Description of my issue:

I tried to update the Chinese language translation for Akeeba Backup v4.2.3 for Joomla . I noticed that , just after installation of Akeeba Backup component, there are several lines of words on the "welcome page"( I mean the installation success message), such as:


Akeeba Backup Core - Full Joomla! site backup solution, Core Edition.

Welcome to Akeeba Backup!



You can download translation files directly from our CDN page.

Extension Status

Akeeba Backup Installed

Framework on Framework (FOF) 2.4.3 [2015-04-22] Installed

Akeeba Strapper 2.4.3 [2015-04-22] Installed

We strongly recommend reading the Quick Start Guide (short, suitable for beginners) or Akeeba Backup User's Guide (lengthy, technical) before proceeding with using this component. Alternatively, you can watch some video tutorials which will get you up to speed with backing up and restoring your site.



When you're done with the documentation, you can go ahead and run the Post-Installation Wizard which will help you configure Akeeba Backup's optional settings. If this is the first time you installed Akeeba Backup, we strongly recommend clicking the last checkbox, or click on the Configuration Wizard button in Akeeba Backup's control panel page.



Should you get stuck somewhere, our Troubleshooting Wizard is right there to help you. If you need one-to-one support, you can get it from our support ticket system, directly from Akeeba Backup's team.

While Akeeba Backup Core is free, access to its support is not. You will need an active subscription to request support.



Remember, you can always get on-line help for the Akeeba Backup page you are currently viewing by clicking on the help icon in the top right corner of that page.


After a quick search, I found these words in this file:

/administrator/components/com_akeeba/script.akeeba.php

This means, all those words on the "welcome page" were hardcoded into a php file so that they CAN NOT be translated via language file.

Could you please move these words into the language file, then common users can read these message in their native language?

Thank you.

Long story cut short, this text will go away. Nobody was reading it anyway. This is why we have the post-installation messages now (which are translatable!).
