Localization, not enabling.

Anonymoose

Can't seem to get the locale strings to change, despite changing them.

mcu_hq

Are you talking about the ones that are in the sphinx plugin folder? Where are you changing them?

Anonymoose

Yes, I have edited plugins/SphinxSearch/locale/en-US.php but nothing changes on the site. (I use a custom default locale with en-US as the Locale var.)

mcu_hq

That's odd, it worked for me. I just now modified $Definition['Related Threads'] = 'Related Threads' and I saw the changes take effect. Are you sure that the array at the top of the file corresponds to 'en-US' and NOT 'en-CA'?

Yes.

   'Locale'       => 'en-US',
   'Name'         => 'SphinxSearch',
   'Description'  => 'For the Sphinx Search plugin',
   'Version'      => '1.0',
   'Author'       => "mcuhq",
   'AuthorEmail'  => 'mcuhq',
   'AuthorUrl'    => 'http://mcuhq.com',
   'License'      => 'FREE as in BEER'

My locale:

$LocaleInfo['Custom'] = array (
  'Locale' => 'en-US',
  'Name' => 'Custom',

mcu_hq

is the name of the file en-US.php?

Yes.

Anonymoose

conf/config.php

// Garden
$Configuration['Garden']['Locale'] = 'en-US';
// EnabledLocales
$Configuration['EnabledLocales']['Custom'] = 'en-US';

How about if you have copy-paste the definitions from the sphinx locale file into your main one and edit there. That maybe a stop-gap measure for now.

I still don't know this isn't working. I can't replicate it on my side of things....there's probably a config setting different somewhere...

Yes, copy-pasting into the main locale file worked.

Thanks for looking into this so far & Thanks for the plugin.

I think you might also try

creating a directory called

/SphinxSearch/locale/en-US/definitions.php

and put your definitions in there. It might work for you.

not sure if there is a preferred way.

Just tried it. It doesn't work.

@Anonymoose

the order of locales is

 1 - application based and dashboard based definitions
 2-  plugin based -     plugins/SphinxSearch/locale/en-US.php"
                                 plugins/SphinxSearch/locale/en-US/definitions.php
  3  - theme based 
 4 - locale based -      /locales/en-US/definitions.php"
 5 - locale based        /vanilla/locales/en-US/other_definitions.php"
 6-  conf based          /vanilla/conf/locale.php"
 7-  conf - specialized /www/vanilla/conf/locale-en-US.php"

so depending if you have

$Definition['Related Threads'] = 'My Related Threads'

in multiple files.

it will be overruled by the highest number.

this is how it works on my server.

Anonymoose

Well, I'll leave it alone, since it works when placed in /vanilla/locales/en-US/other_definitions.php and wait for Vanilla 2.1 to sort it out.

However, plugins/SphinxSearch/locale/en-US.php does not work. I tried a variety of definitions for a variety of strings.

mcu_hq

@peregrine do you also see this issue?

peregrine

I don't have an issue. Your setup and theme changing works perfectly fine in both vanilla1 and vanilla2 creating custom locales on my server. I suspect Anonymoose has incorrectly setup his locales.

for it to be setup correctly - this is the exact heading he needs.

$LocaleInfo['locale'] = array( // make sure the key of this array is the same as its folder name.
   'Locale'       => 'en-US',
  ..


he probably has it set to 
$LocaleInfo['Custom']  which would be incorrect in the sphinxplugin

he also needs to delete the .ini files

/cache/


-----

But @mcu_hq  you could avoid all this confusion if your plugin didn't use locales in the way you did.

if you create a locale using this technique


plugins/SphinxSearch/locale/en-US/definitions.php

then the definitions.php  would not need the $LocaleInfo['locale'] info array.

the definitions.php would just be

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();

$Definition['Related Threads'] = 'US v2 two Related Threads';
.
.
etc.

It might be less confusing for users than the en-CA.php technique and make it less prone for them to make mistakes.

Thanks Peregrine, I'm going to do this for next time.
