How can I use a translation?

Hi,

I’ve searched around the site, but could not find any help regarding this.

I’ve contributed to the Greek translation of the Piwik. How can I use the updated translation to my deployed Piwik installation?

Thanks,
Vasilis

If you contribute to a translation using http://translations.piwik.org/ all translations will be shipped with the next release of Piwik.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Obviously the translation will be included in the next Piwik version, but how can I use in my current production site the improvements and fixes in the translation? Isn’t there a way? I checked out the git repository, but instead of php files in the lang/ directory, there were json files. Is there a way to use those?

Thanks.

I’m sorry. But using the current translation files with piwik 1.12 won’t be possible.
We renamend and removed a couple keys that have been used in piwik 1.12.
Running a language file update in 1.X branch would result in losing those translations.

Understood. Thank you.
