Hello,
I've written a mod for WordPress in Softaculous, using /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/softaculous/conf/mods/wp/mod_install.xml and /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/softaculous/conf/mods/wp/mods.php files.
Now, I want to translate texts on it for multiple languages. How to achieve that? I didn't found any documentation about this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I will explain it here :
1. In mod_install.xml you can use double curly braces instead of the original text. E.g. I want to translate the plugin name "Smart Maintenance Mode" so I will replace it as follows :
<head>{{maintenance_mode}}</head>
2. Now in mods.php in __wp_mod_settings function please globalize $softlang e.g.
global $softlang;
3. Now add your translated strings in this function after globalizing the array e.g. :
$softlang['english']['maintenance_mode'] = 'Smart Maintenance Mode';
$softlang['french']['maintenance_mode'] = 'Mode d\'entretien intelligent ';

Make sure the keys in $softlang matches the values you want to replace within double curly braces {{}} in the mod_install.xml
Let me know if you face any issues.

In Softaculous mods, there isn’t really a built-in translation system tied directly to `mod_install.xml` or `mods.php`. Those files are mainly for defining install behavior and UI strings, so for multilingual support you usually need to externalize your text strings and handle translations separately (for example via language files or WordPress’s `__()` / `_e()` functions if the mod hooks into WP output).

If Softaculous doesn’t expose a translation layer for mods, the practical workaround is to structure your mod so all user-facing text is pulled from language arrays/files instead of being hardcoded.

Also, tools like изменить размер фото can be useful when preparing localized documentation or UI screenshots in different formats for multilingual guides.
