How do I protect qa-lang mapping during update?

Question

The language mapping files are one of the coolest things in Q2A IMO .. very useful for customizing sites in niche applications... 

Is it possible to move the qa-lang arrays to our custom theme folder and use them like our qa-theme.php?  .. otherwise the lang mappings are blown away every time we update ( I think).

in our case we need to protect:

• qa-lang-main.php
• qa-lang-question.php
• qa-lang-users.php
• qa-lang-options.php

Answer 1

Just move them in qa-lang folder. All qa-lang-*.php files should be moved in qa-lang folder.

Comments

Makes sense.. will do !   (  but I'm guessing that some of the lang mappings change during a major version up level..  I wonder if there is some way to make those changes explicit .. ie comment them... just a thought... )  thnks..

You can check for not translated translations by visiting /qa-include/qa-check-lang.php (like here http://www.question2answer.org/qa/qa-include/qa-check-lang.php). It even gives whole lines to translate.
