OCS shows strange characters

karias · October 28, 2019, 1:20pm

Hello,
I have version OCS 2.3.6.0 installed and these are the characteristics of the server:
Operating System: WINNT
PHP version: 5.6.40
Apache version: Apache / 2.4.37 (Win32) OpenSSL / 1.0.2p
Driver data base: mysql
Data Base Server Version: 10.1.37-MariaDB

The problem is that some pages show strange text, for example:
##user.role.authors##
### ##manager.setup.aboutConference.accessPolicy##
##manager.setup.additionalContent.accessPolicy.description##
##manager.setup.aboutConference.archiveAccessPolicy.description##

They are just a few examples, but there are more. What can I do to show the label and not this??

Thanks.

This indicates that the phrase needed has not yet been translated in the language you are using in OCS.

The Translator Plugin for OJS 2.x may work with OCS. Otherwise, you will need to fill out the translated content manually in the XML files directly.

What language are you working with?

Thanks for answering. I am working with the Portuguese.

For example, the pt_PT locale is missing the the key and translation for user.role.authors:

github.com

pkp/ocs/blob/a5c069448da7314789c4e7b90d037f513649c740/locale/pt_PT/locale.xml#L257-L263


	<!-- Roles -->
	<message key="user.role.manager">Administrador Geral</message>
	<message key="user.role.director">Presidente Comissão Organizadora</message>
	<message key="user.role.trackDirector">Coordendador Painel</message>
	<message key="user.role.managers">Administradores da Conferência</message>
	<message key="user.role.directors">Presidente Comissão Organizadora</message>
	<message key="user.role.trackDirectors">Coordenadores Painel</message>

But this key and translation is present in the pt_BR locale:

github.com

pkp/ocs/blob/a5c069448da7314789c4e7b90d037f513649c740/locale/pt_BR/locale.xml#L269



	<!-- Roles -->

	<message key="user.role.director">Diretor</message>
	<message key="user.role.trackDirector">Diretor de Modalidade</message>
	<message key="user.role.author">Autor</message>

	<message key="user.role.managers">Gerentes Gerais</message>
	<message key="user.role.directors">Diretores</message>
	<message key="user.role.trackDirectors">Diretores de Modalidade</message>
	<message key="user.role.authors">Autores</message>

	<message key="event.logType.paper">Documento</message>
	<message key="event.logType.author">Autor</message>
	<message key="event.logType.director">Diretor</message>

For reference, you should be able to find the English translation of the key in the en_US locale:

github.com

pkp/ocs/blob/a5c069448da7314789c4e7b90d037f513649c740/locale/en_US/locale.xml#L329

	<message key="user.role.directors">Directors</message>
	<message key="user.role.trackDirectors">Track Directors</message>
	<message key="user.role.authors">Authors</message>
