List of Preferred Languages in French?
November 13, 2013, 08:44:42 pm
I'm using fr_CA and en_CA and when on a french display of a form (in webform - might be causing an issue?), the provinces and countries drop downs are in French, but the preferred languages are in English. My guess is that these are pulled in from an official ISO source some where - I couldn't find them in the untranslated strings in admin or common-base at https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/civicrm/language/fr_CA/. Suggestions on how to fix / debug this?

I think that these values are pulled from an Option Group. For example, if you go to: /civicrm/admin/options?reset=1, and search for "language", you should see the full list. The title of the language can be localised from there.

Webform_civicrm calls CRM_Core_I18n_PseudoConstant::languages(), so if CiviCRM was initialized with the right locale (ex: inherited from the CMS language), it should be OK.

It would be convenient to not have to translate this standard of list of languages, but for the translations to be immediately available when one or more additional languages are enabled on a multi-lingual site.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-1_language_matrix has a listing of the names of languages in 26 languages.

What would you suggest is the best way for JMA to cause them to be available when one of these 26 languages is enabled on a site? Should we add a call to a function that updates the new fields in civicrm_option_value table for these language options?

I think it fits in the general problem: when a new language is added in a multi-lingual CiviCRM, we need to populate the translations. Same goes for individual prefixes/suffixes, address types, activity types, etc.?

Yes, agreed. These are all things that are available when one installs from scratch in a language, and should be available when enabling the language as an additional language in a multi-lingual install.

I take that instead of what I am proposing, we should have a general method of doing this. Suggestions?
