I am interested in translating the category names and its description. Given that it cannot be translated through the default method, Any ideas on how I could do that?

Let's say...
In the case of the category list on the left sidebar, where the category names are brought in the loop, if I added " _lang("") ", around the category name, inside the loop. Would that give me translatable categories?

What are your thoughts on that?

Hi! Yes.  http://www.phprevolution.com/forum/troubleshooting-issues/translating-categories-'channels'/msg16923/#msg16923

Thanks again..

Hey Alexander, what about translating the category description. Where would I edit to achieve the same results?

[PHPVibe A.]

This is what you're looking for

Code Select Expand

<h1>'._html($channel->cat_name).'</h1>
'._html($channel->cat_desc).'

in tpl/main/channel.php

What's the difference between:

Code Select Expand

. _html() .

and

Code Select Expand

._lang("").

When do you use one and when do you use the other?

[Rafa]

My apologies for the question above. It is clear to me what _lang("") does..
What I meant to ask was only about the

Code Select Expand

. _html() .

What is its purpose?

Hi,
lib/functions.html.php has a few of this functions.

Code Select Expand

function _html($txt){
return stripslashes(html_entity_decode($txt, ENT_QUOTES));
}

It decodes html characters as explained here http://www.php.net//manual/en/function.html-entity-decode.php and strips the slashes from db escaping http://us2.php.net//manual/en/function.stripslashes.php
