How to change forum language?

medicus

Hi,

I recently have installed vanilla v2.0.14, i want to change default language to Turkish. i want to show you the turkish language pack structure.

\turkish-locale-4-vanilla-2-1.0\applications\garden\locale\tr-TR\definitions.php
\turkish-locale-4-vanilla-2-1.0\conf\locale.php

As far as i know, i need to create tr-TR folder in locales folder along side with skeleton folder on host or on server. And i should put that definitions.php into the tr-TR folder with the file permission of 755.

Should i replace locale.php in conf folder of vanilla installation with turkish one?
I read some FAQ and i didn't see anything about changing locale.php!

Secondly, if i replace locale.php, language changes. there is also translations in locale.php, i thought cutting and pasting those translations into definitions.php would work but nothing has happened. why?

Could you simply tell me what should i do to change my forum language? There isn't any FAQ or forum topic about this.

There is a help topic on localization here: http://vanillaforums.org/page/localization.

A few of things to note:

1. Make sure the folder name is not tr-TR, but some other string like "turkish" because the dash in the name will not work.
2. Make sure you add your $LocaleInfo array to your locale pack.
3. The help topic has a section called Enabling a Locale Pack on Your Site.

I used tr-TR because the content of plugin archive has that folder.

Hi,

I trasnlated change.php into Turkish just a little bit, but still most of it is in English. Then i did everything you mentioned above.

I renamed folder to turk, i enabled it in addons ->locales, i edited conf.php, i edited change.php to definitions.php and put it under turk folder in locales.

But translated strings didn't changed.

I really don't understand it.
