Hi George,

Have you added anything to ~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/languages.pl?

By default it’s something like:

$c->{defaultlanguage} = 'en';

$c->{languages} = [ 'en' ];

 

You should add the new language in  the second option e.g.:

$c->{languages} = [ 'en', 'el' ];

 

The newer way of doing things is shown in this EPrints Bazaar package (unfortunately for Spanish, not Greek): http://bazaar.eprints.org/227/ . In the file x_lang_es.pl, it achieves the same thing with:

push @{$c->{languages}},'es';

 

I’d take this Bazaar package as a base for how to do things – e.g. which files would need to be translated.

Many of the phrases would exist in the 3.0 translation you’ve installed – but some won’t.

 

Let me know if that gets you any further down the path – and we can go from there!

 

Cheers,

John

 

PS I don’t have any real experience of working with multi-lingual repositories – but have tried to learn bits!

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:
