Is it possible to change names of Extension Apps?

Help / Discuss
1

I have some extensions that work like apps.

Example:
Change Request
Review
Glossary
WorkFlow

All in English. I would like to translate the visible name of these apps, but when I try, it seems I break them.

I guess the page names are their identifiers. But is there a way to change menu name or visible name while leaving the identifier? The same way when building an AWM app, you can write field names, but the fields are found by their “database name”? (true name, whateveR)

Hello @rogerpenna,

First you can find the translations in https://l10n.xwiki.org/.
For some of the applications you mentioned (couldn’t find Review and WorkFlow):

If the language of you wiki isn’t listed, the application names are not translated. In this case, the default value is the English one.

From there you have two choices.

  1. You can translate the applications you are interested in https://l10n.xwiki.org/. But, this will require the release of the new version of the translated application with the new translation values. Once the new version released, you’ll need to perform the upgrade.
  2. The other option is to directly update the translation files in your wiki (but the community won’t benefit from your work). To do so, go to http://mydomain/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/TranslationDocumentClass and search for the translation file you want to update

The second option is a bit technical, feel free to ask for details.

Hope that helps.

Is it possible to translate only my Wiki (apps and pages that are still not translated) and if I am satisfied, THEN translate using that link for the community to benefit?

Even the main WIki has unstranslated parts
