Can't change locale 2.1.0-rc4 Standard Edition

[gml]

Hello!

I'm evaluating Timetrex for our small office and put it on a Gnu/Linux machine (Ubuntu 7.10 RC).

1. I can't set any locale. The only items that get changed are the language and Date format dropdown lists. German changes to Deutsch and the date format list is adjusted. All other text is still in English.
Same if I choose Spanish, French, Portuguese.

Code: Select all

2. I tried the basic steps from the other "can't set locale" thread, except the changes in the php code. I've given apache 2 all read/write rights on all subdirectories and files in the /timetrexx directory.
Deleted and reinstalled Timetrex too.

3. Running Timetrex 2.1.0-rc4

4. PHP 5.2.3-1ubuntu6

5. Ubuntu 7.10 RC

6. Apache 2.2.4 (Ubuntu)

Thanks in advance!

This is a known issue with Ubuntu, see this thread for more information:

We're still working on a complete fix.

Back again...

I tried the suggested temp fix by creating symlinks. That didn't work unfortunately.
The locale dir already had /de. So I created de_DE, de_DE.utf8 symlinks pointing to /de. Didn't work.

I then digged into the php source where I found a comment!

//setlocale fails on ubuntu if UTF-8 is not specified

YAY to whomever added it!

I uncommented the '.UTF-8' part and it....works!

Ubuntu seems to have some problems with Umlauts since all ÄÖÜß etc were showing as gibberish. So I corrected them throughout the German .mo file and set the encoding to UTF-8 in the header.
Then msgfmt the whole thing including fuzzy, deleted the cache dir, restarted apache2 and voilà, everything in German

Well, it resembles German. The machine translation could use some human proofreading .

Yes, all the beta languages are just initial machine translations at this point. We are always looking for people willing to help us out on the translation front.

I'll give it a shot over the next few days. Might as well try to translate as much as possible before showing it around in English.

The easiest way to do translations is to download poEdit from here:

http://www.poedit.net/

Then load up the messages file into it, ie:

interface/locale/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po
