How to use the language feature.

Hi,

Is it the right place where I am asking the question?

BTW, I found that the language settings are indeed applied based on the users settings.

But despite that the text is not translated.
If I debug the "translate()" function in the GalleryTranslator.class
then I found that there is no translation taking place into other language.

Does any one know how to correct this?

Thanks!

hi beckett,

Thanks for the reply!

I have GNUmake as well as gettext support in the PHP.

I created a sample text file in the core directory to test it but no translation???

Can any one test it out and tell me what wrong I am doing?
----------------------
<?php

// Set the language as full locale 'de_DE'

$language = 'de_DE';

echo "\n";
// Set the text domain as 'modules_core'
$domain = 'modules_core';

echo bindtextdomain($domain, "./locale");
echo "\n";
echo textdomain("$domain");
echo "\n";
// The .mo file searched is:
// ./locale/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/modules_core.mo
// or if previous one doesn't exist:
// ./locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/modules_core.mo

//putenv("LANGUAGE=$language");
putenv("LC_ALL=$language");
//setlocale(LC_ALL, $language);

echo gettext("Hello world!");
echo "\n";
echo _("1 minute");
echo "\n";
echo _("Good Morning!");
?>
----------------------

Hi,

Yes there was no "Hello World!" in it, I put instead the "Action" which i see in the de_DE.po but still it don't translate.

I checked the above script seperately with a locale/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/greetings.mo from the examples on www.php.net and the translation works fine on the same server. (just needs an httpd restart)

But no translation in Gallery2.

I wonder, is this the language feature really working in Gallery2?

Please can anybody test the above script in a gallery2 installation.
just point the path in this line to correct location:
echo bindtextdomain($domain, "./locale");

and change the messages in the gettext("") , to something like Action,Active etc.

thanks,
Girish

Ok,

It seems there is some problem with out local test server.
The translation works fine with the production server

Thanks a lot!
