System settings

Component settings use the localizator_ prefix.

Where to change: Manage → System settings — filter by name or find keys with the localizator_ prefix.

Required setting for pdoTools

For pdoTools snippets (pdoResources, pdoMenu, etc.) to fetch localized resources, set the system setting pdoFetch.class (pdotools namespace) to pdotools.pdofetchlocalizator.

Page content output

All resource fields are replaced by localized values except the content field. Content is output via $_modx->resource.localizator_content (in Fenom: {$_modx->resource.localizator_content}).

mFilter2

For mFilter2 to work correctly, set the system setting mse2_filters_handler_class to mse2LocalizatorFilter.
