Get the en_US.properties file ( WEB-INF/config/languages ) and translate the keys. I suggest you to get the latest version from CVS in the following link:

https://jforum.dev.java.net/source/browse/jforum/WEB-INF/config/languages/

There, click in the link which has the revision number ( "Rev" column ) of the file "en_US.properties". This will be the latest version.

Can we have a prefix before language setting, like jforum_en_US.properties, jforum_zh_TW.properties?
I'm currently use Zaval JRC Editor to do Chinese Traditonal translating. I have to add a jforum perfix before I use Zaval JRC Editor to load both of them together. And after uploading to my server, I have to change back the filename to no-prefix version.
I think it's no harm to the current architecture. Just change the code for fetching the language file.

Well, you don't need to rename the files every time. You can keep them as jforum_xxxx.properties as long you also update the file "locales.properties". That's all that need to be done.

Great...it works :lol: . Just copy back the locales.properties and no need for reloading the webapp. I'll speed up my translation now .

i haven't found italian translation so i'm trying to write one.
I put it_IT.properties file under JForum-2.1.4\WEB-INF\config\languages
dir and updated local.properties file. After restarting tomcat no changes were made.

can you explaining me why?

I'll send you the file when will be finished.

What do you mean by "no changes were made"?

To use it_IT as default language, change the key "i18n.board.default" in SystemGlobals.properties

I tried but with the same result

i've done these steps:

created a file named it_IT.properties (and filled it with italian translation of course...)
put it into JForum-2.1.4\WEB-INF\config\languages
added the entry it_IT = it_IT.properties into local.properties and
changed the key "i18n.board.default" in SystemGlobals.properties as you suggested.

finally i restarted tomcat but the language remains english. what' s wrong?

thanx
