how to set multi-lang server setting

[benbyf]

get this warning and am unsure even with the nice warning what to do here, the links dont seem to help - want to set eh site to FR and not the whole server as it is a shared server:

Warning: your server locale is undefined and may cause issues. Please translate the “C” locale setting for each language to the proper locale in /wire/modules/LanguageSupport/LanguageSupport.module (shortcuts provided below):
• English
• Française
For example, the locale setting for US English might be: en_US.UTF-8

Hi @benbyf

See this comment: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/15691-warning-about-server-locale-after-update-from-3052-3053-help/?do=findComment&comment=143552

and the related docs: https://processwire.com/api/ref/languages/set-locale/

Does this help?

Thanks, those seem like they would help but still getting the warning. I've set the two lang's to fr_FR.UTF-8 and en_EN.UTF-8 respectively in the admin, and added setlocale(LC_ALL, "fr_FR.UTF-8"); to the config, but doesnt seem to make a difference...?

Hi @benbyf,

Put setlocale(LC_ALL, "fr_FR.UTF-8");  into ready.php.

I believe you need to put this in your /site/config.php file

@benbyf, have you looked at the first link @szabesz posted?

 

[benbyf]

Yep, and I have fr_FR.UTF-8 in the C field for french  and en_EN.UTF-8 for the english and setlocale ( LC_ALL, "fr_FR.UTF-8"); set in my config but the warning persists.

But are those locales available on your server?

??? no idea, in what way?

AFAIK, only English is installed by default (at least on Digital Ocean servers) so I always went up "sshing" and installing my Portuguese ones ?

Check in your shared server panel docs if they have more locales installed.

If you have command line access, try:

locale -a

This lets you know the available locales in the server. There might also be a PHP way I guess. If the ones you need are missing, you are going to have to install them.

Not an expert on this field but I've done it on a few servers and it's not very complicated googling a little bit (also asumming you're not on shared hosting and have shell  access to the server to make this installation).

YESSSS thank you, this did the trick. I ssh'ed into my server and added the fr_FR langs and now the warning has gone... ?

I was also getting the same warning for a dual English/French install I'm working on. First time using multi-language.

I had setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_GB.utf8"); in site/config.php, and had set the values in LanguageSupport "C" fields as the error requests (en_GB.utf8 & fr_FR.utf8). Still getting the error message on login.

SSH checked the locales using locale -a, and they were listed. Hmm...

Tried a few things, but what worked for me was putting setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_GB.utf8", "fr_FR.utf8"); in site_ready.php. Error message now gone - hurrah!
