possible to use joomla language overrides ?

[BlackBrix]

I switched the frontend to german,
and I can see that the language file "../language/de-DE/de-DE.com_engage.ini" is 'active' then.

so far so right ...

I know it from other joomla extensions, that one can use the built in "Joomla language overrides"
by picking one language constant from the language file (in this case e.g. "COM_ENGAGE_COMMENTS_HEADER_N_COMMENTS_0")
and put in another phrase under the "Extensions" -> "Language(s)" -> "Overrides" dialog ...

I can the language overrides not get to work with the engage extension,
is it intended to work this way ?

We are using Joomla's built-in language system in all of our Joomla extensions, including Engage. Just make sure you are overriding the correct language string and that you have made it available to the frontend of the site as well.

For what it's worth, you probably want to override COM_ENGAGE_COMMENTS_ARTICLE_HEADER_N_COMMENTS_0, not COM_ENGAGE_COMMENTS_HEADER_N_COMMENTS_0. The former is what is actually used in the frontend. The latter is a safe default in case a future version of Joomla somehow breaks the content type detection, currently unused. The English version of the language uses different strings to make it apparent. Unfortunately, the volunteer German translator decided to use the exact same language in both strings, making finding that language string a bit more complicated :)

ah OK, thats a hint,

so (on my installation) I have to look into "../administrator/language/de-DE/de-DE.plg_content_engage.ini" instead ?

I'm a little confused because in the github repo I can find it only in "../plugins/content/engage/language/de-DE/de-DE.plg_content_engage.ini"
