If you are playing with statusnet, I bet you could not change default language; English language just shows every where. So I’d like to write a quick guide to show you how to change perferred langguage as zh_cn. I have a Ubuntu server with only English language pack. [bash] root@lamp www/statusnet# locale -a C POSIX en_GB [/bash]
I searched and install Chinese language pack by aptitide [bash] root@lamp www/statusnet# aptitude search language-pack-zh p language-pack-zh - translations for language Chinese (dummy package) p language-pack-zh-base - translations for language Chinese (dummy package) P language-pack-zh-hans - translation updates for language Simplified Chinese P language-pack-zh-hans-base - translations for language Simplified Chinese p language-pack-zh-hant - translation updates for language Traditional Chinese p language-pack-zh-hant-base - translations for language Traditional Chinese root@lamp www/statusnet# aptitude install language-pack-zh-hans-base [/bash]
Then I checked it again [bash] root@lamp www/statusnet# locale -a C POSIX en_GB zh_CN.utf8 zh_SG.utf8 [/bash]
Ubuntu OS has translations for language Simplified Chinese right, then I go ahead to configure statusnet config.php file. It only needs one more line as below, you can use your own language. [php] $config[‘site’][’language’] = ‘zh_CN’; [/php]
The final step, you login statusnet as administrator and go to /admin/site. Then you will select your language from dropdown list. I spend a few days to fix this problem. Just today, I realized my problem is Ubuntu linux server does not have Chinese Language pack yet. Show you my art as below :)
