Install Locale

By default, only the EN locale is installed. To enable other locales, they must be installed first.

With OpenAdmin
With OpenCLI

To install a locale, go to OpenAdmin > Settings > Locales and click the Install button next to the desired locale.

To install a locale from the terminal, use its locale prefix from Github and run:

opencli locale <LOCALE_HERE>

Example: Install Turkish locale:

opencli locale tr-tr

Example: Install multiple locales:

opencli locale sr-sr tr-tr zh-cn

Example: Install all available locales:

opencli locale $(curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/stefanpejcic/openpanel-translations/contents" | jq -r '.[] | select(.type=="dir") | .name' | tr '\n' ' ')

Default Locale

With OpenAdmin
From Terminal

To make a specific locale the default, go to OpenAdmin > Settings > Locales and click the Set as Default button next to the desired locale.

To set a default locale from the terminal:

echo <LOCALE_HERE> > /etc/openpanel/openpanel/default_locale

Example: Set Turkish as the default:

echo tr > /etc/openpanel/openpanel/default_locale

INFORMATION

Changing the default will not automatically update existing users’ settings; their browser preferences and account configurations will take precedence. For more details, see How-to Guides > Setting the Default Locale.

Edit Locale

To edit a locale, click the GitHub icon next to it in the table. This opens the source on GitHub, where you can fork the repository and edit the translation file.

Create a Locale

To create a new locale:

Fork the translations repository.
Copy the en_us folder to a new locale folder, e.g., es_es.
Translate the messages.pot file.
Submit a pull request.
