Topic: Installation is still only in english

It may not be the right place to post it but I don't know if it fits on feature request, bugs or discussions…
It's probably not a "bug", just hasn't been done yet…
Installation is only available in English
A list of available languages or a drop-down menu on installation page would be great smile

Re: Installation is still only in english

There are no language packs for the 1.3 yet, but I'm sure there will be when it's released!

Re: Installation is still only in english

Yeah this is something that was missing in 1.2 aswell, I know it's only for the admin to install it, but still.. if the admin is not english, could cause problemms for him/her smile

Re: Installation is still only in english

there are some people who have made language packs for 1.3 although not too many, and they will most likely be broken after paul has finished his work and the 1.3beta3 is released, as far as i know there should be available language packs for 1.2 available.

after 1.3beta3 is released i'm sure there are many people who would be happy to start with making the translations wink

I think what he's saying is that on the install file itself, there is no way to choose the language to display the page with.

Exactly.
Although, its not a bug report, its more like a feature request wink

Re: Installation is still only in english

You are right, liquidat0r.
We (at fluxbb.fr) are working on a french language pack. There is already an install.php file in it, (but) wich is not used by install.php as there is no way to choose the language.
This new feature (an install.php language file) seems very interesting and well thought : it localize the installation page plus it defines some things for the database (first post, group names, …)

I'm just impatient to try it smile

Re: Installation is still only in english

Wait a minute, can someone please confirm this: There are no language files for 1.3????????????

I just upgraded from PUNBB (a Spanish forum) and I downloaded a language pack from here and it didnt work..

So now I come across this post... Anyone confirm what the situation is on this?

Re: Installation is still only in english

There aren't any language packs for 1.3 because it isn't finished. Once it's finished, there will be new ones.

Re: Installation is still only in english

fluxBB 1.2.x have languagepacks
fluxBB 1.3beta does not have languagepacks yet but you could make the translation yourself i you need it

Re: Installation is still only in english

At the moment the install script is designed to be translatable just like all the other pages, though as liquidat0r pointed out there isn't an option to choose which language pack to use (it is hard-coded to just use the English one).

I see no reason not to add a menu to let the admin choose which language pack to use from a list of installed ones, though I am going to move this to Feature Requests.
