ALAMARTE - HELIX LANGUAGE FIX
System Plugin for Joomla!® 5 & 6

DESCRIPTION 

Additional Language for Helix Ultimate-based templates, is a professional plugin for Joomla! that injects translations into the backend interface of Helix Ultimate-based templates. It translates panels, modals, buttons, and interface elements without modifying original core files, preserving icons and DOM structure. Supports any language via configurable JSON files, automatically detecting the active administrator language.

WHAT PROBLEM DOES IT SOLVE?

Helix Ultimate's administration interface is primarily in English. Even though language packs exist, many dynamic elements (preset modals, column options, mega menu) remain untranslated. This plugin intercepts rendering and replaces texts in real time.

KEY FEATURES

✓ Translates backend panels: Basic, Presets, Layout, Menu, Typography, Custom Code, Advanced, Blog.
✓ Translates dynamic modals: Column Options, Row Options, Edit Menu Item, Mega Menu.
✓ Translates action buttons: Apply, Cancel, Save, Clear, Select, Reset to Default.
✓ Translates presets: Edit Preset, theme colors, customization options.
✓ Preserves Font Awesome icons and original DOM structure.
✓ Does not modify Helix Ultimate files.
✓ Uses MutationObserver to detect dynamically rendered elements.
✓ Compatible with AJAX and Bootstrap modals.
✓ 100% compatible with Joomla! 4, 5, and 6.

HOW IT WORKS

The plugin executes during the backend's onAfterInitialise event. It loads translations from .ini files and injects them as a JavaScript object (window.__alamarteLang). A script equipped with a MutationObserver detects when Helix renders panels or modals and replaces English strings with their translated equivalents while preserving icons and attributes.

MULTILINGUAL

Interface available in: • Spanish [es-ES] - Professional technical translations • English (en-GB) - Complete native texts

TRANSLATED ELEMENTS

1. Main Panels Basic → Básico | Presets → Preajustes | Layout → Layout | Menu → Menú | Typography → Tipografía | Custom Code → Código personalizado | Advanced → Avanzado | Blog → Blog

2. Option Modals Column Options → Opciones de columna | Row Options → Opciones de fila | Edit Menu Item → Editar elemento de menú | Settings → Ajustes | Mega Menu → Mega Menú

3. Buttons and Controls Apply → Aplicar | Cancel → Cancelar | Save → Guardar | Clear → Limpiar | Select → Seleccionar | Select Media → Seleccionar medios | Reset to Default → Restablecer predeterminados

4. Presets and Layouts Edit Preset → Editar Preajuste | Custom → Personalizar | Row → Fila | Column → Columna

5. Placeholders and Symbols Select an Option → Seleccionar una opción | W → ↔ | H → ↕

WHY USE THIS PLUGIN

1. Improves Admin Experience Offers a fully translated interface for users who prefer working in their native language rather than technical English.

2. Non-Intrusive Does not modify any Helix Ultimate core files. Framework updates will not overwrite translations.

3. Dynamic Translations Captures elements rendered via AJAX or JavaScript that are impossible to translate with traditional language packs.

4. Optimized Performance Uses debouncing and automatically disconnects the observer after 45 seconds of inactivity.

5. Easy Maintenance Translations are centralized in standard Joomla! .ini files.
