Can you tell me where and how I can translate username, password and other words and phrases?
Changing language files doesn't work (as is used to in other paid components).

The language file is where the fields should be changed. However, we don't have every language included, so if you're not using english, german or one of the other few languages we do include, you'll need to copy an existing language file to your selected language file directory and change it there. If Joomla can't find the langauge file for a component in the languages/<YOUR_LANGUAGE> directory, it will use the default values we've specified (username, password, etc).

Please let us know if this helps or you have any other questions.

Hi Alex,
I have edited /plugins/system/jfbcsystem.php and add $locale = "sr_RS";
Created language folder sr_RS with appropriate language files for JFBConnect and edited them.
Have I done something wrong?

That is correct. Are they in a component view, or a module? There are different language files for different parts of JFBConnect. You should have at least a sr_RS.com_jfbconnect.ini and a sr_RS.mod_jfbclogin.ini in that folder.

I have created sr_RS folder in /public_html/language and put there translated connect, invite and login ini files....that has been done few days ago.
What should I do in component view, or a module?
There are neither en-GB folder(s) nor english ini files?

JFBConnect contains language files for English, French, Hebrew, Chinese, and German. If you can't find them in your Joomla language directory, you should be able to find them in the JFBConnect component zip file.

If you'd like to test whether the strings you want to change can be in language files, simply go to Global Configuration and the System tab and enable Debug Language. This will put little dots around text that can be translated. I'm unsure why the languages aren't working for you out of the box, this is not a common issue, but if you'd like us to investigate further, feel free to PM us a super admin account for your site.

Thanks, and good luck

I have sent you what you need to know.
In the language files you will see that username is changed to serbian language words, but not in the module.

I just got into the admin area of your site, and looked at the sr-YU.mod_jfbclogin.ini file. In this file are the following strings:
USERNAME=Username
PASSWORD=Password

I didn't have permissions to change these files using extPlorer, which I installed (feel free to uninstall). However, if you update the strings in this file, it should allow for the translations that you're looking for.

Thanks!
