Problem adding languages and with documentation
May 05, 2009, 08:55:10 am
I just installed Civi-crm and it went well, im currently going through the first config options and doing the localisation. I noticed the default and only choice is to use US English.

So I read through the docs at http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CiviCRM+Localisation and it all seems to make sense. The only thing im haveing problems with is the following two lines.

# Uncompress the tarball and you will see a directory called civicrm, containing two subdirectories called l10n and sql. The l10n directory contains a set of sub-directories named using their locale codes. (Example: the Canadian French translation files will located in /civicrm/l10n/fr_CA)
# Copy this l10n directory, together with all its subdirectories into your civiCRM codebase root directory.

My problem is with the civiCRM codebase root directory, I think the documentation could be made a little clearer and actually say what that root directory is for each CMS. I have taken the following folders /l10n/en_GB/ and tried to place them in both

root\administrator\components\com_civicrm\l10n\en_GB\
root\components\com_civicrm\l10n\en_GB\

And both times when in localisation it still only shows the default language choice.

Any suggestions on which folder I should use?

ahh dont you love it when you find an answer to your own problem, it appears it has to go into the civicrm folder, which is not really the root, com_civicrm is the root for joomla users.

I will update the wiki.

<edit> Wiki udpated, can someone check that the Drupal root part is right (and if not change it!!)
