please explain this procedure

i set up my store to be in hebrew, site is in hebrew as well, i want to translate virtuemart using the default en-GB.ini file that has all the strings to override the virtuemart component specifically and keep site language files seperate, where do i copy the file (en-GB.com_virtuemart.ini)? do i rename it? do i need to include it in the code?

ok, after messing around with language overrides in joomla, i manually added a string override and found out where it is located and how it works, for other clueless people who want to translate virtuemart from scratch, here's what you do: (cause instructions unclear - dick stuck in fan etc)

1.) install desired MAIN SITE language in joomla
(a folder gets created in languages folder on your ROOT JOOMLA
(for me it is he-IL), within it you have all the files for different sections of your site)
2.) go to components/com_virtuemart/languages/en-GB
3.) create a copy of en-GB.com_virtuemart.ini and rename it to xx-xx.override.ini
(with xx's being your language file, for me it was he-IL, so he-IL.override.ini)
and put in overrides folder
4.)change strings

the pinned thread was too vague for me, this should be more idiot proof for new people.

are the files here: https://virtuemart.net/community/translations/virtuemart/he-IL not adequate?

it's fine, i just want to have more control and edit it to my needs, i'll take a look to integrate some of it in the future, thanks

then normally you would do it thru the normal Joomla language over rides ...  otherwise your changes are in danger of being over written on updates
