a. untar the language pack to the path of locale
b. sh configure.sh, and set the new language as default
c. sh secure.sh

Can you see Chinese correctly when changing the language to it from the pull-down menu?

nicolas_zheng, your site displays chinese correctly. The reason for there still being some English text there, is that noone has completed the translation 100%.

http://www.jems.de/gallery-1.4.3/tools/g1-report.php for details on how much is translated.

Dear h0bbel,

Thanks for your help.

But one thing more, I used poEdit to view the .po file and found the the 'login' was translated, so I wrote a test.php like the following to test:

<?php
$language = 'zh_CN';
echo putenv("LANG=$language");
echo "<br>";
echo setlocale(LC_ALL, $language);
echo "<br>";
echo bindtextdomain("zh_CN-gallery_core","./locale");
echo "<br>";
echo textdomain('zh_CN-gallery_core');
echo "<br>";
echo gettext("login");
echo "<br>";
echo _("login");
?>

I put the test.php in gallery/ and open my browser to check the echo which was shown like these:

1

/home/httpd/html/dreamhouse/gallery/locale
zh_CN-gallery_core
login
login

It seems that the gettext() dosn't work, am I right?
how can I solve it?

Regards,

Nicolas Zheng

Hello ;)

No you are not. Your code is wrong.

Change 

echo putenv("LANG=$language");
echo "<br>";
echo setlocale(LC_ALL, $language);
echo "<br>";
echo bindtextdomain("zh_CN-gallery_core","./locale");
echo "<br>";
echo textdomain('zh_CN-gallery_core');

to 

putenv("LANG=$language");
setlocale(LC_ALL, $language);
bindtextdomain("zh_CN-gallery_core","./locale");
textdomain('zh_CN-gallery_core');

because you want to DO setlocale etc. not print the result ;)
