Hi,

Hello Martijn

Is it possible to add localization files (i.e., files like en_US.inc etc.) to a skin? I know how to add these language files to a plugin but I was wondering whether this is supported by a skin as well?

Localization files are directly supported in skins but there's a hidden and undocumented features that lets you defined multi-lingual labels inside skin templates. Use the <roundcube:label ... /> tag [1] for this and add translations by settings attributes with language codes like this:

<roundcube:label name="my.custom.label" en_US="My Label" de_DE="Mein Text" nl_NL="..." />

Together with the (also undocumented) attribute noshow="true", you can even load your custom texts from an include file in your skin folder (e.g. texts.html):

<roundcube:label name="my.custom.label" en_US="My Label" ... nowhow="true" />

and later use them with their name and in the actual template:

<roundcube:include file="texts.html" /> <roundcube:label name="my.custom.label" />

Note to myself: add this to the skin markup documentation.

Best, Thomas
