Hi Stella,

I found some duplicates of the issue I have with translating strings like "View Image Details", "Image x of y", ...

I did:

1. Translated the strings via admin/build/translate/search, I can remember I always did it like this the last years

2. Read your documentation at http://drupal.org/node/389930, enabled i18n and added :

$conf['i18n_variables'] = array(
  'site_name',
  'site_slogan',
  'site_mission',
  'site_footer',
  'anonymous',
  'menu_primary_menu',
  'menu_secondary_menu',
  // Lightbox2 Module
// the text to display as the link to the image details page (e.g. "View Image Details")
'lightbox2_node_link_text',
// the text that will appear as the link to the original file underneath the image in the lightbox (e.g. "Download image")
'lightbox2_download_link_text',
// image count text (e.g. "Image !current of !total")
'lightbox2_image_count_str',
// page count text (e.g. "Page !current of !total")
'lightbox2_page_count_str',
// video count text (e.g. "Video !current of !total")
'lightbox2_video_count_str',
);

to my settings.php file

3. Went back to the site, hit the themes page, cleared caches, but no result

4. Submitted the translation I had again at admin/build/translate/search and than cleared cache for the second time

5. Still no result.

What am I doing wrong?

And what a procedure to get some texts to be translated :)

I can remember this always worked fine for me on previous versions of LB2.

Thank you .. Bye,

You're looking in the wrong place to translate the variables - see http://drupal.org/node/134002 for more details. Basically after adding the above to your settings.php file, you should just need to go back to the lb2 configuration page (admin/settings/lightbox2) and you should see the text 'This is a multilingual variable' beside the fields in question. Fill out the text in your current language and save. Then switch your language and edit the text again.

This isn't overly user-friendly, but it's the correct way to translate user inputted strings for now. It's not something that is lightbox2 specific.

Cheers,
Stella

Is this going to be changed to common Drupal translation logic via strings?
