[SOLVED] Adding languages won't work...

Not applicable
Hi everybody Smiley Happy
I installed Alfresco labs 3 and it works perfectly. I then try to install a new language pack, without success Smiley Sad

I first try to make my language appears in the drop-down menu at the login page. I followed the instructions at :
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Client_Configuration_Guide
and :
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Simple_Customisations#Adding_Languages (which are quite the same)…

I modified the file C:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\web-client-config-custom.xml which is now exactly as follow :

<alfresco-config>
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Languages">
      <languages>
      <language locale="fr_FR">French</language>
      </languages>
   </config>
</alfresco-config>
Still, when I'm restarting Alfresco ("alf_stop" and then "alf_start"), the default language is still English (which is normal) but I don't have the choice for the French language in the drop-down menu ! I tried this in Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox 3…

I've search for this problem in the forum but didn't find a true solution yet Smiley Sad

The only possible solution that I saw was set out in this post :
http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=14337
but obviously the release 2.1 of alfresco is no longer available…So I'm stuck !

Any help ? Thanks a lot !

In the end I managed to make my language pack work.
I installed the french language pack (found at http://forge.alfresco.com/frs/?group_id=14&release_id=375), follow the instructions for the installation, modified the web-client-config-custom.xml, etc.
After that it didn't work, so I racked my brain and deleted the C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco directory…When the server is launched, it recreates the webapp by the way…

After that indeed, I started the server, the directory were rebuilt and…The language pack worked Smiley Happy I got it in the dropdown menu and all Alfresco is traduced.

Hope it will help !

Summary :
- install your language pack;
- do not forget to modify C:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\web-client-config-custom.xml;
- delete C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco (if already existing);
- restart your server;
- enjoy Smiley Wink
