Hello list!

It has been a while, but I managed to get commercial interest in using Eventum as a "communication management system" for customers outside the IT-world. My customer wants to use the system to track complaints and the handling by the support team for real estate.

For this I need to localize Eventum to Dutch (Which is currently for 80% finished) and change some terminology so it fits this none IT segment.

I downloaded a fresh 2.1.1 and installed it. Now I have a couple of questions:

1- I noticed that the /misc/localization directory only contains po files in it's root directory, no mo files in the LC_MESSAGES directories, is this the new approach for this release of Eventum or should I have kept the mo's from previous releases?

I found that the po-files need to be parsed into eventum.mo files that have to land in the LC_MESSAGES directory. Closed

2- Might this be the reason why on the User preferences page I cannot set the language? It seemd to be! Closed 3- For setting up the seperate languages: Should I use the en_US notation or just 2 letter codes 'en', 'nl' etc.? It looks like using the notation 'nl_NL' works like a charm. Closed 4- Are the contents of the automated e-mail also multi language?

I am going to figure this out in a later stadium. I first have to get e-mail flow up and running.

I would like to get this right and then write a small instruction for the wiki in return. I already have write access to the wiki.

I started editting the localization wiki in the development part of the wiki: - Is this the right place for me to do so? - Are there any suggestions on the text I wrote?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
