Obtaining and installing a language pack

I'm a beginner. Have had an unsuccessful (non-exhaustive) look at the documentation and forums.

Have installed Alfresco in English, but most of our users are French speakers. How can I add and configure language support for them ?

Thanks,

Michael Lawson

Hi,

Assuming you are using the tomcat 1.2 bundle:

1. Download the lang pack: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143373&package_id=162536

2. Extract it to c:\alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\messages, or whever you installed Alfresco to (following the path structure).

3. In C:\alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\web-client-config-custom.xml.sample edit the section

   <!–
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Languages">
      <languages>
         <language locale="fr_FR">French</language>
         <language locale="de_DE">German</language>
         <language locale="ja_JP">Japanese</language>
      </languages>
   </config>
   –>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Take the comment off, and remove the langages you don't want.

4. Rename the file, take the .sample off the end - so it ends with .xml

5. Restart Tomcat, and enjoy using Alfresco in French.
