis.be

Hi all,

I'm working on an extension that adds a datatype to ezp. I noticed that the standard datatypes have certain strings marked for translation, but I'm not sure how to do that in an extension.

For templates, there is the x18n operator (pre-3.1), and the regular i18n from 3.2 onwards. But the strings I want to mark are inside the PHP code of the datatype.

The default datatypes have something like this in their constructor:
ezi18n( 'kernel/classes/datatypes', "ISBN", 'Datatype name' )

How do you use that in an extension datatype? I would guess like this:
ezi18n( 'extension/<extension_name>/datatypes', 'MyDatatype', 'Datatype name' )
