Language / Locale does not change (gettext, Windows)

Hello,

I have one more question. I am trying to configure my RosarioSIS installation on a Windows Computer (WAPP 7.1.24-0) to work in Spanish as well.

On the log in interface for RosarioSIS, I can click on the Spanish flag for the spanish translation and the URL in the browser address-bar will update. However, the user interface still remains in English. I have provided a screenshot here (I blanked out the school name):

During the setup, I have followed the tutorial on how to install RosarioSIS on Windows.
Furthermore, I have checked that the php gettext extension is in fact active using the phpinfo() function. You can see a screenshot of that here:

Best regards

Hello yess

Unfortunately, there is a problem with gettext on Windows since PHP 5.5. I believe it now only works if the locale is actually installed on the computer (and maybe is activated?).

This is why WAPP stack 5.4 is recommended in the installation tutorial.

If you have a solution to make it work with PHP7 on Windows, please let us know here.

Hello francoisjacquet

Thank you again for your quick response. When I was installing the software, I was not aware of that bug and simply thought that the tutorial would probably be outdated. Therefore, I opted for the new WAPP version with PHP 7.

Today, I tried different suggested solutions on the Internet to get gettext working on PHP 7. However, I could not get it to work. Because of that, I installed, as you suggested, the old WAPP version with PHP 5.4.45. The translation works now, however it is in general not satisfying to use outdated software...

Best regards!

the tutorial now recommends WAPP stack version 7.1.
Translations work without gettext on Windows.
