[EP-tech] Re: Antwort: Multilingual site

Martin, hi and thanks for your answer!

I have generated static, the html folder of my deposit has been populated with the correct html files (I've looked into their content), and when I select the Greek language through an href (on an image), as I said, it displays the "language has changed" page in Greek, but when I click on any link (menu, whatever) the content served is in English.

I have used Chrome, Firefox and Opera and it won't work in any of them.

I have to re-inform you that I installed the Greek translation (which is for a previous version of eprints, 3.0) without using any guide, which means that I just copied the folders contained in the zip file where it seemed appropriate (./lib/defaultcfg and ./lib/lang in the eprints folder, and cfg/lang/el in the specific archive). As I read in eprints' documentation regarding previous versions (<3), a few stuff needed to be done in order to install translations, that didn't seem "compatible" with my version. Maybe I am missing something here...

If not, then I am not sure what part of eprints' core functionality fails and doesn't load the language correctly or if the problem is related to the set_lang script.

Thanks again for your answer!

PS. I wasn't sure about the activity of this list, so a few hours ago (before receiving your answer) I started an analogous question in stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30254057/eprints-multilingual-site

Hi,

two questions come to my mind:

- did you run bin/generate_static  your_repo --prune    ?
- which browser did you use to test? Safari sends a slightly different Accept-Language token in the HTTP header, which is not properly recognized by Repository.pm.

A possible patch is:

Modified: trunk/src/core/perl_lib/EPrints/Repository.pm
