Translating labels

ggppdk wrote: about field label it will be taken as it is
e.g. if you write as field label:
File Download
the the name of language string will be "File Download"
if you write:
FLEXI_File_Download_02
the the name of language string will be "FLEXI_File_Download_02" so i am not sure that i understand the comment about "FLEXI_"

I thought, that every label would automatically get a specific language string starting with FLEXI_

ggppdk wrote: And of course there are language string without FLEXI_, you found the String with name "Download" in some other extension, right? ... because no language string with such name inside FLEXIcontent language file

No, the language string "Download" does not come from another component. It works like that:
If you create a field with the label "Download" you can just use "Download" in the in-built override function of Joomla under the language manager. The label automatically becomes a language string DOWNLOADS and can be translated. So far, so easy, so good. There are two disadvantages:
1. All field labels with label "Download" will be translated. Even if only one label is supposed to.
2. Labels with a blank cannot be translated because a language string must not contain strings.

Hello,
but why would do this ? you can very easily avoid the above problem.

I mean if using the label as something to be language translated
then you should enter a label: "Download"
instead you should enter: "FC_Download"

Thus prefix all you language strings with something relevant and unique

For the above to work , please enter 2 language overrides one for backend and one for frontend

I have updated the FAQ article with corrected information

You are right. And then create an override for every language!
Thanks!!!
