Creating a New Translation

Main Translation

Please follow the these instructions to translate Sweet Tooth into your language.

1. Check here to see if your locale is available. If so, proceed to step 6 with the obtained file.
2. Download and install the Magento community pack for your locale from Magento Connect. (like this Simplified Chinese pack or enable your own translation of all the 'normal' Magento functionality.
3. Assuming a translation does not exist for your language, copy the en_US translation file from the app/locale/en_US/TBT_Rewards.csv
4. The format of the file is like this: “Phrase in English”,”Phrase in Your Language”.

   Note: If you don't use this format the system will not recognize the translation.

5. To translate to your language, change the second instance of the English translation to the equivalent word or phrase in your language (after the comma).

   DO NOT use Microsoft Excel or any other spreadsheet application unless you are sure it's going to properly format the file. You should use a plain text editor instead.

6. Rename the file to “TBT_Rewards.csv” if you need to.
7. Place the file in the app/locale/[YOUR_LANGUAGE_CODE]/ folder.
8. Clear your cache.

Translating Elements By Store View

In the back-end go to "System -> Configuration -> Sweet Tooth -> Transfer Comments", select the store view that is in your language and translate each message that you think you will use. In Sweet Tooth 1.3 you can also specify your own message per store view in the customer account "My Points and Rewards" page.

Store E-mails

For points expiry e-mails the default is app/locale/en_US/email/template/rewards/expiry_notice.html. You can translate this file into your own language and place it in app/locale/[YOUR_LANGUAGE_CODE]/email/template/rewards/expiry_notice.html. Alternatively, you can use the Magento Sweet Tooth configuration and Transaction E-mails utility to define your own, then set the value in the back-end configuration for Sweet Tooth as your own template for each of your store views.
