How do I change language to modified chinese

edit

hi, I have tried to run python ../manage.py compilemessages , but I got Error: This script should be run from the Django SVN tree or your project or app tree, or with the settings module specified.

This needs to be done fro askbot app directory not from the project root. From where did you download askbot?

I used virtualenv and askbot-setup under /home/jerry/WebApp/ and used . for where the Askbot project resides. do I need to install it under the Vitualenv dir ?( for my case, /home/jerry/VE)

you need to activate your virtual environment, then cd askbot, then run python ../manage.py compilemessages. That is assuming that you've installed askbot in development mode - using python setup.py develop in the first place, otherwise the command needs to be run from the askbot app directory - possibly inside your virtual environment.

I think i did not have the develop mode installed, so How do I do it? I only know the askbot-setup command for installing the project. where can I find the setup.py?

hi, sorry for the bad comments, I have found in the documentation, using git clone git://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel.git and python setup.py develop

so i have tried pip uninstall askbot and then git clone git://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel.git <my_proj_dir> then python setup.py develop then askbot-setup, but I still get this Error: This script should be run from the Django SVN tree or your project or app tree, or with the settings module specified.

I've done the following steps and it worked for me:

git clone git@github.com:ASKBOT/askbot-devel.git
cd askbot-devel
virtualenv env --no-site-packages
source env/bin/activate
python setup.py develop
askbot-setup #answer questions, probably use 127.0.0.1 for domain name
#edit settings.py, if necessary
python manage.py syncdb --migrate --noinput

i can start the server. but the the problem is my modified locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/django.po still did not work. I tried your cmd , python ../manage.py compilemessages, but it still says "Error: This script should be run from the Django SVN tree or your project or app tree, or with the settings module specified."

on the django documentation, I found django-admin.py compilemessages for update the .po files, is it same as manage.py?

did you run the compilemessages from inside directory askbot? do you mean that python manage.py runserver works, but compilemessages does not?

I just got a step further, I was in the wrong askbot dir, but I got these errors: processing file django.po in .../askbot/locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES sh: msgfmt: not found processing file djangojs.po in .../askbot/locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES sh: msgfmt: not found

you are missing a system package called gettext - you will need root access to install it. If you cannot compile the file yourself you can give it to me. Also you could commit it to github if your fixes could be interesting to somebody else. Thanks.

I have installed askbot in production mode (not development). I've run compilemessages from app dir and also from askbot folder and I get the message: "CommandError: This script should be run from the Django Git checkout or your project or app tree, or with the settings module specified." I haven't used virtualenv

Try using the LANGUAGE_CODE parameter in the settings.py file.

Thanks, I have done that already. Anyway, despite the errors, the site is displayed in the new language. My issue is solved. Thanks
