FOG Project Web App Localization

[WT_101]

Hi,

I’m trying to change some wording such as “Host” to “Platform”

I trying to change for below file to do the translation but it is not working.

Is there any steps i missing to do the localization?

Thank You

I have use Poedit to create the message.mo into “web/management/language/en_US.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES” then re-install FOG then the localization works.

This bring up some question below:

1. how can the localization(translation) works without re-installation? (i do try to just put the message.mo & message.po file into the right directory then restart the server but it is not reflecting until reinstall)
2. How to use “web/management/language/en_US.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES\message.po” and “packages\web\commons\text.php” ?

an example on “FOG Configuration” i already change & reinstall but it is not reflecting

I already change the message.po

I found that if those text in this file it wont be translated

Therefore how actually the right way to use both of these files?

Thank You
Best Regards
WT

Not sure it’s wise to do as we don’t understand your working here in the forums.

Take a look at what the installer does:

msgfmt -o ".../path/to/messages.mo" ".../path/to/messages.po"

How to use “web/management/language/en_US.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES\message.po” and “packages\web\commons\text.php” ?

The later file was initally meant to be used for a general place to define variables for most used terms and phrases that could be used throughout the code. But I think it’s not being used in each and every stop in the code. Searching the code (or github) you can find many places where this variables are used: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/search?q=foglang
