Calibre-server language

[tikismoke]

Hi all and thank's for this very nice soft.

I've got some mistakes with the web interface:
-When launching from a command-line (Debian user) the web page is in french (That's nice).
-When creating a /etc/init.d/calibre-server script the web page is in english.

/usr/bin/calibre-server --with-library /home/user/Livres/ -p 8888 --daemonize

Somebody know how to change this?

Copy ~/.config/calibre to /root/.config/calibre

[tikismoke]

Thank's
I don't have a ~/.config/ since it's a fresh debian re-install on a knew server without any user for the moment.
Différents is when starting it from init.d and from root shell.

The language is read from a stored configuration file, if one os not present it is autodected from your environments LANG/LC_* variables. Set LANG correctly in your init file.

[tikismoke]

root@serveurter:/home/user# locale
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

But still not in french when using init.d script.

I've tried to add this the samething in the ini.d file but it did'nt change anything.

The environment for processes launched via the init system is not the same as that for a login session. You need to get the correct environment setup for your init scripts. How to do that is distro dependent.

[tikismoke]

It's a Debian.

And once again thank you very much for your help.

In case i'm using this script:

I'm not a debian user, so I can't help you with modifying that script. You should ask on a debian forum.

All you need to do, is set one of the following environment variables so the server process sees them (in order)

CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_LANG
LANGUAGE
LC_ALL
LC_CTYPE
LC_MESSAGES
LANG

[tikismoke]

Thank's for all.

Hope there where an option to define language easily.

Maybe in a next release

[tikismoke]

Don't know why but with the last version:Release: 0.8.18 [09 Sep, 2011]
With the same starting script, the web page is now in french.

The OPDS is also in french.
