DEPRECATION WARNING

This documentation is not using the current rendering mechanism and is probably outdated. The extension maintainer should switch to the new system. Details on how to use the rendering mechanism can be found here.

Language Override¶

Use this loader to create “locallangXMLOverride” configurations for language files. Recreate the same folder structure of the extension whose language files you want to override within Resources/Private/Language/Overrides. The first level is the extension name (UpperCamelCase). For XLIFF files language prefixes like de.locallang_mod.xlf are supported to register overrides for translations.

For example to override EXT:foo_bar/mod1/locallang_mod.xlf just create the file Resources/Private/Language/Overrides/FooBar/mod1/locallang_mod.xlf and fill it with language entries. To override EXT:foo_bar/mod1/de.locallang_mod.xlf create Resources/Private/Language/Overrides/FooBar/mod1/de.locallang_mod.xlf.

Even if an extension follows the usual Resources/Private/Language structure, you still have to recreate that structure within Resources/Private/Language/Overrides, e.g. Resources/Private/Language/Overrides/BazQux/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf.

Internally the following kind of configuration will be generated:

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['locallangXMLOverride']['default']['EXT:baz_qux/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf'][] = 'EXT:my_ext/Resources/Private/Language/Overrides/BazQux/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['locallangXMLOverride']['de']['EXT:baz_qux/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf'][] = 'EXT:my_ext/Resources/Private/Language/Overrides/BazQux/Resources/Private/Language/de.locallang.xlf';
