# LANGUAGE - PLEASE READ
==================================

The .php files in the 'language/' directory are languages files for this software.
Edit them to suit your own preferences. If you don't understand them, please check to see if there is an
available language file on the software website.

It is recommended you edit these files in a good text editor. Notepad is fine as are the editors below.
Microsoft Word and other word processors are NOT recommended.

DO NOT edit the lang variable names in any way and be careful NOT to remove any of the apostrophes (')
that contain the variable info. This will cause the script to malfunction. Also, the language vars are arrays
enclosed in [] brackets, do NOT remove or change these.


# BACKUP
==================================

It is recommended you backup the language files so you can revert to the defaults if you cause an error
you can't fix. Or download the software again and replace the default files.


# USING APOSTROPHES IN VARIABLES
==================================

If you need to use an apostrophe, escape it with a backslash. eg: d\'apostrophe.


# AMPERSANDS (&)
==================================

So that ampersands don't break the validation, the corresponding character entity should be used. Example:

tea & coffee (WRONG)
tea &amp; coffee (CORRECT)


# I TAGS
==================================

i tags and other html tags should not be changed or renamed. eg: <i class="fa fa-exclamation fa-fw"></i>


# SYSTEM VARIABLES
==================================

Text between braces are system variables or Latte template variables. eg: {count} etc

The system will not fail if you accidentally delete these, but some language and / or data may not display correctly.


# ADMIN VARIABLES
==================================

Language files in the 'language/admin/' folder OR admin.php file relate to admin operations ONLY.


# EMAIL TEMPLATES
==================================

The email txt templates are located in the 'email-templates/' sub directory.

Admin operation email templates are located in the 'admin/email-templates/' sub directory or the same directory.

Again, do NOT remove any system variables between braces. eg: {NAME}


# WHITESPACE
==================================

When you edit any of the language files, make sure there is NO whitespace after the closing ?> tag.
This may cause the language and the system to fail.


# TEXT EDITORS
==================================

There are some excellent free text editors around. Examples:
