The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Ralph Ballier <address@concealed>]

 

 

Hi,

 

the file you mentioned is located with us under "/usr/local/share/sympa/default/mail_tt2/welcome.tt2"and is in English. However, the welcome email is in German (see below). What is the connection?

 

 

 

 

Best Regards,

Ralph

Hi,

in my sympa.conf, it says "lang de-DE", which is why large parts of Sympa are in German. However, that was not my question.

My colleague says that the welcome message for a new list member is sent in German, but the corresponding template is written in English. He is specifically asking how he can modify the German welcome message if he apparently only has access to the English template.

Regards,
Ralph

There is only one template in the Sympa sources:

https://github.com/sympa-community/sympa/blob/main/default/mail_tt2/welcome.tt2

This is filled with translated content for languages other than English.

Hi,

I have successfully installed Sympa.

A colleague is now working intensively with the program. He noticed that the interface is entirely in German, and the welcome message is also sent in German. However, when he looks at the templates, they are all in English. How is that possible?

How does Sympa determine the language settings? The interface and welcome message are in German, but all templates appear to be in English. Is there a way to synchronize or change this behavior?"

Best regards,

Ralph

Hello Ralph,

you can set the default language in the sympa.conf file:

lang en_US

Debian/Ubuntu doesn't support all languages out of the box. You can check that with "locale -a" and add languages with "dpkg-reconfigure locales".
