Hi there, I upgrade from web2py 1.74.8 to latest trunk and then my admin can not login normally, instead it generates error ticket. Tracing down the bug, I found the reason and cure.
1. Since rev 146, web2py uses the browser's prefer language as the default language setting. It is good. My browser's prefer language is "zh-cn" (Chinese), it is also fine. But it happened that the current Chinese language file, web2py\applications\admin\languages\zh-cn.py, introduced by Jobinson in rev79 (http://code.google.com/p/web2py/ source/detail?r=063cc48352), is totally unacceptable. It contains the unmatched-quotation syntax error, besides it does not finish translation at all, many english strings are "translated" into empty string, and some others are not translated precisely. So the first suggestion, in my humble opinion, is to delete web2py \applications\admin\languages\zh-cn.py. After all, a web2py developer/ user should be able to read all english words in admin app, so no need to have a non-english version which is not likely to be always synchronized with the official ones. 2. On the other hand, web2py's core code should be robust, to survive a language file with syntax error inside (now we know it happens). So the last line of function read_dict(filename) of web2py/gluon/ languages.py, should change into: try: return eval(lang_text) except: import logging logging.exception('Syntax error in %s'%filename) return {} Regards, Iceberg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
