In Telligent Community 7.0, as part of localizing for this release, you must export the plugin resources, translate them, and reimport the translated resources.  

Changing the widget language will only work if the language pack you're choosing has been installed and enabled in the web\languages\languages.xml file for the site.

Export plugin resources

When exporting plugin resources, only language resources associated by currently-enabled plugins are included in the export file.
  1. Navigate to Control Panel Dashboard > System Administration > Site Administration > Site Configuration > Manage Plugins
  2. Click the Export Resources button on the lower left of the page.
  3. Telligent Community saves the widget-resources.xml file to your default download location.

Import plugin resources

Whenever plugin language resources are imported, the resources are merged with existing translations previously imported.  Only resources defined by plugins can be translated--new resources defined in import files that are not defined by their associated plugins will not be imported.

To import plugin resources:

  1. Navigate to Control Panel Dashboard > System Administration > Site Administration > Site Configuration > Manage Plugins
  2. Click the Import Resources button on the lower left of the page.
  3. The Import Resources modal should appear.  Click Browse to browse to the widget-resources.xml file that should be imported.
  4. Click Import Resources
"Resource" means a combination of both a resource name and a given language key. So, the same resource name for two different languages is considered to be two resources for purposes of merge conflicts.
