Change Language Settings
Submitted by thinkaboutittwice on Fri, 04/04/2008 - 08:46.
Hi everybody,
I try to install the german translation files on my project pier, but it doesn't work out. I transferred the files via ftp to /language-folder and tried to open /config/config.php to change the language settings (like the readme-file says), but all I get is a white screen.
Since the matter is really urgent I would appreciate if you could help me asap.
Thank you,
thinkaboutit
Hi thinkaboutit,
when you say you tried to open the file config/config.php, do you mean opening http://youserver.com/projectpier/config/config.php in a web browser?
If so, that's why you see a white page. What the doc means by "open the file" is opening it in a text editor and change the value there.

Of course i tried to open it in an editor, but there is only one line of code that says:
"
<?phpreturn false;
?>
"
Hello,
You have to run the install script of the application first, this will add some constants to the /config/config.php file (database, URL of your site, localization).
(The process may ask you to CHMOD the file at a step)
Be sure Project Pier is working in English before making the change, /then/ correct the newly created line define('DEFAULT_LOCALIZATION', 'en_us'); to the language of your choice.
Regards,
Michel.
