Cannot change default language - CiviCRM 4.1
February 21, 2012, 08:35:52 am
Hi,

I've followed the instructions here: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC41/CiviCRM+Localisation - but I still only have the choice of English (United States) under Localization. Any suggestions? Has this changed in 4.1..?

Thank you..!

What folder are your uncompressed translation files in?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply; I've extracted the language modules into: [base]\modules\civicrm\l10n

That's correct, isn't it?

The translation folders are in the l10n folder - e.g. en_GB. Is that what you mean? (There's no folder named "translation".)

That is indeed what I mean, just making sure the obvious things are correct  ;) Weird.....

Hi! same problem but in Joomla. At joomla 2.5.3 the destination folder is not as shown in the documentation:

site_root/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/l10n/

The only possibility is:

site_root/administrator/components/com_civicrm/l10n/

Thanks

pretty sure the destination folder should be:

site_root/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/l10n/

I might have not understood the question :(

Hi, first of all thank you for your feedback.

Second, I'm not so good at english language, so is normal not to understand.

And finally, the question:

Where to put in joomla 2.5.3. with civicrm 4.1.1. the directory /l10n ?

I've try both:

site_root/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/l10n/

site_root/administrator/components/com_civicrm/l10n/

with no result.

Thanks!

Oh!, so sorry, I was at:

site_root/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/l10n/

and the correct is:

site_root/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/l10n/

Thank you!

Finally got some time on this again...

It seems that I simply forgot to copy over the .sql files, as detailed right here in the instructions: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC40/CiviCRM+Localisation

Thank you all again..! :-[
