How to use another language in the admin panel?

ysun

Hello,

Is it possible to use another language in the admin panel while the site for public is in English?

Thanks!

Sort of. You can set the language selector to "HTTP Select Language". Then the language is taken from the browser's prefered language list. (Of course, only for those languages that have translations!) So your visitors would see Zenphoto in their perferred language and you would see it in yours.

Thanks.

How about setting the Zenphoto for public is in English only while the admin page is in Chinese only? Or is there something like ...index.php?lang=cn in the link to define the language?

Thanks!

Yes, there is if you enable the seo_locale plugin.

I am new to Zenphoto, could you give me more tips to make it work?

Thanks a lot!

It is explained on the link I posted.

em...

Do I need to create seo_locale.php and filterLocale_load_request.php in zp-core/zp-extensions first? Sorry I have no idea how to follow that tutorial...

You need to create urls with the format

The URL format is: mod_rewrite /<languageid>/<standard url> else <standard url>?locale=<languageid> Where <languageid> is the local identifier (e.g. en, en_US, fr_FR, etc.)

so the link to your site for anyone would need to be <domain>/zenfolder/en_US/

Thanks. But I still don't get it. Could you help me to locale below link to another language?

On the options there is a selector for languages. The example above is for the website part only, not the admin.

ysun

Thanks. So the admin page doesn't support other language difination in the address line?

That is correct, but the next release will allow you to set the language for each user. You can try it out by installing the nightly build as a test.
