need to clear / empty the cache

[chrisber]

Hi,
Hope this was not in another topic, but
I need (the webhost server says there is too many files hosted) to empty or clear the cache files of GTranslate.
I had to manually install Gtranslate, that means that I don't have access to the plugin (or component, I don't remember) through the backend on my joomla site.
So first, I changed in the config.php the cahce time to 30*24*60*60 (instead of 365*24*60*60 for one year by default) ==> does it really mean it will clear the cache files after 30 days ?
Secondly, to clear these files manually, do I just need to manually delete the files from the explorer of the webhost server, or is there another way ?
Thanks for the help.

Hi,

We don't suggest clearing the cache or decreasing the cache time. However you can clear the files manually from gtranslate/cache/XX language folders. You can disable some of the languages to have less files.

In the near future we are going to offer a different approach for the website translation, which will keep the translation cache on our server and there will not be a need for our clients to install a software on their server and make updates.

Hi Edvard,

This very interesting news. In how near future we can expect this new version?

I hope very much that it will be available next month.
