I really could use a massage of the day.

If you look at Motd.dtl, you'll see that it will support anything you want, even translation with $Text{"Something here."}

Of interest (perhaps) is that you might consider arranging Motd.dtl to look as you desire with HTML markup and leaving $Text{"MOTDMESSAGE"} (as a literal example) as a placeholder, pretty much never touching Motd.dtl again.

Instead, for the language(s) you'd support, you'd create/modify in Kernel/Language/{yourlanguages}_Custom.pm something like the following:

Code: Select all

# --
# Kernel/Language/xx_Custom.pm - provides xx custom language translation
# Copyright (C) 2001-2009 xxx, http://otrs.org/

package Kernel::Language::en_Custom;

use strict;
use warnings;

use vars qw($VERSION);
$VERSION = qw($Revision: 1.10 $) [1];

sub Data {
    my $Self = shift;

    # $$START$$

    # own translations
    $Self->{Translation}->{'MOTDMESSAGE'}   = 'This is my message in English';

    # or a other syntax would be
    #    $Self->{Translation} = {
    #        %{$Self->{Translation}},
    #        # own translations
    #        'MOTDMESSAGE' => 'This is my message in English',
    #    };

    # $$STOP$$
}

1; 

These xx_Custom might be:
en_Custom.pm
en_GB_Custom.pm
en_CA_Custom.pm
es_Custom.pm
zh_CN_Custom.pm
or any other that you'd find listed in Kernel/Language.

ok, i see.
you mean i put<p> &Text('This is a message here.') </p>in the motd.dtl
then go to the "'my language'.pm" translate this sentence to any other sentences i want by using my mother language.
Thanks a lot!
