Pootle Server in Native Language

Hi,

The pootle server codes in github indicates that it supports many other languages in the UI, but when I open the TDF Pootle Server, it's always in English. Could someone investigate? I want it to show as Simplified Chinese (zh_CN) UI if the browser language is in in Simplified Chinese.

This is a "regression", in previous pootle versions it did show Chinese UI.

This is important, as currently I am trying to gather the people from some of the "minority" nationalities here in China (Uighur, Mongolian etc) to help translating LibreOffice into their native language. For them, they may speek good Chinese, but they may not understand English. If the pootle UI can display as Chinese, I can guide them through to add "Simplified Chinese" in the "Alternative Source Languages" list, so that they can start translating using Chinese as reference language.

Hi,

I can confirm that for Upper Sorbian, Lower Sorbian and German. Interestingly the time words (days, weeks, months) for Last Activity are displayed translated.

That should work now, let me know if you still meet issues.

Hi Sophie,

thank you, it works again for all three languages I mentioned now.

It works now.

And I am trying to revising the translations for pootle itself, to fix some errors and finish the untranslated strings. Do we need to wait for pootle for a new release to make the new translations shown, or can we do it on TDF side by fetching the new po files directly?
