I'm having trouble in changing the language in Squirrelmail. I think the problem is with coding. I believe Squirrel tries to use ISO when my server is using UTF. How have you solved this issue?
Create a new vhost for squirrelmail, install squirrelmail into this vhost and then set the page encoding for this vhost.
Sounds complicated. I have never defined an alternative path for a squirrelmail installation. Can it be done with apt-get ?
I recommed that you just download the squirrelmail tar.gz package from their website and install it in the vhost and do not use apt.
I found an easier way. Choose ALL I kept the en_US.UTF-8 as the default. It will install language support for all the languages (It takes a while but so what After that is finnished Language preferences 1. Default Language : fi_FI 2. Default Charset : UTF-8 3. Enable lossy encoding : false R Return to Main Menu C Turn color on S Save data Q Quit Command >> s And now it works...
Dident seem to work for me. Default is now German under "display preferences" but squirrelmail still shows up in english. Using Ubuntu 10.04 with ISPConfig 3.0.2.2 followed the Perfect Server instructions closely. dpkg-reconfigure locales Generating locales... en_AG.UTF-8... up-to-date en_AU.UTF-8... up-to-date en_BW.UTF-8... up-to-date en_CA.UTF-8... up-to-date en_DK.UTF-8... up-to-date en_GB.UTF-8... up-to-date en_HK.UTF-8... up-to-date en_IE.UTF-8... up-to-date en_IN.UTF-8... up-to-date en_NG.UTF-8... up-to-date en_NZ.UTF-8... up-to-date en_PH.UTF-8... up-to-date en_SG.UTF-8... up-to-date en_US.UTF-8... up-to-date en_ZA.UTF-8... up-to-date en_ZW.UTF-8... up-to-date Generation complete. SquirrelMail Configuration: Language preferences 1. Default Language : de_DE 2. Default Charset : UTF-8 Would anyone have a idea what else to try or check?
I have not noticed that, thanks for the pointer. I did try other languages but I guess they are all not listed. I will do some more searching to figure out how to install it. Thanks. Ok figured it out. Edit: /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local Add: de_DE.ISO-8859-1 ISO-8859-1 or de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8 Run: dpkg-reconfigure locales Generating locales... de_DE.UTF-8... done That worked for me. Further information found here (German - wiki.ubuntuusers.de) Edit: I did try the above again on a different Server with less luck when I remembered on the last Server I did also modify the german array in /usr/share/squirrelmail/functions/i18n.php and added de_DE.UTF-8 to it. see below for example. I changed the following: to the following: Now it should definetly work sorry for that. (Your "Inbox" should now be "Posteingang" or whatever language you added above.)
