Installing a language pack
-
Download the language pack
Log in at lolkv.com/my-account/downloads and download the language pack ZIP for your language.
-
Install in Joomla
Go to System → Install → Extensions. Upload the language pack ZIP and click Upload & Install.
-
Set your site language
Ensure the corresponding Joomla language pack is installed and set as the default frontend language if needed (System → Manage → Languages).
Frontend UserManager fully supports Joomla's multilingual system. Install multiple language packs and Joomla will display the interface in the correct language based on the user's preference.
Language file structure
Each language has three .ini files:
| File | Location | Contains |
|---|---|---|
com_userfrontend.ini |
components/com_userfrontend/language/{tag}/ |
Frontend strings — user list, forms, buttons, messages, validation. |
com_userfrontend.ini |
administrator/components/com_userfrontend/language/{tag}/ |
Backend strings — configuration labels, settings descriptions. |
com_userfrontend.sys.ini |
administrator/components/com_userfrontend/language/{tag}/ |
System strings — menu item types, component description. |
