Hello,

I have just installed Alfresco and begin learning about it.

In the manuals and forums I've read that you can choose a language at login, but in my login page there is only one option to choose: "english". There is no more languages to choose.

I've taken a look at the directories, and the files at "messages" directory
are for different languages, and the options in the file web-client-config-custom.xml are for different languages as well (by the way, english is not in the list).

Why is english the only choice?

Thanks

It is described in the Wiki:

Adding Languages
To add another language to the drop down list in the login page add the following to web-client-config-custom.xml:

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Languages">
   <languages>
      <language locale="fr_FR">French</language>
   </languages>
</config>‍‍‍‍‍

It worked for me this way though I have always selected "english" as default in my Alfreco 2.1 installation on a Linuxbox but I do not care about that very much.

Greetings,
Carsten

Hello,

thanks by the answer, but I have already tried that point.

My file web-client-config-custom.xml has this content:

   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Languages">
      <languages>
         <language locale="ca_ES">Catalan</language>
         <language locale="hr_HR">Croatian</language>
         <language locale="cs_CZ">Czech</language>
         <language locale="da_DK">Danish</language>
         <language locale="de_DE">German</language>
         <language locale="es_ES">Spanish</language>
         <language locale="el_GR">Greek</language>
         <language locale="fi_FI">Finnish</language>
         <language locale="fr_FR">French</language>
         <language locale="it_IT">Italian</language>
         <language locale="ja_JP">Japanese</language>
         <language locale="du_NL">Dutch</language>
         <language locale="pl_PL">Polish</language>
         <language locale="pt_PT">Portuguese</language>
         <language locale="pt_BR">Portuguese (Brazilian)</language>
         <language locale="ru_RU">Russian</language>
         <language locale="sv_SV">Swedish</language>
         <language locale="tr_TR">Turkish</language>
         <language locale="zh_CN">Simplified Chinese</language>
      </languages>
   </config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

as you can see, there are many languages in that list, but only "English" as choose in login page.

Btw, English doesn't appear in the list above.

Are you sure that it is really web-client-config-custom.xml and not something like web-client-config-custom.xml.example? Right now I do not have access to my system but if I remember it right then I had to rename the file to web-client-config-custom.xml.

Another possibility would be that the part is commented out. Did you check that?

If you made any changes you have to restart alfresco in order to take effect.

P.S.: I am neither an Alfresco nor Tomcat expert.
