Hi Dominique-Alain, So do the pieforms strings work in pieforms? If you go to Site Administration and try to edit a user's account settings at admin/users/edit.php, do you see the month names in the Expiry date selector in French or English? Those are the ones from pieforms.php, and are a bit of a hangover from when pieforms was a separate project to Mahara.
For the month names in most other places on the site (like the dates under Latest Pages on the dashboard), you need to get the locales string exactly right. To get it to work in Ubuntu, all I had to do was this: 1. Install the French locale on the server with "sudo apt-get install language-pack-fr" 2. Put 'fr_FR.utf8' as the first item in the locales string in langconfig.php - others have said that windows users will need 'french' in there as well, but I haven't tried it myself. So you should try 'fr_FR.utf8' if you haven't tried it already. For me, 'fr_FR.utf8', 'fr_FR.UTF-8', and 'fr_FR.utf-8' all work, but 'fr.utf8', 'fr.utf-8', and 'french' don't do anything. When I tried it yesterday with the Spanish langpack I thought I needed to restart apache too, but I was wrong about that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Committers, which is subscribed to Mahara. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/786923 Title: Strings in pieforms.php are not used in foreign languages Status in Mahara ePortfolio: Incomplete Bug description: Using cpds pluging and after a email chat with its programmer, I have discover a problem with the dates in localised versions of Mahara. When displaying date, the month names are not taken from the translated version of pieforms.php. Therfore, the month names are still in English even with a French or German pieforms.php in the according xx.utf8 in the langpacks folder. This bug is visible in cpds and plans artefacts. I didn't check the code to find the origin of the problem. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mahara-core Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mahara-core More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
