TangoCMS and Localization
  • Hello, Every one.
    Through past month I have installed a lot of Open Source CMS Systems , to start some study about their features and functions, this is first time I installed TangoCMS and I found that It is Awesome one. I understand that the TangoCMS have enabled the Multi-language feature in version 2.4. I want to share my try in Enable Arabic interface of TangoCMS. and I Hope that TangoCMS team will help us in these steps or correct me if there is any problem in my method.

    I think we have to understand TangoCMS Structure Before any modifications. I want to discuss this under the TangoCMS 2.6.1 let us start.

    - First of all, I have downloaded ".mo" files, from the launchpad, where TangoCMS team post their project for translation purposes.
    https://translations.launchpad.net/tangocms/trunk
    I have downloaded the .mo files , of Arabic language
    - I extracted the launchpad file "launchpad-export.tar.gz" and I found "ar" language directory
    - I copy the "ar" directory for Arabic Language
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    - I Explore TangoCMS on web server , IIS under the root directory I found this folder :
    "root_directory/TangoCMS_directory/application/locale/"
    I found "index.html" , I think this for security purposes.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    - In this directory "locale" I past "ar" language directory.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    - So it will be like this
    "root_directory/TangoCMS_directory/application/locale/lang_directory_name/LC_MESSAGES"
    e.g. "root_directory/TangoCMS_directory/application/locale/ar/LC_MESSAGES"
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I was logged into AdminCP ->settings->Locale
    under Locale (i18n)
    we can install the new language interface into system using
    "Install language package"
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I was tried to explore the log directory "tangCMS_directory/application/logs"

    I found the log file "2011-08-31_zula.log"

    [2011-08-31T01:44:32+03:00] [::1 | uid 2] [warning] -- (unknown:0) failed to get list of locales, check "allow_url_fopen"

    I checked this feature (allow_url_fopen) in php.ini files and I found it enabled.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I hope of you to correct me if there are any problems with these steps.

    And I hope other people to take advantage from my simple experience.

    Advance Thanks.
  • Hello,

    Unfortunately the file you downloaded is going to be very out of date. You wont be able to install this through the admin control panel. There is currently no way to change the interface language, sorry.

  • Sorry to hear that , is there any planning to provide this feature in next release?

    Thanks AlexC
  • An announcement on the homepage in the next week or so will answer this question :) Sorry to be vague.
  • My apologies for being another person to ask, but... anything? I have the feeling development on TangoCMS has stalled in general. Am I right?

    Cheers,
    Robert
