change the language of edx

[mojtaba kamyabi]

Hi. I read other topics for change the language of edx. but I don't understand how?

what is the easiest way to change the language of the edx(English) to other languages? (like spanish)

(I already change it a bit but whole site language doesn't changed only login button changed)

We can help, but it will be easier if you tell us what you did already.  What directions did you follow?  If you simply want the site to always appear in Spanish, it should be a simple process of changing a setting in a Python file.

thanks for your quick response.

I already followed this step 3 in this link => here

Configure LANGUAGE_CODE in your lms/envs/common.py

but not whole site language changed ( only some sections changed for example : login button OR register form fields)

Based on the log you linked to, it looks like the error is No such file or directory: u'/edx/app/edxapp/log/edx.log'. Have you tried making sure that the directory exists? Try running:

$ sudo mkdir -p /edx/app/edxapp/log

and then run the command again. Does that fix the problem?

You can aswell go to the django admin (youredxserverurl/admin) and set the Dark Lang Config, we use (es-es,en,ca@valencia), after that the users will be able to select the language of the platform in their profile. Or just set 1 language as default.

It seems that this thread comes first at Google search. If you're looking to have a default language (other than English) while still allowing to fallback to English, this app might help:

• https://github.com/appsembler/LingoX
• An app to enforce a default language for the edX Platform regardless of browser language.
