Install translation

Installation of Translations

Click upper-left side in the corner, the user preferences Button, which is located left to the name Openbravo.

Choose the Role System Administrator and click the OK Button.

Now navigate to General Setup > Application > Language.

Search for your country/language, e.g. german% for Germany.

After finding the record, mark the checkbox System language and save the record with the Disc-symbol in the upper Toolbar. Save the record, by clicking on the Button Verify Language.

NOTE: First "System Language" checkbox , record saving, then click "Verify Languages" Button.

CAUTION: DON'T mark the checkbox "Base Language", this is used for translations.

Now you must create, in the Openbravo directory, the directories attachment/lang/de_DE and copy in there the translation xml files. The Translation files German_Germany_Translation.zip, which you have to unzip before. You can find the translation in SourceForge.

Navigate to General Setup > Application > Import/Export Translations. Choose in the field Language the record we want,e.g. German(Germany) and click on the Button Import. It will take a while, around 25 min.

After that we go into the Openbravo directory and type following commands

ant compile.complete

--Notice: If you find this error: 
compileSqlc:
BUILD FAILED
...AppsOpenbravo/build.xml:85: The following error occurred
while executing this line: ...AppsOpenbravo/src/build.xml:176:
srcdir "...AppsOpenbravo/build/javasqlc/srcAD/org/openbravo/er
pCommon/reference" does not exist!

Try to run "ant core.lib wad.lib trl.lib" and if success, run "ant compile.complete" again

ant war

ant deploy

Then deploy the Openbravo context. This is done by copying the lib/openbravo.war file to the tomcat directory (on Debian/Etch is this /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/ ) and then type following:

/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 restart

Now you can set your language in the user preferences.

If you want to login and see directly all menus in your language, mark the checkbox Set as Default.
