Topic: changing the language

Hello!

I just installed FrontAccounting and wanted to change the language to german,
but this is not possible. Choosing Setup and  Install/Update Languages
I get an empty page like with any other item in this column.
How can I install the the german language?

The page is not empty. It just shows the menupoints inactive and I do not see
a chance to edit anything there.

Re: changing the language

Then go to the Access Roles, and switch on access to all security areas for your role, which probably should be set to 'Administrator'.

You mean Access setup in Company Setup? Everything there is activated
for System Administrator except for Allow entry on non closed Fiscal years
and Revenue / Cost Accruals.

I made a new installation and found out that if I choose
Install Additional Language Packs from FA Repository:
it comes to the next screen, but there is nothing to choose and the shown menus are inactive.

If I go back and deselect
Install Additional Language Packs from FA Repository:
I can continue with the installation.

Sorry, I don't know the reason. Providing you have http access to frontaccounting.eu domain during installation process all should work. I have tested it just moment ago and all gone without problems.

Re: changing the language

Hello,

I have a similar problem to that of porrier. I would like to have Spanish as the system language.

-> I log in as 'admin'  for the first company
-> I go to setup and install Spanish COA - ISO
-> Create a new company, and set database script to Spanish COA-ISO
-> Create a new user and assign his language as Spanish - Chile
-> Log out and login as the new user for this new company
     At this point the COA accounts are in Spanish
-> Display settings are set to Spanish (Chile) however the screen texts are all in English

How can I set the screen texts to Spanish?

From the Linux console I find that the file es_CL-2.3.0-1.po in the directory   /var/www/frontaccounting/lang/es_CL/LC_MESSAGES includes the correct texts for the screen display.

Thank you
