TYPO3 pw_comments change/translate labels

Question

I like to change the labels of pw_comments to german. Until now I've tried to work with TypoScript, but this does not work:

plugin.tx_pwcomments._LOCAL_LANG.default.tx_pwcomments.comment = Kommentar

The page is in german language only, for that reason it is fine to change the defaults.

Can you help?

Answer 1

A possible resolution is to copy

typo3conf/ext/pw_comments/Resources/Private/Language/de.locallang.xlf

to

typo3conf/l10n/de/pw_comments/Resources/Private/Language/de.locallang.xlf

what do you think about this?

Answer 2

regarding language indexes default means english in TYPO3.
you need to differentiate between your current language and the language index for translations.

in this way you need to use
plugin.tx_pwcomments._LOCAL_LANG.de.tx_pwcomments.comment = Kommentar
to set a german label if you have configured your site to use german language (which you should do to have a clean language handling).

and don't forget to load all german translations:
