missing translation

Added by [ Desperados ] over 3 years ago

Hi
we're using redmine in italian, but now some users need to use in english and we have noticed that some translations are missing
I've noticed that if I set "english" or "english (united states)" in chrome settings, some translations are missing, for example in the login screen
if I set "english (united kingdom)" everything is ok
how can I set redmine to use british english for missing fields?

I've noticed that redmine has "english (british)" (en-GB) as only english, but some plugins are in "english" (en), how I add "english" (en) to the available languages?

It may depend on the version you're using but in the current versions of Redmine there are both en and en-GB available.

If it's missing just grab a fresh copy of your version of Redmine and copy it into the config/locales folder. Don't forget to restart Redmine after doit so.

no, in my config/locales there are both files
it seems that my redmine take en_GB as language, and if a user users another english this is not loaded

RE: missing translation - Added by Bernhard Rohloff over 3 years ago

I did a quick check in my dev environment at current trunk. It seems like every thing works as expected with two users, one of them using English and the other one using English(British) at the same time. I also did a diff over both locale files. The en-GB.yml file seems very outdated to me since it's missing lots of strings. You can easily find out which file is loaded by comparing the labels when adding a relationship to an issue. They start upper-case in the English version and lower-case in the English(British) version.

are you speaking about setting language in your chrome settings? in my redmine configuration panel there is only GB english, even if in locale folder there are both en-GB.yml and en.yml

RE: missing translation - Added by [ Desperados ] over 3 years ago

any suggestions?
thanks

RE: missing translation - Added by Bernhard Rohloff over 3 years ago

That's weird. There should be both of them available. What version of Redmine do you have installed?
Perhaps that's an issue with file permissions. Is the en.yml file readable by the user running Redmine?

RE: missing translation - Added by [ Desperados ] over 3 years ago

I'm using 3.4.11
and yes, all yml files have same permissions

RE: missing translation - Added by Bernhard Rohloff over 3 years ago

I've tested it on two instances of mine with 3.4 and 4.1 installed and I cannot reproduce this behavior in any way. Both have English and English(GB) in their list of languages no matter what I do.

RE: missing translation - Added by [ Desperados ] over 3 years ago

how are languages loaded? redmine reads locale folder? what if I remove en-GB.yml?

RE: missing translation - Added by [ Desperados ] over 3 years ago

I upgraded from 3.4.11 to 3.4.13 and fixed: "english" appeared and all worked fine for a couple of days
this morning, again, all english translations are missing

RE: missing translation - Added by [ Desperados ] over 3 years ago

this morning it was working, and now again translation is missing
what the hell is happening?

please remove spam from this thread

I've cleared again cache with:

bundle exec rake tmp:cache:clear RAILS_ENV=production

and now it works: until when? stay tuned...
thanks

RE: missing translation - Added by [ Desperados ] over 3 years ago

it still appears and disappers, now I've redmine in italian and some translations are missing
also email sent by redmine, sometimes are missing of some translations
I've also tried to give 755 to tmp folder

RE: missing translation - Added by [ Desperados ] over 3 years ago

english is still appearing and disappearing, apparently without any logic

RE: missing translation - Added by [ Desperados ] over 3 years ago

I suppose yes, in language menu there are all available languages, I dont know if someone is missing but I dont think, they are many

RE: missing translation - Added by Bernhard Rohloff over 3 years ago

This sounds more like a Rails problem to me. A small portion of google foo got me to these URLs where they have kind of the same problem.

Perhaps you can extract some useful bit of it.
