Solved Kunena menu does not change language in multilingual web site

I'm running Kunena 5.1.16 on a multilingual (English-Spanish) Joomla 3.9.19 installation.

Today, I discovered that the Kunena menu does not change when the language of the web site change. It's only in English, but the text "inside" the forum change to Spanish.

Below is a screen dump showing what it looks like:



I can't say for how long this issue has been and if this might have happened after upgrade of Joomla to 3.9.19.

Any ideas of what's the problem?

The menu items will not rename if you switch the language. If you want different menu items for each language, you must create own menu items for each language and allocate. It is possible but it's not easy.

Rich, thanks for the clarification.

Is the text in the Kunena menu hard coded? If that is the case then it shouldn't be that difficult to put in "<?php echo JText::_('MY_MENU_. . .'); ?>" in the code and create language overrides.

I've been having a quick look for the menu texts in the code, but haven't found it yet. I would appreciate if you or anyone else could tell me in which file(s) I should look.

The language strings are in the /administrator/components/com_kunena/language/en-GB/en-GB.com_kunena.install.ini
But an override is not possible because these infos are used only during a new Kunena installation or if you restore the Kunena menu.
The menu items get this language, which is chosen as backend language during the installation.
If you use the Joomla language switch module, you need duplicates of your Kunene menu items for each language.

Thanks Rich.

I didn't realise that the Kunena menu was to be found among the other menus of Joomla. It was straight forward to change the existing Kunena menu so it only shows on English pages and make a copy of it and change it to Spanish and only show it on Spanish pages. Problem solved
