I did the following: * I go into "Preferences" page * In the "Account Preferences" section * I change the setting "Available Languages" to "Italian" and click "Update Preferences" button I expected all the text to be magically changed to Italian texts but nothing like that happened. I have installed "gettext" and "mbstring" modules in PHP 5.2.1 (on WinXP+Apache2.2.4 combination). After going through the available help in the Eventum Wiki, I checked that the appropriate .po and .mo files to be very much there in dir. <eventum-2.0.1>/misc/localization/it_IT/LC_MESSAGES. What am I missing? Is my understanding of the "out-of-the-box" localization correct? Please help.

But no change. I am still getting the default English texts. Anything else I should try?

Correct. That's how it works. No problems here (LAMP enviromnent). Is it a new "clean" install or an update? Did you enable error/warning display?

Once again, I feel the WIKI has to be updated for Windows-specific issues. I did the following: 1. I changed the APP_GETTEXT_MODE from "native" to "php" in <eventum-2.0.1>/config/config.php 2. In the same file, I changed APP_DEFAULT_LOCALE to "it_IT" 3. Now, all the Text Labels were magically changed to Italian!! SUCCESS Once again, my setup is on WindowsXP-SP2+Apache-2.2.4+PHP-5.2.1+MySQL-5.0.37-nt community ediiton. The following are my observations / opinions: 1. I think eventum does not provide an "Out-of-the-box" Localization as yet 2. The caption "Available Languages" in the "Account Preferences" section in the "Preferences" page is misleading. I feel that it should be "Preferred Language" or so. 3. Nothing happens if I change the "Available Languages" to the language of my choice. I need to tweak <eventum-2.0.1>/config/config.php and change the definition of APP_DEFAULT_LOCALE to the language that has the corresponding <eventum-2.0.1>/misc/localization/<lang>/LC_MESSAGES/eventum.mo file. Otherwise there is no translation. 4. I feel that users should be able to change their preferred language through the "preferences" page and there should be translation. 5. There should be a script / utility bundled along with Eventum for the creation of the "*.mo" files. I understand that this is really outside eventum - more to do with the "gettext" utility. But it would be useful if it is bundled somewhere under the "misc" folder. Otherwise, Eventum is fantastic!
