How to translate the cookie alert
The plugin Cookies CK has been designed multilanguage, this means that you can translate it like you want in any language, but also change the message that is displayed.
How to create my own language
First thing that you can check is the list of available existing translations : See all translations for Cookies CK
Then you can create your own language in the path
[root]/administrator/language
For each language you must have a folder here. Example : en-GB for english, fr-FR for french, de-De for german ...
You can paste the .ini files, or create your own files by copying the en-GB files
en-GB.plg_system_cookiesck.ini
en-GB.plg_system_cookiesck.sys.ini
into your own language (example with german) to put in the correct language folder
de-DE.plg_system_cookiesck.ini
de-DE.plg_system_cookiesck.sys.ini
The full path of your files in this example will be
[root]/administrator/language/de-DE/de-DE.plg_system_cookiesck.ini
Override the existing language
Joomla! has a language override system included in the core. Go in your admin >> Extensions >> Language >> Overrides
Then click on the New button to create your override. Here you must set 2 things :
- the initial language string to override. You will find all strings in the language files (see above for location)
- the new translated message
In the plugin Cookies CK, the message that is shown in the bar is rendered using the string COOKIESCK_INFO
