If those values are entered in the XML field definition area, JCB on the fly will take this description('enter a acronym') for example and will convert it into a language placeholder and will add it to the British language file. This is all being done automatically for every area of the JCB compiler. Even in templates and views that is now the front end.<<<<<<<<<<<<

Then the passer will automatically grab that text and add it to the language file. So currently JCB is building a complete English [00:02:25](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzAcVkn_cWU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h02m25s) Language File for you. It's already able to translate it. But it has not had the feature for you to add multiple other languages. That is really what has been the request.

Presently it can not add multiple other languages.
### Adding Of Other Languages
The request is, isn't there a way we could [00:02:46](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzAcVkn_cWU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h02m46s) translate this language strings, and then when JCB compiles the component, it will automatically add these other languages. The suggestion was that we add an area where you can create as many languages as you like in accordance with the conventions. [00:03:10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzAcVkn_cWU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h03m10s) Your language tags need to be in in accordance with the correct prefixes used in Joomla. So I think we could add a link here. Maybe on this page at some point just to take you somewhere where you can find all the information to use the correct tagging for your language file. And here(Name) you could add the language name, you can create as many languages as you like. [00:03:39](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzAcVkn_cWU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h03m39s) Then when you compile a component, JCB, like I have explained, grabs all the strings from everywhere, and adds them to the British English translation file.

There had been a request that if it were possible, to translate this language strings, and then when JCB compiles the component, it will automatically add these other languages.
It had been suggested that an area should be added where as many languages as preferred can be created in accordance with the conventions.<<<<<<<<
