Hi Mark,
I'm setting up a XWiki 7.4 site with a pt_BR
localization and am updating
empty translations as I go along according to our use cases. In the process
I've run into a couple of problems.
Firstly, on the Blog Archive panel, the months are being displayed in
English. If I log into l10.xwiki.org and do a search for existing
translation keys like the following:
Original text: January
Language: pt_BR
Status: Not dead
Other fields all blank
the result returned has two keys, both of which are translated.
How can I do the translation for the months in the blog panel? Note that if
I switch the localization to another language such as fr, I see that the
months are translated properly.
I can reproduce this. The month printed in the Blog.Archive page seems not to take the
current locale into account.
If one creates a test page with only the content:
{{velocity}}
#set($monthFormatter = $xwiki.jodatime.getDateTimeFormatterForPattern('MMMM'))
#set($tempDate = $xwiki.jodatime.mutableDateTime)
$monthFormatter.print($tempDate)
{{/velocity}}
and then viewing this page and appending "language=pt_BR" to the URL shows the
month in English;
however appending "language=pt" shows it in Portuguese.
Extend the check:
{{velocity}}
#set($monthFormatter = $xwiki.jodatime.getDateTimeFormatterForPattern('MMMM'))
#set($tempDate = $xwiki.jodatime.mutableDateTime)
$monthFormatter.print($tempDate)
Language: $xcontext.getContext().get('locale').getLanguage() /
$xcontext.getContext().get('locale').getDisplayLanguage()
Country: $xcontext.getContext().get('locale').getCountry()
{{/velocity}}
and one can see that for "language=pt" it correctly reports language as "pt
/ Portuguese" (and Country as empty)
but for language=pt_BR
one wrongly gets a language as "pt_br" (and no country). That is not looking
good :(
I can reproduce the issue with 6.4.7, so it is not a very recent thing.
Interestingly only the "locale" object in the "context as map" is
wrong, with the "$xcontext.getContext().getLocale()" everything works fine.
So either the jodatime plugin uses a deprecated API with the context.get('locale')
or the calculation in that context.get('locale') should be fixed.
I guess I should know what is the case, but I have to admit I dont :(
Secondly, on the live tables on my soon to be production instance, the range
phrase at the top of the live tables (such as the User Index) is showing up
half English/half Portuguese as 'Results 1-10 out of 40 por página de 10'.
If I switch the language to fr, the problem remains with the phrase showing
up as 'Results 1-10 out of 40 par page de 10'. But if I set up a clean
instance of XWiki, I see that the phrases are translated properly for both
pt_BR and fr. Clearly, I've been futzing with something(s) that I should not
have touched. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to diagnose the
problem and restore the system to its proper behaviour?
That is a tough one; the actual translations are in the
ApplicationResources_pt_BR.properties
which is a file packages in one of the *.jar- files in the WEB-INF/lib directory (I think
it is xwiki-platform-legacy-oldcore-7.4.jar)
The translation keys are either
platform.livetable.paginationResults=Resultados
or:
platform.livetable.paginationResultsMany=Resultados <span
class\="currentResultsNo">{0} - {1}</span> de <span
class\="totalResultsNo">{2}</span>
it is possible that you have installed any extension that overwrites these keys?
(You can try to search for "platform.livetable.paginationResults*" in the normal
wiki search; do not forget to set "Display hidden documents" to try in you user
preferences page)
hope this helps a little
