The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Adam Bernstein <address@concealed>]

Greetings all. We're (finally) working on upgrading from 6.1 to 6.2, and 
it is a massive and daunting task because of all the mods we've made, 
but I can't even get past step 0 and I'm hoping for a pointer.

I'm trying to edit some strings in the localization file, and the method 
I used for 6.1 still seems to be correct, the locale files get updated, 
but the changes never appear in the Sympa interface (web or mail). My 
method is:

1. edit the .po source file, in this case en.po in the po/sympa dir
2. in the same dir, run "make en.gmo", then "make install"
3. restart wwsympa or sympa, whichever is relevant

But no luck. I see the .mo files getting updated in 
~sympa/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES, and I see my new strings appear in them 
(using "strings sympa.mo", but still no effect in Sympa.

I'm a little confused by the relationship of en and en_US, but I've 
tried lots of things there with no luck: "lang en" or "lang en_US" in 
sympa.conf, different choices in my user preferences in WWSympa, etc. 
And anyway I have the same problem using a different language, like fr.

What am I missing? What's changed?

Thanks!
