Localization in tx_news extension TYPO3 6

0
votes

I'm using News System Extension 2.1 for my website. My TYPO3 version is 6.1.

The language key taken by tx_news is default, I would like to change the key to dk or nl or something. I changed the local language of TYPO3 using this:

config.locale_all = nl_NL

This solves the problem while displaying List of news, but when I try to display a Date Menu, it takes the default to English.

Maybe because the ViewHelpers I used for displaying List is default FLUID and the ViewHelpers used for displaying Date Menu are something else(They use translate key. Default View which comes with tx_news)

How do I change the language of tx_news to the language I desired to?

config.locale_all is basically used to change format of dates (more info on http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/Setup/Config/Index.html)

In order to get localized labels, you need:

  1. To download localization packages in Backend using the Language module
  2. To set up your website with the language you want, using config.language (and possibly config.sys_language_uid if your website is going to be multilingual, then you would have to create sys_language records at root as well)

Please have a look at the frontend localization guide:
