Try to use other language

[Fernando Gietz]

Hi,
I try to select other language that is not english, for example, spanish or german, but the web UI appears only in english. Is a bug or maybe the browser configuration? or is a DT’s super filter in inet (America first) XDDD?

[Fernando Gietz]

I have found in FOG Settings -> General Settings an entry:
DEFAULT LOCALE = Español

With this setting I can see the web UI in spanish but I can not change to other language .

Maybe I can get your help in fixing this? I know you’re asking about it, I can tell you what I think it’s related to.

I believe it’s due to how session_start is occurring. During initial login a session is started, once logged in a another session is created using the new login information. It’s this reset of the session I believe is causing the problem.

Also, I believe you may need to ensure you have the locale installed on the base system too. I’ve tested this a few times and didn’t see anythign particularly troubling, but then again I only tested at a very basic level.

We have two official languages in my university: Spanish and Basque (Euskera), I can set the default language the spainish language but if somebody wants the basque, actually he can not set it.

I’ve added Basque to the translations list for 1.6. It’s a bunch of work to add if you’re trying to do it manually. You need:

Edit /var/www/fog/commons/text.php and add the line:

$foglang['Language']['eu'] = 'Euskal';

Edit /var/www/fog/lib/fog/processlogin.class.php and look for: 'es

After the relevant found item you’ll add the case/if statements for it using 'eu_ES as the translation code.

Add the relavent /var/www/fog/management/languages/eu_ES.UTF-8 folder(s) and files. The structure looks like:

/var/www/fog/management/languages/eu_ES.UTF-8
/var/www/fog/management/languages/eu_ES.UTF_8/gpl-3.0.txt
/var/www/fog/management/languages/eu_ES.UTF_8/LC_MESSAGES
/var/www/fog/management/languages/eu_ES.UTF_8/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po

Hopefully that helps.

Hi Tom,

thanks for the info.

I have make the changes and now appears me the Euskal entry in the list box, but when I try to change the language from Spanish to Euskal, the WEBUI appears in Spanish

I cleared the history and clean the browser cache

[Tom Elliott]

@fernando-gietz you also built the appropriate mo file in the eu_ES.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/messages.mo?

Of course you’d need the translation po file in place to build the mo.

It should work as long as you have locale generated and available on the system too.

[Fernando Gietz]

OK. I will create the files for Basque.

I will update the Spanish files too
