SID-00124: Changing default locale

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.2.4	Perl version:	5.8.4
Category:	CategoryLocalization	Server OS:	Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel	Last update:	17 years ago

Localization is working fine for me. The only thing that I want is change the pt_BR to my default language no matter what. I mean, even when the browser declares himself in english. It´s an internal site only in portuguese. I want to change it in a way that it will maintain even after an upgrade. Thanks in advance.

Discussion and Answer

In configure click on Yes, I have read all the documentation button and set

{UserInterfaceInternationalisation} on,

{Languages}{pt}{Enabled} on,

{Site}{Lang} pt,

{Site}{FullLang} pt_BR

You could also remove the language bar from WebTopBar.

The {UserInterfaceInternationalisation} on and {Languages}{pt}{Enabled} on are ok, but the other two doesn't exist on my twiki. Do I need to change this directly on the configuration file? I've alredy removed the language bar from WebTopBar but when the client send tha it's using english as default language, the wiki appers in english. Where is the other place where I can change those settings? Thanks for you reply.

Don't you have a Yes, I've read all the documentation button in your configure page? It was there up to 4.2.3, I don't know if it was removed on 4.2.4

Enrique, The button is there on the configuration page, but these options doesn't exist. In the localisation section are these options and their values: {UserInterfaceInternationalisation} yes {Languages}{pt}{Enabled} yes Other language files disabled {DisplayTimeValues} gmtime {DefaultDateFormat} $day $month $year {UseLocale} yes {Site}{Locale} pt_BR.utf8 {Site}{LocaleRegexes} yes {LowerNational} blank {Site}{CharSet} iso-8859-1 {PluralToSingular} yes

I dont find the options you talking about!

Thanks in advance.

Humm, that's very strange. I have three sites here with different versions and each of them have those options. Tray to set it on Main.TWikiPreferences defining

   * Web default Language
      * Set LANGUAGE = pt_BR

Otherwise insert on /var/www/twiki/lib/LocalSite.cfg

$TWiki::cfg{Site}{Lang} = 'pt';
$TWiki::cfg{Site}{FullLang} = 'pt_BR';

Enrique, it worked perfectly. I've used the first one, Set LANGUAGE in the Main.TWikiPreferences. I think it's easier when upgrading TWiki, backup and other things. Thanks a lot for your help.

Best regards, Gabriel.
