About changin interface language
Permalink
Sometimes I love Concrete sometimes it just really gets so confusing :-) Still very good job guys ..
Now, I'm getting lost again trying to find out some basic info ... I want to change the interface language from english to spanish ... but I cannot find any clear doc about this ... It's all a bit confusing, with no real differentiation between, "multilingual" add on which allows to translate the site content. As far as the interface is concerned, I found a language pack a needed , uploaded it to the "language" folder but when I go to the site settings I get "You don't have any interface languages installed" ... The question is how do I install it ? Do we need to make this choice upon installation with no way to switch ?
Many thanks !

Hello,
Your language pack should be a file named "messages.mo". I'm gonna give you a step-by-step, and I'll use pt_PT as an example.
- Create the needed folders so that you have the following folder structure:
wwwroot/languages/pt_PT/LC_MESSAGES/messages.mo
(mind the uppercases)
- Edit the file wwwroot/config/site.php
- Add the following line:
Note that the value for the LOCALE must match the folder name on the languages folder!
Your Concrete5 installation should now be on the language you installed.
