hi there,

is it possible to translate the filters headlines and the labels of the filter elements?

I tried with a label (for example TRANSLATE_TEST) in a custom field and wrote a language overrride for it  but it didnt show the translation in the filter module. (it just showed  "TRANSLATE_TEST" instead of my translation). Same for the headlines in the filter itself (there i only could change the title, so i guess it can't be translated by override). It would be really cool, if the filters could be translated to build a multilinngual website.

Hi Sakis,

thank you for your fast reply. The first problem is solved (in the backend I just see the language string as JFilters title, but that is ok, the customer wont see that :-) )

I only use checkboxes at the moment. it must be line 100 from _dummy_elements.php

htmlspecialchars ($option->getLabel());

right?

can you tell me how to modify it, so the language string from the label will be taken?

regards Sascha

Thank you very much, i did that but i got an error so i added at the top:

use Joomla\CMS\Language\Text;

and it works

Is that the right way to do it, or is your way better/safer?

you confused me with the other way :-)

will this be a feature for the future?

It really is nice if you build a catalogue of items and don't want have different articles for each language.
