Language files in whm11

[areh]

I'm trying to translate a language file, but there seems to be something wrong. I have tried to ways to translate the system, but none of them works unless I edit the english language file directly.

First, I tried cloning a language file (the utf-8 version). This created an empty file. I wanted to have the english strings as template, so I deleted it again.

Now, I downloaded the x3 template, renamed it to norwegian-utf8. When trying to upload/create new language file now, I got a success message and the location of the file

"C:\diverse\norwegian-utf8 at /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x3/lang/C:\diverse\norwegian-utf8"

I can now see norwegian-utf8 everywhere in dropdown menues, but this disables all the dropdown menues and I can't even edit the default english one. The dropdowns shows the entire local path to my file (the file on my own harddrive) for some reason, maybe this is causing the problem? Update: I logged into my account and the file was saved as C:\diverse.. on the server! So there is a bug with this. I renamed the file from C:\diverse.. to norwegian-utf-8 on the server itself after upload. This fixed the dropdown.

There also seems to be other problems (templates cloned from a template looses it connection to a theme). As long as you stick with english, it works, but when changing it..

Now, after doing manual work on files on server to get it to work, I can not get the norwegian-utf8 to appear in the dropdown in the Edit user/account language window. Only the english ones are displayed, even though the x3 template is selected for this user and the language file exists.

I'm running Release version.

Hi

I did the same thing yesterday, but did not have this problem. At least in WHM it looks good and i can edit the language. But in the cpanel theme, i can choose the language, but then nothing happens. It says that the language is changed, but when I go back to the language page, I see that still the english language is choosen.

It's a shame that such a nice controllpanel solution don't have the money to find some real translaters who create at least the most important language files. On lang.cpanel.net, it looks like none of the existing language files where working with X3 theme.

I can also edit the language files for the frontend now, but I can't assign the language file to any cPanel account.

Is it something I'm doing wrong?

I do not get norwegian-utf8 in the dropdown list when I change an account, I only get the english and english-utf8.

I have tried this on two seperate servers running latest Release version.

I do get the norwegian-utf8 in the "Installed language" list for the x3 template, which I'm using for all accounts:

Language ↓ / tree x x3 x3mail
english
english-utf8
norwegian-utf8

I have started translating the english language file (to norwegian) to get around this bug. However, not even the english language can be modifed, even the language is in the language file (just a few of them gave visible change cPanel frontend). It looks like the language strings have been put as they should in the language files, but it hasn't been updated in the html templates! That doesn't help much

This seems very buggy and just like previous versions that stopped me from translating those for years too.. it is useless in current state. Either do it complete or do not bother to have the language tools at all. That's my opinion.

I'd start by going to clone a language file

clicking on english-utf8 and calling it norwegian-utf8

once you've done that, edit it for the root and x3 themes

 

[CoolMike]

What's the reason for the root file? In the x3 file we have all the text for the x3 theme, why is there a root file needed?

It has some whm keys for the things that have been translated, and all the keys that are shared between x,x2, and x3.

Just at the end (below) of your translations page in the left bottom in that page you see a little button with the txt SAVE, push it and all your hard work will be saved.

Are you using the live editor, or the whm editor?

Are you using firefox 1.5, 2.x or 3.x ?

Difficult to understand


Step by step
1. Clone/Create a New Language
2. Language: english-utf8 File/theme: Root, Addons & All Themes
3. Theme(s): [root and addon specific language files] (/) , tree , x , x2 , x3 , x3mail , xmail
Target (new) Language: norwegian-utf8
4. Copy/Clone

So far, so good. See output #1 below for full response from system. The norwegian-utf8 is now optionable in the "Change account" feature in WHM.

Now, I go into editor

1. Edit a Language File
2. "Select a language to edit". Only norwegian-utf8 in file/theme Root langauge file is chooseable (can't edit spesific on x3, like you can if you choose english-utf8). So I though that I maybe needed to clone the x3 also (but only one clone is allowed, when I tried to create a clone only of x3, it says that is is already created. If I delete the cloned Root, Addons & All Themes, then I can clone it, but then I'm also missing strings).
3. I edit the norwegian-utf8/Root langauge file, as it is the only one optionable in the dropdown. I use IE and tried to search, but I can't find "Main Domain" and other important strings I can find in english language file. Also, it seems like the language file is missing several strings.

I have created, deleted and recreated this process again and again. I have also tried to only edit x3 theme, but anyhow I do it, I end up missing strings that is in the original english one?

/usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/iconic/lang/norwegian-utf8
/usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x3mail/lang/norwegian-utf8

After walking forward and backwards in the system, I finally got it to show norwegian and utf-8. Since it is very difficult to edit langauge file from the editor in whm, I downloaded the utf-8 langauge files both for root and x3.

When I upload a language file after I have downloaded it to correct something, it is stored like this on the server:

"Installed C:\tmp\lang\x3\norwegian-utf8 at /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x3/lang/C:\tmp\lang\x3\norwegian-utf8"

So the local path becomes the filename (see c:\tmp\lang..), instead of just the filename. So you basically can't edit a language file and then re-upload it with changes.

 

[areh]

I have started editing the langauge files manually and using ftp for transfering them.

I have been able to find most language strings, but one example of text that is in the langauge file, but that is not shown in my langauge is below. All the other text on the same page couild be translated.

How can I set the default language for some theme, for all cPanel accounts. I just can't find such option...

 

[internetfab]

That option does not yet exist. If you would like to see this functionality added to cPanel/WHM, please vote for the following bug:

Additionally, add yourself as CC so you are informed of updates regarding the implementation of this functionality.
