Question

Hello

My pupils should use twiki, but they are german native speakers. Is there a german localization for twiki?

How do i install it? Or how do i localize it?

TWiki has an internationalisation feature, which can be enabled with bin/configure: In section Localisation, switch on UserInterfaceInternationalisation, and disable all languages you don't need (for performance reasons). Many "administrative" topics are available in German, though the documentation (TWiki web) is not.

See InternationalizationSupplement and InstallationWithI18N.

You will probably want to run in the ISO-8859-15 character set - so you would need to check that your Linux server has the right locale (covered in InstallationWithI18N). If you don't have this locale installed, see this Ubuntu tip on how to create the right one - probably this would be de_DE.ISO-8859-15 for Germany, or de_CH.ISO-8859-15 for Switzerland (the part after underscore is the country/region). Linux distros other than Ubuntu should be similar.
