Change language Energy LogServer

Bakotech

Good afternoon. I tried to change the language of the Energy Log Server, but it doesn't work according to the instructions, maybe there is something else that I didn't take into account when setting up

Bakotech

I downloaded a json file with Japanese, but the web interface does not change

Hi,

Can you share the file you used in step:
Upload a translation to /usr/share/kibana/translations/ja-JP.json directory?

I will double check what might be the reason. 🙂

please download from the repository

In fact, I'm trying Japanese for the test. But I still have json in Russian.

SzymonC

I see. Can you share whole or part of that json? i just test those instructions on my environment and it worked.

Bakotech

and you did everything according to the instructions and that's it?

Bakotech

Yes of course I will now send a link to Onedrive

It looks like translation file is missing some options? I see below errors in logs:

My .i18nrc.json file looks like this:

{
    "translations": ["translations/ja-JP.json", "translations/ru-RU.json"]
}

My kibana.yml file option is as follows:
i18n.locale: "ru-RU"

When i change ru-RU to ja-JP in i18n.locale option - kibana works fine.

Bakotech

hmm, I wonder how to find this missing element now

SzymonC

However i would like to help more, this is beyond my language knowledge. This looks like a translation file error and this is beyond Energy Logserver.
This should be consulted with translation author.
