#1845 How to translate the day names in german?

[Thomas S.]

Hi

MRBS version: 1.7.1

I noticed that the translation for the days in the calendar view doesn't work for german (the days are always in enlish).
How can i fix that or do i have to upgrade?

Best,
Thomas

The day names should be translated automatically depending on your locale. Your locale is determined automatically from your browser language settings, or else by the setting of $override_locale.

What are your browser language preferences (the information is on the MRBS Help page)?
What are $disable_automatic_language_changing, $default_language_tokens and $override_locale set to?

Hi

This is v1.7.3 by the way.

$disable_automatic_language_changing = 1;

$default_language_tokens = "de";

$override_locale -> not set

Cheers

Either set

$disable_automatic_language_changing = false;

This will mean that MRBS will use the preferred language of your users. Or else set

$override_locale = 'deu';  // if you have a Windows server
$override_locale = 'de_DE.utf-8';  // if you have a UNIX server

This will mean that MRBS is always in German.

I set
$override_locale = 'de_DE.utf-8'; // if you have a UNIX server

and the result is like before. Everything is in german, except for the days of the week as well as the abbreviations i.e. "Sep" for september.

I also could not find any translations in the lang.de file

There are no translations in lang.de because the text comes from the system according to your locale. Have a look in your PHP error logs. Are you getting a message "Server failed to set locale to ..."?

Hi

On my Ubuntu VM i had to enable it:

sudo locale-gen de_DE.UTF-8
service apache2 restart

Then it worked. Thanks a lot!
