This one is probably simple...but I'm failing to see it: how can I

Although I'm from Spain, I always work with En/Us system/Installs,
I'm completely used to it ... but how if I would like to have the UI
environment in, let's say, Spanish (or any other of the available
translations)?
I don't see an option in RDAdmin at first glance... I'v googled
around, and I've found an article on the wiki on howto create
translations, which could be very interesting, but... how to
apply/activate on of those translations?
For standard production setups, that’s an OS-level setting. The
easiest way to do it on CentOS 7 to use the ‘system-config-language’
tool. You may need to install it; just do (from a root shell):
yum install system-config-language
However, if you’re just hacking Rivendell and don’t want to change the
whole system over to a different locale, you can do it by setting the
‘LANG’ environmental variable to the desired language. For example, to
switch to Español, you could open a shell (non-root) and do something
like:
export LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
Rivendell modules run from that same session will then attempt to use
the appropriate translation.
Thanks for the feedback... Because I'm very influenced from MS windows
apps philosophy when it comes to radio automation (I don't use windows
personally :-) I was expecting the typical UI option... Then, soon after
mailing, I actually though on just switching the terminal LANG env var
to whathever, I set to deutsch, launched rdairplay ....and tada!
german!... then french, spanish ... sooooo simple, soooo linux, I love it!
While we’re on this subject: the translations currently in Rivendell
are extremely long in the tooth, with the last updates done way back
in the v2.x era, so I suspect that coverage for any given language is
quite ragged. As we converge towards a production v4.x release, we’ll
shortly be in a position to start soliciting volunteers to update
translations. Stay tuned!
I actually read a little on the wiki about making translations ... I
have to calmly refresh my rusted .po skills, re-read the
language/translation documentation on rivendell, and evaluate whether I
could help... I definitely would like very much to help translating to
Spain-Spanish, Catalan (And eventually I know people that could also
provide me translation to Euskera)
Cheers!
