Unable to Change System Language to French (MO File Updated, Still Not Working)

General

Hello everyone,

I recently installed GibbonEdu on my server, and everything is working well except for the language settings. I am unable to switch the system language to French.

Here is what I have tried so far:

  • Enabled French in System Admin → Language Settings

  • Set French as the default language

  • Uploaded/updated the .mo translation file in /i18n/fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES/

  • Followed all tutorials and documentation online

  • Cleared cache and restarted PHP

  • Tried changing the language at the user level and system level

Despite all of this, the interface remains in English, and the language does not change.

Has anyone encountered this issue before?
Is there anything else I need to configure in Gibbon 30 to recognize the French language files?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

Hi @zems, welcome to the Gibbon forums.

From your post, it looks like you’ve done every step correctly, especially from the Gibbon side of things. Can I check if you have confirmed that the fr_FR locale is activated on your server? This can be done with the sudo locale-gen fr_FR command on Ubuntu servers, but if you’re running something else, you may need to check the instructions here or search online based on your server config.

@sandra Thank you for the help. For some reason, it started working, maybe after rebooting the server, or the cache in my web browser was playing a game with me.
