sed -i -e 's/# de_DE\.UTF-8/de_DE.UTF-8/' /etc/locale.gen
dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=noninteractive locales
service apache2 restart

The above code in Debian will install the necessary locale.

Here is the code snippet from the lang/languages_installed.inc file:

$installed_languages = array (
  0 => 
  array (
    'code' => 'C',
    'name' => 'English',
    'encoding' => 'iso-8859-1',
  ),
  1 => 
  array (
    'code' => 'de_DE',
    'name' => 'German UTF8',
    'path' => 'lang/de_DE',
    'encoding' => 'utf-8',
    'version' => '2.3.0-3',
  ),
);

$dflt_lang = 'de_DE';

Make sure you have php5-gettext and php5-intl extensions installed and activated for your PHP.

To make the next steps.....I am somehow lost ....
About restarting the server ..... I donk know ...

Please help!

I hope I will figure it out today, before my boss kills me

Thanks,

Replace the lang/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/de_DE-2.3.0-3.mo file with this one from my Unofficial GitHub Repo.

FrontAccounting works now in German, and I can export .pdf files as well, but I still have a probleme.
In the exported .pdf files, some specific caracters like ö , ä , ü   ..... are not correct writed...those caracters are looking like this:
Ö = �
" ...  "  =  " ... "

What shoud I do to finaly fix this problem?

Thanks for helping me !

No , I dont have access to the linux command

I have to wait for them to configure the server properly.

One more thing....someone told me that can be possible to modify something in htaccess file. But he doesnt know what exacly.

Do you know something about that?

Thank you,
M

Do you have access to the linux command line interface? If so, paste the output of the command:

locale -a

If the German language is not present (de_DE), then enable it with:

sed -i -e 's/# de_DE UTF-8/de_DE UTF-8/' /etc/locale.gen
dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=noninteractive locales

Read the Wiki.

I hope they will move my hosting to another server with the same setings as before.

Thanks for reply. I just compared the backups, and look the same.
Yesterday evening I just rememberd that I received an Email from the Hosting Company a few days ago, regarding some software updates between 00:30 and 01:00 on 06.05.2015, exacly the day when FA stopped to work in another language except english.
I think thay made some Appache Server updates, SQL, or some new PHP Version.
My database is untouched, I have all my products, invoices, clients, suppliers, etc....just the language can not be changed.

Yesterday evening I installed a brand new FA on another domain, with a new database, and the same, I can not change the language, even if all language packs are there.

Any advices what to do next before contacting the Hosting Company ???

We use FA in out Company in German language, it was all great worked till yesterday.
Today I logged in FA to print some invoices and just sow that the application is in English, and I can not set it again in German.
I haven't made any modifications or updates since we use FA - 01.03.2015.
What'a happening? Can anyone explain?
In settings area I see that today "German" - is setted as unsuported language.

I need to use FA just in German language, because our customers are just Companys from Germany, Austria and Schweiz.

I have some backups from database and and all folders and files from FTP, I have also made a backup directly in FA, and I can select the last backup and click restore, but I'm affreid to lose all my work.

Can, please someone help us with some ideeas?

Thank you very much in advance,

DSS Vienna
