Hello,
I am building an English/Farsi multilingual site and seem to have hit a brick wall when it comes to easily translating the block header and content in a number of modules.
I have searched the forum and there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer on how to do this .....
I have thought about various ways to tackle this ....
1. Using the "add multilingual block" option: This allows me to search the string i need and insert the Farsi translation , but does not then change between the languages, still showing the English translation on the relevant Farsi page.
2. Amending the fa.po file: Is it possible to add strings to an existing .po file? If so, is there an idiots guide to doing this? Having read lots of posts about .po files and .pot files, i am completely lost :(
3. Creating duplicate modules: I even thought of creating duplicate modules so that i could then change the block info to Farsi for the duplicate module and keep English for the original. Is this actually possible.
4. I have also noticed the "Poll" module does exactly what i want all the modules to do. Can anyone point out the changes done to this module to make it work so i can customise the relevant modules i need?
The modules i am after are:

Being a coding dunce, i would like to keep any hard coding to a minimum.
