Translate Taxi Booking into different languages:
It is easy to translate Limo Booking into different languages (we have no copies translated in other languages as we constantly add new features and more language strings that need to be translated in newer versions, the ones that you have already translated will stay intact).
Here is a guide how to translate Limo Booking into French:
Log in to your server via FTP and find /language/en-GB/en-GB.com_limobooking.ini file.
Download it to your hard disk and double click on it to open it.
You will see a text strings structured like this: SOME_TEXT="Some text", the text between " " is the text that you need to translate in your new language.
Before you start translating please save the file with a new name, that corresponds your language eg. fr-FR.com_limobooking.ini for French. Please make user that you save the file in UTF-8 encoding to properly display special characters: an example using ordinary Notepad program on Windows that opens .ini files by default - when you click on File > Save as, choose Save as > All files so you don't change the file extension from .ini to .txt, in the bottom right corner of the window you will see Encoding: ANSI (by default), click on the ANSI drop down and select UTF-8 there, click on Save and now you will have your French file ready to be translated.
Now double click on your newly created file to open it in the text editor again.
Translate all strings between " " and save the file.
Then log on to your server via your favorite FTP program and upload your newly created French file to /language/fr-FR/ folder so you are able to see /language/fr-FR/fr-FR.com_limobooking.ini file.
Follow the same procedure for Limo Booking's module with file en-GB.mod_limobooking.ini
To translate administration back end Limo booking file you can do the same but admin language files are located in /admin/language/en-GB/ folder of your website.
