Hi there,

I got a problem with the languages of G2: I set the standard language and the language of my account to "German" but the gallery stays in english, why? I already rebooted the server, but without success. Address: http://galerie.danielkircher.de
Thanks,

something like that should work... maybe you've got to change it
notes:
- main.php?g2_controller=core.ChangeLanguage&g2_language=en_GB changes the language of the current session to en_GB
- g2_return=http is an urlencoded redirect address. so after it changes the language, it will redirect to this URL immediately.

nothing happens when I try out these links... The language stays german and the langest link returns an error because the folder "v" is not on the server.

- fixed the return link, removed the v/
- tested with my own site, replaced your host with my host / path, worked.

for German, use de_DE in the url.

maybe the language drop down block must be active.
add the language block to your sidebar block list in site admin -> themes -> matrix.

and did you try if German language support works for your server at all?
FAQ: I changed the language but nothing happens, what's wrong?

ok, thank you! I do not know that much about linux.
Could you tell me how to install another language as German on my linux Server and where I can download it?
Thank you!

nope i can't. didn't do that before. but it should be quite simple and google has a quite a few hits for the topic locale and how to add a locale etc.
we should definitely add this information to the codex.
