[OJS 3.2.1.1] Issue in removing a language from OJS

Software Support

I’m facing an issue concerned unchecked “Limba Română” language in settings. I tried to delete it from the administration of OJS, but it won’t work. I tried also to clear the data cache, but it doesn’t fix the issue. Hope I will find someone to help.

Hi @madjidbekai,

Can you describe what happens when you try to delete the language?

Hi @asmecher, thank you for replying
all languages that appear in the list I can uncheck them, but only “Limba Romana” I couldn’t, every time I click on the uncheck box the right mark couldn’t disappears even so the notification show that the language settings are changed, nothing happens only in this language that I found it checked from the first time I installed OJS.

Hi @madjidbekai,

Can you check in your PHP error log to see if anything relevant appears there?

Hi @madjidbekai,

Can you look a little further back? Neither of those seem relevant. Alternately, check the log’s latest entry just before trying to disable the language, then check it again afterwards, and capture just the new entries.

Hi @madjidbekai,

I’ve found the cause; if you add a file called locale/ro_RO/locale.po to your installation, with the following contents:

msgid ""
msgstr "X-Generator: Weblate\nMIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit"

…that should resolve the problem. (The same file is in github here: https://github.com/pkp/ojs/blob/master/locale/ro_RO/locale.po)

Hi,
it says in Alec’s comment to add the file mentioned. So of course you will not find it. Go to github and download it to the locale folder of your OJS installation.
