- Code: Select all
<locales>
<locale key="en_US" name="English"/>
<locale key="es_ES" name="Español (España)"/>

OJS still won't recognize es_ES as a language. Is there anything I can toggle to check what it might be missing?

Can't get OJS to recognize es_ES

In my dummy installation, I've put all of the es_ES files in their proper directories next to the en_US materials and changed the registry/locales.xml to have the following section:

Hello Sherman,
You need to install the new locale in the Site Administrator's Languages page; once this is done, it'll be available in the Journal Manager's Languages page. Once a language is installed and enabled in those places, it'll be available to users.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, the Languages page in the Site Administrator section doesn't give me an option to add es_ES (and please accept my apologies for the grungy formatting):
Install Languages
Installed Locales
* English (en_US)
Reload Locale
Install New Locales
Select any additional locales to install support for in this system. Locales must be installed before they can be used by hosted journals. See the OJS documentation for information on adding support for new languages.
No additional locales are available for installation.

Hello Sherman,
Check to ensure that your locales cache file isn't getting in the way; the web server needs to be able to write to this file. For OJS <= 2.0.2-1, the cache file is locale/cache/locales.inc.php. (If this is the case, you should be getting warning messages in your server log indicating that the file couldn't be overwritten.)

Hmmn... is the es_ES package complete?
by Sherman » Thu Dec 22, 2005 9:52 am
Yes, the locales.inc.php file is writeable, but I noticed that the \cache\ directory has an en_US.inc.php file. Is the es_ES localization package supposed to have that, too?

Hi Sherman,
All files in locale/cache are automatically generated by OJS from their source XML files; you shouldn't have to worry about them, other than ensuring that PHP has sufficient permissions to administer these files.
The problem probably relates to locale/cache/locales.inc.php -- could you check to see if this file contains an entry for the Spanish locale? If not, try deleting it and trying again; the file should be generated again from the registry/locales.xml file.
