would it be possible for the About module to be compatible with the multilanguage module? I've tried to edit the page directly but can't find the correct code to create an if/then construction |

Here is how I did it.
1. edit about_block.html.php so it look like:
<?php defined("SYSPATH") or die("No direct script access.") ?> <?= t("YOUR text goes here.") ?> <?= module::get_var("about", "code"); ?>2. save.
3. Change to the non English language you want to change the text to. UK in my case.
4. start the translation module: admin -> Settings -> Languages. Clink the start translation mode button.
5. Navigate to where the block shows. In my case the root album. Verify you are editing the language you want (UK in my case)
6. On the left you should see text 'YOUR text goes here.' click it.
7. Click 'copy source text'
8. Edit the text that is in English to what you want. In my case I did: 'YOUR text goes here this is UK words '
9. Save translation.
See in action:

The "about' block is in the sidebar. Change the Language settings from English US to English UK and you will see the text change.
Similar to the About page you will have to edit that page as well.

I'm beginning to feel like a complete idiot... I really don't understand this, sorry
I'd been working on doing it like this:
but quite obviously it doesn't work or I wouldn't be tearing my hair out.. heh...
maybe I'll just skip the whole bi-lingual about page and just add google translate :p

I gave you steps to try did those not work?

I did exactly as you described but when I went to translation mode all I could translate was the actual name of the module, not the actual content of the page.
I know I must be doing something wrong but I'm trying to add a completely new system to the several languages in my head and it seems they're just not able to play nice :p

maybe a very bold question: if I give you the html I put in the admin of About, could you edit it for me so I might actually understand what's going on?
or maybe in a Teamviewer session, where I could see you do it? Maybe then I'll understand?

the translation trick works for several other things, like my edited credit line.
it's just this About text that's not showing. Could this be because it contains quite a bit of html?

Could be I never tired to add html to the t()function <?= t("YOUR text goes here.") ?>
I think it will accept <i> and <em> perhaps. Don't know never tired.
I think you might be getting confused.
The translation function will only work for text and #s in the t() function.
You can have multi t() functions in some page like:
<table border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td><?= t("This is some text") ?></td> <td><?= t("and some more") ?></td> <td><?= t("even more") ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td><?= t("next") ?></td> <td><?= t("column") ?></td> <td><?= t("has text") ?></td> </tr> </tbody> </table>Save that to the view file ( not the UI for the module ) and you should be able to translate the text.

ah, so basically this only works with text... I'm in trouble then, since it's not only the text that needs to change but also the images displayed.
for example
EN:
NL:
that's why I was hoping there'd be an "if locale==en_EN" function I could use

you're an absolute angel!!!
here's the EN code:
and the NL code:

<? $locale = Gallery_I18n::instance()->locale(); if ($locale == "en_US") { ?> Yankey
English content here.
<? } if ($locale == "en_GB") { ?>
Brit 
English content here.
<? } ?>Dave

and the best thing is: I actually (sort of) understand what's happening so I can use if to solve some other problems too :D
so, again, thank you so much for your help, you've made it to the credit page on my site ;)
