Hi!
I've asked server administrator to recheck server setting and make fresh install of OJS.
After it everything working fine
So I'm not sure what caused the problem but it was on our side.
Thank you for quick support!

Hello all,

I couldn't find anything remotely related to my current predicament, so I add it to this post (which does not provide a solution!!).

A journal requesting our support is also running into this issue.
The language block only shows in some of the administration pages, mainly the configuration ones.
Any other page, the block is not displayed (public pages or not).

Is this a database-related issue?
Is it a cache/permissions issue?
Is it a possible template/CSS/source code modification issue?

What are the symptoms for each type of situation, if any have differences?

I don't have access to it the database, but have the admin access:
OS: Linux
PHP : 5.2.6-1+lenny16
Apache: Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny16 with Suhosin-Patch
MySQL: 5.0.51a-24+lenny5

What is the expected result from the query Alec provided (? The only multilingual journal has English and Portuguese enabled for all options (forms, interface, submissions).
Has anything changed from the way OxS handles languages ? it used to display the interface in the selected language and the translation/original/none if no translation was available.

This is what I get from a local 2.3.7 with English + Porguese (PHP Array Export from PHPMyAdmin):

Code: Select all

// teste_v2370_sb.journal_settings
$journal_settings = array(
  array('journal_id'=>'1','locale'=>'','setting_name'=>'supportedLocales','setting_value'=>'a:2:{i:0;s:5:"en_US";i:1;s:5:"pt_BR";}','setting_type'=>'object'),
  array('journal_id'=>'1','locale'=>'','setting_name'=>'supportedFormLocales','setting_value'=>'a:1:{i:0;s:5:"pt_BR";}','setting_type'=>'object'),
  array('journal_id'=>'1','locale'=>'','setting_name'=>'supportedSubmissionLocales','setting_value'=>'a:2:{i:0;s:5:"en_US";i:1;s:5:"pt_BR";}','setting_type'=>'object'),
  array('journal_id'=>'3','locale'=>'','setting_name'=>'supportedLocales','setting_value'=>'a:1:{i:0;s:5:"pt_BR";}','setting_type'=>'object'),
  array('journal_id'=>'3','locale'=>'','setting_name'=>'supportedFormLocales','setting_value'=>'a:1:{i:0;s:5:"pt_BR";}','setting_type'=>'object'),
  array('journal_id'=>'3','locale'=>'','setting_name'=>'supportedSubmissionLocales','setting_value'=>'a:1:{i:0;s:5:"pt_BR";}','setting_type'=>'object'),
  array('journal_id'=>'4','locale'=>'','setting_name'=>'supportedLocales','setting_value'=>'a:1:{i:0;s:5:"pt_BR";}','setting_type'=>'object'),

Hi!
Have you enabled languages in Journal manager -> Languages menu?

[Garant]

Hi all!
At this moment we need to make a URL redirection depending of language.
For example journal.site.com must redirect to ojs.site.com
journale.site.com must also redirect to ojs.site.com but with already selected not default locale. At this moment we have 2 locales installed.
As I see switching the locale doesn't affect current URL. How this could be done? How locale switching could be traced?
Thank you!

Hi Garant,

See http://pkp.sfu.ca/support/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3799#p14551 for some discussion on setting the locale with a link.

Hi, asmecher!
Thank you!

Hi!
Have you enabled languages in Journal manager -> Languages menu?

The only multilingual journal has English and Portuguese enabled for all options (forms, interface, submissions).

For these to show up, multiple languages need to be added by the admin, which they are.
The language selector displays in the Journal Configuration steps, but not on any other page.
I added English to one of the configuration pages, assuming it would have an impact, but no.
Could this be related to user language options, meaning, the user needs to choose multiple languages as well, otherwise OJS only shows the user's native/selected language?

Hi Ramón,

Two quick thoughts come to mind:

• Is there a permissions problem in cache/? Try deleting all .php files there and making sure the directory permissions are set such that they can be re-generated.
• Is the language selector plugin registered in the DB? Check to see if it's present in the versions table. If it's not, you probably have an incompletely upgraded system.
