To translate YACS you have to edit every PHP script that displays something.

You will find snippets like the following one:

// the title of the page
$local['title_en'] = 'All servers';
$local['title_fr'] = 'Tous les serveurs';
$context['page_title'] = get_local('title');

To add a new language, for example Chinese, you will have to use the 2-letter ISO code like this:

// the title of the page
$local['title_en'] = 'All servers';
$local['title_fr'] = 'Tous les serveurs';
$local['title_zh'] = '* the string in Chinese *';
$context['page_title'] = get_local('title');

The advantage of this approach is that translation can be progressive.

Then I will have to add the ability to select zh as the general language for a site in the Control Panel, but his is very easy compared to the translation itself.

I am very excited about the idea of translating YACS, so do not hesitate to ask for more.

Thank you for your interest into YACS.
