Hi Paul - now in English as asked by the moderator.

I tried to include es_EC.ISO-8859-1 in my "supported.d-local" file and after that the "reconfigure" gave no error.

¿Perhaps you have not installed the locale es_EC?

Try "locale -a" to give you the list of installed languages.  If es_EC does not appear, write :

sudo locale-gen es_EC

to generate the Ecuatorian locale and repeat the "reconfigure".

Sorry for my very late reply. Thanks a lot for your help.

sudo gedit /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local

The file should look something like this:

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
xx_XX.UTF-8 UTF-8

where xx_XX is your local language (in my case es_Ni i.e. Spanish Nicaragua).

Add the ISO.8859-1 so it looks like this

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US.ISO-8859-1
xx_XX.UTF-8 UTF-8
xx_XX.ISO-8859-1

Save the file, reconfigure locales with:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Restart MySQL:

sudo service mysql restart

Open FA and it should now be in your selected language (supposing you have already installed the language and chosen it under "preferences").

and

There a small error in the text:

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US.ISO-8859-1
xx_XX.UTF-8 UTF-8

must be:
Add the ISO.8859-1 so it looks like this

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US.ISO-8859-1 iso-8859-1
xx_XX.UTF-8 UTF-8
xx_XX.ISO-8859-1 iso-8859-1

For me, the iso must be in normal letters, not in capitals to get it to work.
Good luck with it.

Install/Update Languages

error:   Display also languages not supported by server locales

Just change the /lang/installed_languages.inc file.

After install “FrontAccount” on a Ubuntu box, I notice that my chose language (brasiliian portuguese) do not showed up. Using “locale” to see what I have in my box, I've got:
 
root@ubuntu-server:~# locale -a
C
POSIX
pt_BR.utf8
pt_PT.utf8

For that reason I start to try figure out why. After some readings I decide to change my “../lang/installed_languages.inc” file like this:

    'encoding' => 'utf-8', 
# 'encoding' => 'iso-8859-1',

and it works beautifully.

I tried to include es_EC.ISO-8859-1 in my "supported.d-local" file and after that the "reconfigure" gave no error.

Try "locale -a" to give you the list of installed languages.  If es_EC does not appear, write :

sudo locale-gen es_EC

to generate the Ecuatorian locale and repeat the "reconfigure".

Yo traté ahora en mi sistema de incluir es_EC.ISO-8859-1 a mi fichero "supported.d-local" y el "reconfigure" salió sin error.

¿Será que no tienes instalado el locale es_EC?

Intente la orden "locale -a" que te dará la lista de idiomas instalados.  Si no aparece el es_EC, escriba:

sudo locale-gen es_EC

para generar el locale Ecuatoriano y repita el "reconfigure".

Yo traté ahora en mi sistema de incluir es_EC.ISO-8859-1 a mi fichero

Luego de modificar el archivo local, al ejecturar el reconfigure locales obtengo el siguiente error:

Error: Bad entry 'es_EC.ISO-8859-1 '

¿Alguna sugerencia?

Saludos

Description of the problem:  In FA, if you go to settings and language, only Chinese locale is shown as "supported".  If you tick the "show unsupported locales" and install the language pack you need (in my case Spanish), nothing changes - the text is still in English only.  After much search and dabbling with the different locale files, I stumbled over the solution.  What happens is that Ubuntu based systems (including Mint) default to Unicode UTF8, and the FA language packages are ISO-8859-1. So this need to be added to the supported locales in Ubuntu/Mint:

Open a terminal and write

sudo gedit /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local

The file should look something like this:

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
xx_XX.UTF-8 UTF-8

where xx_XX is your local language (in my case es_Ni i.e. Spanish Nicaragua).

Add the ISO.8859-1 so it looks like this

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US.ISO-8859-1
xx_XX.UTF-8 UTF-8
xx_XX.ISO-8859-1

Save the file, reconfigure locales with:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Restart MySQL:

sudo service mysql restart

Open FA and it should now be in your selected language (supposing you have already installed the language and chosen it under "preferences").
