i am using the News system (news) extension. In the listing view I need to translate the "read more" text to my local language (german). I already found the translation file inside the plugins folder. 

Path: /typo3conf/ext/news/Resources/Private/Language

Now I need to know if I just can overwrite this file or if I need to add my own translation file so the plugin is still perfectly updatable (and if so how does it work).

One easy way to do this is using the lfeditor extension https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/lfeditor/

read carefully the instructions about the editing modes!

Another possibility could be using TypoScript to override the labels - see https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/Setup/Plugin/Index.html#local-lang-lang-key-label-key

  • Thanks for the quick answer. So i have this in the plugin language file: Read more so the key is "more-link" right? And my typoscript should be: plugin.tx_news._LOCAL_LANG.de.more-link = Mehr erfahren ? – RacoonOnMoon Jan 29 '18 at 12:08
  • Because that doesn't work for me. Probably a problem with my installation. Thanks for all. I mark it as right because that prolly should work. – RacoonOnMoon Jan 29 '18 at 12:25
  • The syntax is correct; I tested it and it works. We need futher information about your configuration to diagnose why it does not work. Is "de" the main language or an alternative language? – Riccardo De Contardi Jan 29 '18 at 13:20
  • It works now! en was the main language of the TYPO. I swapped it to de now it works fine. en is now the alternative lang. Thank you! – RacoonOnMoon Jan 29 '18 at 13:46
