russian translation

[Dmitri Hrapof]

Hello!
I'm trying to translate opentaps 0.9 into Russian.
I started from Orders, created OrderUiLabels_ru.properties, translated
some labels (such as "Orders Needing Your Attention" etc.).
Russian is set as preferred language in my Firefox, and it gets selected
(judging by language selection box). But none of my new translations is shown...
What may be the reason?

Thank you,
Dmitri

property files are read at startup, have you restarted
Opentaps?

I think there is a problem somewhere with the language selection box but
I'm still investigating...
It *seems* that the language selection is working when the system
language is english, i.e. start OFBiz with "java -Duser.language=en -jar
ofbiz.jar"

Started as suggested, nothing changed. In fact, Russian *is* selected -
languages in lang selection box are translated, WorkEffort Manager is translated
- i.e. properties that came from opentaps/ofbiz tarball are working. But not my
new  OrderUiLabels_ru.properties. Shall I register it somewhere? I tried
rebuilding (by running "./ant"), to no avail...
Is there any message to look for in the logs? What is the best place to add
println to in the source? (I'm rather new to Ofbiz yet)

I guess I'll continue for a while by mutilating default English properties...

I'm running Linux too, and language selection works for me -
I can choose French, German, Russian - but only those
properties that came with distribution. :(

[Jacques Le Roux]

Sorry my mistake, I have also the problem on Linux, please see the jira issue about that point...

What is "distribution" here, Linux distribution ?

Sorry for misunderstanding, I meant Opentaps distribution and *_*.properties it
contained.

[Jacques Le Roux]

You mean you can't see english for instance ?
Did you try to create new properties files that do not work ?

Did you try to launch with this parameters -Duser.language=en -Duser.region=US, something like
"%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" -Xms256M -Xmx512M -Duser.language=en -Duser.region=US -jar ofbiz.jar ?

Also don't forget to take a look at
locales.available=...

in the framework/common/config/general.properties

Hi everybody -

There currently already is a Russian translation of at least the  
workeffort application, and it is in opentaps-0.9.1 and in the OFBIZ  
SVN.  For example, if you log into https://
demo.opensourcestrategies.com:8445/workeffort/control/main

then change your language to Russia, you will see a page come up in  
Russian.

If you have the opentaps distribution, take a look at the  
applications/workeffort/config/ directory and the file  
WorkEffortUiLabels_ru.properties.  That is all that was required.

As to why it doesn't work for you, I'm not really sure...  Why not  
open up a JIRA issue, upload your translation file, and I'll take a  
look?

Si

I can see English, Francais, Deutsch, Pycckuu' - every language that has
property files.

> Did you try to create new properties files that do not work ?
Yes, that's exactly the case - existing files work, new do not.

That looks interesting! There was no such line in my
framework/common/config/general.properties

What is the required format?
locales.available=en de fr it pt ru ?

it works

So I thought.

Will it suffice to say that if I replace OrderUiLabels.properties with a symlink
to my OrderUiLabels_ru.properties all my translated labels are shown correctly?
I.e. I think file format is right.

did u modify the original .properties file to add a reference to the russian
language file. see an example in <opentaps
hme>\applications\accounting\config\AccountingUiLabels.properties

You may use something like :
# -- locales made available separated by comma's
locales.available=en,fr,nl

# -- the default country for drop downs
#country.geo.id.default=USA
country.geo.id.default=FRA

Just tried it. Nothing happened.
