Installed locale not showing even though it is enabled

Hi,

I installed Japanese locale (http://vanillaforums.org/addon/vf_ja-locale), enabled and set it as default it in Dashboard but it is not appearing on forum main page. Do you have any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong? I am running a self-hosted version of Vanilla, v2.1.8p1.

Thanks!

  • Try clearing the .ini files in the /cache directory

  • I tried clearing out the .ini files, but Japanese UI text is still not showing. Any other suggestions?

  • Has anyone have successfully installed and run a non-English locale on a self hosted version? I'm wondering if it is the locale files issue...

    Yes. Add a line with your locale definition to /conf/config.php

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

    Change YourForumName to your forum name, and en-US to the locale you want.

    Normally there are no problems.

    1. enable the language pack
    2. choose it as default
    3. maybe you have to clear the ini files in /cache

    That's it.

  • Thanks everyone for your advise. I tried the suggestions offered so far but Japanese UI text is still not showing up. I see a directory that is in /applications/vanilla/locale, and it only has en-US in it. Should the locale files be uploaded to that instead of /locale? Maybe wrong file permissions? I wonder if there is a way to run Vanilla in debug mode....

  • I installed Vanilla through MojoMarketplace. Maybe that's the problem...

  • It works without a problem for me, I just tested it.

    And yes, you can run vanilla in debug mode by adding this to your conf/config.php

    $Configuration['Debug'] = TRUE;
    

    But I doubt it will help with your locale problem.

  • @Bleistivt, when you extracted the files, did you just upload the files in vf-ja folder and the folder itself to /locales? Or did you upload the one level up with version number?

  • So it turns out that I needed to uncompress the zip file right in the /locale directory on the server. I was uncompressing locally on a folder on my machine, and then uploading it. Learned a lesson here. :)
