CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi, there,

I followed the official documentation to install and set the default language of our CiviCRM install to French (Canada). Everything seemed fine with no error messages but the only page that has even part of it actually in French is the "Settings - Localization" page where the language setting is. On this page, the menus are all in French as well, though not all the text on the page is (see below).

I have tried flushing APC cache and setting the language several times, using different browsers (in case it was a local cache issue).

What else should I look at to solve this problem? Has anyone seen this before? I've checked Google and this forum but no dice.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
Mike


My set-up:
CiviCRM 4.3.3
Drupal 7.x
MySQL version:5.1.x
PHP version: 5.3.3
OS: CentOS 6.4

The localization page looks something like this:
Langue et devises
Default Language   
Langue par défaut utilisée pour cette installation.
Inherit CMS Language   
Si activé, CiviCRM suivra les changements de langue du CMS.
Default Currency   
Devise par défaut associée aux contributions et aux autres transactions financières.

Thanks so much for your reply, mathieu.

Unfortunately, that did not work. I have the Drupal locale set as default. I also tried setting it to "fr" but that seemed to have no effect as well.

I'm quite sure the languages, themselves, are installed properly but there must be some setting or something wrong with regard to displaying / using that language.

It may be relevant that, for now, I just want to be able to switch the whole installation back and forth between English and French. In the future, I will need to allow users to set their own language preferences for their individual accounts. I know CiviCRM can do that but I want to just get the base functionality working right now.

Might you have any other ideas on this one??

Mike
