When creating an event, I would like to have the list of available categories in the write language.

I do not see how to translate event categories in order to list available categories in the right language when creating an event from the front end.
hello Claude bouchard,

To fix this, you have to put language constant in your backend > Easysocial > Events > category > select your category > put the language constant (e.g. COM_EASYSOCIAL_CATEGORY_EVENT), then copy this language constant in your different language file

e.g.
English version - JoomlaFolder\language\en-GB\en-GB.com_easysocial.ini
French version - JoomlaFolder\language\fr-FR\fr-FR.com_easysocial.ini

So that when your site switch to French language, then the event category will be switch to French language.
Hope this help.

Thanks Arlex,

It's working. But, when I go to the "create event" functionality, the list of available categories is missing the translated item.

Is there another file where to add the transacted items so I can select any of the all available categories when creating an event?

Hello Claude,

Sorry for late reply to this,
If you follow my instruction above, it shouldn't show the untranslated language string in "select events category" listing page.
Can you provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can help you check on this?
