This repository provides a complete Ukrainian localization package for the content management framework Cotonti version 0.9.26 (Siena branch), designed to run on PHP 8.4 and higher.
Package update date: February 15, 2026
Translation adaptation: webitproff, 2026
Project Purpose
This package delivers a fully Ukrainian interface for the standard “out-of-the-box” Cotonti distribution. The localization covers the core system, default modules, plugins, and the standard theme.
The package can be used:
- for a clean (new) installation of Cotonti;
- as an additional localization for an existing website;
- within a multilingual project where Ukrainian is either the primary or an additional language.
Package Contents
The localization includes the following components:
1. Core System
The /lang/ua/ directory contains translations of key system files, including:
- administrative interface;
- system messages;
- user-related sections;
- countries;
- transliteration;
- basic interface elements.
This ensures full Ukrainian translation of the default system interface.
2. Standard Modules
The /modules/*/lang/ directories contain translation files for all default modules included in the official Cotonti distribution, such as:
- forums;
- pages (page module);
- private messages (pm);
- personal file storage (pfs);
- polls;
- RSS;
- users;
- index page;
- installer.
Each module includes its own *.ua.lang.php file, fully compliant with Cotonti’s localization architecture.
3. Default Plugins
The package also provides translations for standard plugins, including:
- autoalias2;
- autocomplete;
- comments;
- contact;
- ratings;
- tags;
- search;
- sitemap;
- statistics;
- referers;
- trashcan;
- userimages;
- whosonline;
- and others.
Translation files are placed in the standard path /plugins/<plugin>/lang/, ensuring consistency across both frontend and administrative interfaces.
4. Theme Support
The package supports the default Nemesis theme included in the Cotonti distribution.
The localization file is located at:
This guarantees that not only system functionality but also template-level interface elements are fully translated.
Installation for a New Cotonti Setup
If Ukrainian is intended to be the default primary language of the website, the following procedure is recommended:
- Download the latest version of Cotonti from the official repository.
- Upload the system files to the server.
- Download the Ukrainian localization package.
- Copy the
lang, modules, plugins, and themes directories into the root directory of the website. - When launching the installer, select Ukrainian from the language dropdown list.
If Ukrainian is used as the primary language, the database should initially be populated with Ukrainian content. Only afterward is it recommended to add translations into other languages within a multilingual configuration.
Compatibility
- Cotonti: 0.9.26 (Siena)
- PHP: 8.4+
- Default theme: Nemesis
- Supports standard modules and plugins from the official distribution
Practical Use Cases
This package is useful for:
- developers building Ukrainian-language websites on Cotonti;
- project owners migrating an existing website to Ukrainian;
- deployment of multilingual portals where Ukrainian serves as the primary language.
The localization follows the standard CMF structure, simplifying maintenance, updates, and integration into existing projects.
This repository provides a structured and technically consistent solution for full Ukrainian localization of Cotonti without the need to manually modify system files.
