Turkish Local problem

Hi,

I’ve installed OJS system but there are some errors…

Firstly, there is a blank white page. Checked error_log file inside;

I searched the forum and realized that this error is related to Turkish. How can I fix?

takmaisim · April 23, 2021, 11:13pm

I fixed.

Find in lib/pkp/classes/i18n/PKPLocale.inc.php;

static function initialize($request) {
		self::$request = $request;

		// Use defaults if locale info unspecified.
		$locale = AppLocale::getLocale();
		setlocale(LC_ALL, $locale . '.' . LOCALE_ENCODING, $locale);
		putenv("LC_ALL=$locale");

		AppLocale::registerLocaleFile($locale, "lib/pkp/locale/$locale/common.po");

		// Set site time zone
		// Starting from PHP 5.3.0 PHP will throw an E_WARNING if the default
		// time zone is not set and date/time functions are used
		// http://pl.php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php
		$timeZone = self::getTimeZone();
		date_default_timezone_set($timeZone);

		if (Config::getVar('general', 'installed')) {
			// Set the time zone for DB
			// Get the offset from UTC
			$now = new DateTime();
			$mins = $now->getOffset() / 60;
			$sgn = ($mins < 0 ? -1 : 1);
			$mins = abs($mins);
			$hrs = floor($mins / 60);
			$mins -= $hrs * 60;
			$offset = sprintf('%+d:%02d', $hrs*$sgn, $mins);

			switch(Config::getVar('database', 'driver')) {
				case 'mysql':
				case 'mysqli':
					Capsule::statement('SET time_zone = \''.$offset.'\'');
					break;
				case 'postgres':
				case 'postgres64':
				case 'postgres7':
				case 'postgres8':
				case 'postgres9':
					Capsule::statement('SET TIME ZONE INTERVAL \''.$offset.'\' HOUR TO MINUTE');
					break;
				default: assert(false);
			}
		}
	}

change with below;

static function initialize($request) {
		self::$request = $request;

		// Use defaults if locale info unspecified.
		$locale = AppLocale::getLocale();
		setlocale(LC_ALL, $locale . '.' . LOCALE_ENCODING, $locale);
		putenv("LC_ALL=$locale");

		AppLocale::registerLocaleFile($locale, "lib/pkp/locale/$locale/common.po");

		// Set site time zone
		// Starting from PHP 5.3.0 PHP will throw an E_WARNING if the default
		// time zone is not set and date/time functions are used
		// http://pl.php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php
		$timeZone = self::getTimeZone();
		date_default_timezone_set($timeZone);

		if (Config::getVar('general', 'installed')) {
			// Set the time zone for DB
			// Get the offset from UTC
			$now = new DateTime();
			$mins = $now->getOffset() / 60;
			$sgn = ($mins < 0 ? -1 : 1);
			$mins = abs($mins);
			$hrs = floor($mins / 60);
			$mins -= $hrs * 60;
			$offset = sprintf('%+d:%02d', $hrs*$sgn, $mins);

			switch(Config::getVar('database', 'driver')) {
				case 'mysql':
				case 'mysqli':
					Capsule::statement('SET time_zone = \''.$offset.'\'');
					break;
				case 'postgres':
				case 'postgres64':
				case 'postgres7':
				case 'postgres8':
				case 'postgres9':
					Capsule::statement('SET TIME ZONE INTERVAL \''.$offset.'\' HOUR TO MINUTE');
					break;
				default: assert(false);
			}
		}
      
        if ($locale == 'tr_TR') setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 'en_US');
	}

Yes, it was fixed years ago…

Hi all,

I think this is still an open problem in the Smarty library we use:

github.com/smarty-php/smarty

strtolower in Autoloader.php won't work using tr_TR locale

opened 09:29AM - 06 Jan 16 UTC

JulienPalard

smarty is using strtolower in Autoload.php but have classes using capitalized "i…", this won't work using the tr_TR.utf8 locale: ``` $ php -r 'var_dump(setlocale(LC_ALL, "tr_TR.utf-8")); echo strtolower("Smarty_Internal") . "\n";' string(11) "tr_TR.utf-8" smarty_Internal ``` Notice the still capitalized I. Ensure you `dpkg-reconfigure locales` and install the "tr_TR.utf8" before doing the test, having "tr_TR.utf8" in the first lines shows that the setlocale worked, if you have bool(false), the setlocal did not change the locale so the strtolower test may wrongly succeed. This happen because in their country they have dotted and undotted i, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dotted_and_dotless_I

I’ve proposed a fix a while ago but have not had any feedback.

Hi @asmecher
I have tested it a few weeks ago. I think the OJS version was 3.3.0.3.
Unfortunately, I faced some kind of errors including blank white page after a successfull install. Without modifiying PKPLocale.inc.php, unfortunately, the Turkish locale interface didn’t work properly. So, I make that change as the last step of git install.
I might test that fix again in a few days on a clean install. I did apply PKPLocale.inc.php modification on all current test sites during installation. So, I need to test it on a clean install.
Regards,

Blank page problem still continues at last version of OJS. I solved it but why do people have to face this problem? Why is the software developer team not fixing this error? This error has existed for a long time, as I understand. It’s really weird…

drugurkocak · April 24, 2021, 10:27pm

The problem belongs to PHP, not OJS. So, all software developers working with Turkish locale face to this problem.

takmaisim · April 24, 2021, 10:29pm

Are you sure? I use Wordpress and OsCommerce (with Turkish locale) for ten years and I never faced kind of that error.
