SID-01310: Localisation of TWiki without {UserInterfaceInternationalisa

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.1.0	Perl version:	5.12.4
Category:	CategoryInternationalization	Server OS:	Ubuntu 11.10	Last update:	14 years ago

Hi, my twiki works verry well, when i check the option {UserInterfaceInternationalisation} in the config. When the user choose "german" in the option-box, all is nearly perfect. But i dont't want to offer them users to choose the language. So i removed the option, but my twiki is now english. i try it with the variable " * Set LANGUAGE = de" as i can read in another post. But that doesn't help.

The {Languages}{de}{Enabled} is the only checked langauge. {UseLocale} is checked {Site}{Locale} is de_DE.ISO-8859-1 (utf8 avoid mutated vowels) {Site}{CharSet} is iso-8859-1

the local -a in ubuntu says: C C.UTF-8 de_AT.utf8 de_BE.utf8 de_CH.utf8 de_DE de_DE.iso88591 de_DE.utf8 de_LI.utf8 de_LU.utf8 en_AG en_AG.utf8 en_AU.utf8 en_BW.utf8 en_CA.utf8 en_DK.utf8 en_GB.utf8 en_HK.utf8 en_IE.utf8 en_IN en_IN.utf8 en_NG en_NG.utf8 en_NZ.utf8 en_PH.utf8 en_SG.utf8 en_US.utf8 en_ZA.utf8 en_ZM en_ZM.utf8 en_ZW.utf8 POSIX

By the way, also the login help text is english. this comes before i can select a language bacause the system has no idea whoch people will logon right now. Also for this purpose it will be verry interesting, how i can set all pages in german by default.

Can you please help me?

Discussion and Answer

Be sure to set the LANGUAGE var in Main.TWikiPreferences. Keep the option {UserInterfaceInternationalisation} checked and remove the languages droplist from TWiki.WebTopBar or TWiki.TopMenuSkinTopBar. To do so look in those topics for * %INCLUDE{%SYSTEMWEB%.LanguageSelector}% and remove that line.

The text in english in the help topics have to be translated. HINT: You could google for german TWiki installations that might already translated the text.
