Translate HTML module from Joomla

Question

I need to insert a language string inside a Custom HTML module on Joomla (1.7).

Like: K2_READ_MORE (and not Read more)

How?

Could you give some more information? Or show us what you have written in the custom module. It might help us to help you. On a different note, this would be a good question for http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/34294/joomla-answers — TryHarder, Apr 12 '12 at 14:45

You can do this in this way:

Create folder

/templates/YOUR-TEMPLATE/html/mod_custom

Copy there the following file and edit it:

/modules/mod_custom/tmpl/default.php

At approximately 14th line replace:

<?php echo $module->content; ?>

with:

<?php
if(!function_exists('convertJText')) {
    function convertJText($str) { return JText::_($str); };
}
echo preg_replace("/\^\^\^([^\^]+)\^\^\^/ie",'convertJText("$1")', $module->content);
?>

Then you will be able to use translatable strings in your Custom HTML modules by using ^^^K2_READ_MORE^^^

Inside a Module I can't add PHP. – Gabriel Santos Apr 12 '12 at 03:03
