Lightbox: how to translate 'Image x of x' text?

rated 0 times [ 41] [ 3] / answers: 1 / hits: 5394 / 11 Years ago, tue, december 24, 2013, 12:00:00

I'm using Lightbox 2 for an image set. When a visitor of my website clicks on a thumbnail in that set, it'll show:

The enlarged version of the image

Underneath that: the description (taken from the <a> title attribute)

Underneath that: the text 'Image x of x' ('Image 1 of 12', for example)

Does anyone know where to translate/change the 'Image x of x' text? I've searched through the Lightbox script and CSS files, but can't find the text anywhere.

Some additional info: I'm not using Wordpress or Drupal or any other CMS. I've found some solutions for the issue above, but these all point to files that only seem come with the Lightbox plugins for these CMSes.

Take a look in /js/lightbox.js at line 29-31:

LightboxOptions.prototype.albumLabel = function(curImageNum, albumSize) {

  return Image  + curImageNum +  of  + albumSize;

};

Translate the strings in any language / text you want to.
