Indroduction
This tutorial is part of the Developing a Model-View-Controller (MVC) Component for Joomla!1.6 tutorial. You are encouraged to read the previous parts of the tutorial before reading this.
Joomla!1.6 manages languages for components in four different situations:
- displaying a component in the public site
- managing a component in the backend
- managing menus in the backend
- installing a component (new in 1.6)
Joomla!1.6 uses two different location folder for languages:
- one in administrator/language or language
- one in the component folder (administrator/component/*component*/language or component/*component*/language)
It depends how the component is installed.
Packaging the component
