SID-02241: Language pt_BR

Hi,

I am trying to configure twiki to portuguese/Brazil (pt_BR).

I tried: $TWiki::cfg{Site}{Locale} = 'pt_BR.utf8'; $TWiki::cfg{Site}{LocaleRegexes} = 1; $TWiki::cfg{Site}{Lang} = 'pt_BR'; $TWiki::cfg{Site}{FullLang} = 'pt';

But it doesn´t work. I tried to change for other languages (fr, for example), and it doesn´t work either.

What I am doing wrong? Should I change some other configuration?

I am using TwikiVM -6.0.1-1

Thanks

Discussion and Answer

I guess you missed to activate {UserInterfaceInternationalisation} ? It is the very first item under the "Localisation" heading.

To quote from configure:

Note: for user interface internationalization, the only settings that matter are {UserInterfaceInternationalisation}, which enables user interface internationalisation, and {Site}{CharSet}, which controls which charset TWiki will use for storing topics and displaying content for the users. As soon as {UserInterfaceInternationalisation} is set and the required (Locale::Maketext::Lexicon and Encode / MapUTF8 Perl modules) are installed (see the CGI Setup section above), the multi-language user interface will just work.

Work in Twiki VM, but dosen't work in twiki personal.

TwikiPersonal not support this method?

Now i using twiki personal, for test...

Erm.... (looking embarassed to the floor) I admit that I've never tested this setting in TWikiPersonal. You are correct, it doesn't work - but that's a bug and not a feature. The automatic detection for Perl dependencies fails for all "optional" modules, in this case Locale::Maketext::Lexicon (I bet you find entries in your personal TWiki's data/warn201608.txt file).

I'll look into it during the weekend. Maybe the fix is just to add a few (more) modules to the package, then I'll upload a new version in the next days.

Done: https://sourceforge.net/projects/twiki/files/TWiki-Personal/TWiki-Personal-Win-6.0.3-alpha.zip/download It turned out to be not too difficult - just adding a couple of modules seemed to be sufficient to get it working. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks! I will try.
