Ok, it works
Thanks for your prompt response

Now what I am asking is this, When I open the *_el_GR.properties files with wordpad from windows I can see no greek characters, I only see "\u03c4\u03ae \u03b7: instead of greek. What can I do in order to be able to work on them?

Thank you in advance,
Mary

First of all read http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Language_Pack_Installation and http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Simple_Customisations#Adding_Languages.

In order to add more languages you should add the following code into the file /shared/classes/alfresco/extension/web-client-config-custom.xml

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Languages" replace="true">
<languages>
         <language locale="el_GR">Greek</language>
         <language locale="ca_ES">Catalan</language>
         <language locale="hr_HR">Croatian</language>
         <language locale="cs_CZ">Czech</language>
         <language locale="da_DK">Danish</language>
         <language locale="de_DE">German</language>
         <language locale="es_ES">Spanish</language>
         <language locale="fi_FI">Finnish</language>
         <language locale="fr_FR">French</language>
         <language locale="it_IT">Italian</language>
         <language locale="ja_JP">Japanese</language>
         <language locale="du_NL">Dutch</language>
         <language locale="pl_PL">Polish</language>
         <language locale="pt_PT">Portuguese</language>
         <language locale="pt_BR">Portuguese (Brazilian)</language>
         <language locale="ru_RU">Russian</language>
         <language locale="sv_SV">Swedish</language>
         <language locale="tr_TR">Turkish</language>
</languages>
</config>

After that if you select one of the above languages in the login page and you don't see any difference try to downloads the 2.1release from this link : http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143373&package_id=157460
Then copy the content of alfresco-2.1\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\messages into alfresco-3 tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\messages .

I hope it will solve your problem.

Regards
Maria

Hi all

I have also been able to install another languages using the instructions of this post. My question now is how can I set another language as a default option in the login screen? . I mean even if you install another languages, English is the one set as default in the login screen. Is there any way to set Spanish for example?

Thanks a lot in advance guys :wink:

To set the default you have to modify the file:

$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/web-client-config.xml:

   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Languages">
      <!– the list of available language files –>
      <languages>
         <language locale="en_US">English</language>
      </languages>
   </config>‍‍‍‍‍‍

change

  <language locale="en_US">English</language>‍

for whatever language you want as default.:

<language locale="es_ES">Espa&#241;ol</language>‍

Alternativelly, you can change:

$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/alfresco/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/web-client-config-custom.xml:

adding replace="true":

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Languages" replace=true>

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Languages" replace="true">
      <!– the list of available language files –>
      <languages>
         <language locale="es_ES">Espa&#241;ol</language>
         <language locale="en_US">English</language>
        ….
      </languages>
   </config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and the default will be the first in the list of languages.

Hoi guys,

I've tried the above.

 
<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Languages" replace="true">
      <languages>
     <!– <language locale="nl_BE">Nederlands (Belgie)</language> –>
      <language locale="nl_NL">Nederlands</language>
      <language locale="en_US">English</language>
      </languages>
      </config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The Dutch language is set indeed as default language, but the labels, User Name, Password and Language remain in English. After I've changed the dropdown list of the languages the labels changed. I can log in Dutch with the labels in English, but Dutch is selected<by default>.
This is not user friendly. Can some one help me with this?

Have you installed the Dutch language pack as well as changing the XML file?

Hi,
I've installed the language pack by placing the .properties file in the messages directory. And changed the .xml file. But I don't know what is wrong. The labels remain in English the very first time you go the the login page, but the dropdown list is change into dutch. If you change the dropdownlist and set at last for "Dutch" then the labels change along. :?
