Translation: Language mix?

[stefankeidel]

If there is no preferred label in the current locale (de_DE in your case) it falls back to whatever is available, in no particular order.

You could define the fallback order in global.conf. There should be a line like this

locale_defaults = [__CA_DEFAULT_LOCALE__]

__CA_DEFAULT_LOCALE__ is from setup.php. You can change that to whatever order you prefer, e.g.

locale_defaults = [de_DE, en_US, fr_FR]

You could also add a German translation for these profiles, obviously.

Thanks for the tip!

It seems to have no effect when I edit "app/locale/de_DE/messages.po" or "app/profile/{dublincore.xml, base.xml}"

How can I force the web-UI to update/refresh its language strings?

Are you generating a messages.mo file from the .po file?

[kehh]

Also you have to run the installation again after editing the profile file.
Another way around it is to delete the labels from the database that don't
relate to one of the locales that you are using. But that can be messy and
I don't recommend it.

I just answered your question on Transifex in German. It includes a description of the process (generating the *.mo and flushing the cache).

Editing the profile doesn't have any effect until you reinstall the system with that profile. These files are just for the initial setup.

Thanks! Will check your instructions on Transifex :)
