title: Joomla | Module internationalization | New developer
body: <p>I try to create a very simple module in Joomla. While my whole code is correct, and the module working properly, I cannot make it  support the I18n feature.</p>
  
  <p>More specific, my module directory is like that:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mod_mymodname:
      languages:
          en-GB.mod_mymodname.ini
      mod_mymodname.php
      mod_mymodname.xml
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and then in my mod_mymodname.xml I have that code :</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.1" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;extension type="module" version="2.5.0" client="site"&gt;
      &lt;name&gt;MyModName&lt;/name&gt;
      ... Other Options ...
      &lt;files&gt;
          &lt;filename module="mod_mymodname"&gt;mod_mymodname.php&lt;/filename&gt;
          &lt;filename&gt;mod_mymodname.xml&lt;/filename&gt;
      &lt;/files&gt;
      &lt;languages folder="languages"&gt;
          &lt;language tag="en-GB"&gt;en-GB.mod_mod_mymodname.ini&lt;/language&gt;
      &lt;/languages&gt;
      &lt;config&gt;
          &lt;fields name="params"&gt;
              &lt;fieldset name="basic"&gt;
                  &lt;field name="modid" size="50" type="text" label="MODID" description="Description here" /&gt;
              &lt;/fieldset&gt;
          &lt;/fields&gt;
      &lt;/config&gt;
  &lt;/extensions&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and my en-GB.mod_mymodname.ini has that content in it</p>
  
  <pre><code>MODID=Module ID
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that in my admin section the field label has the value of "MODID" instead of "Module ID"</p>
  
  <p>Is there anything wrong with that ? Is my first Joomla module, and I am not sure if everything is correct.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Note</strong> : The module doesn't require any translation in the front-end. I only need I18n for the administration section.</p>
