Pardon me for this.. but I really had a hard time fixing this problem.
Here is the error in the wizard.

Check to see what languages are available Success
All 25 languages found

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Testing to see if which locales are absent Serious Warning! We were unable to detect any system locales. Multilanguage functions will be disabled. Please install the corresponding locales or ask your Provider to do this. This problem is known on Debian systems. In this case please have a look at this Debian locale HowTo

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What will i do with this.. I check my config.. i already have a locale in the usr/lib/locale .. that have a directory of en_US, en_US.utf8, C. And i also have a symbolic link in /usr/share that leads to /usr/lib/locale. Why it does not detect any of my locale. even just one.

Do I need to configure something??

help....

Now, to answer the question.

If you just want gallery in English, ignore this warning and proceed with the configuration.

:D .. thanks.

Just for clarification... if i want to use other language... I will still really need an rpm locale installer.

Another thing.. if i only want to use english only.. are there any function or module that might not work upon using the gallery??

many thanks,

Hi reynan,

yes, you need locales to use other languages..
No, functionality and multilanguage have no relation.
Everything works fine (if not better) in english.

Thanks Jens for the info..
I think i'll just install the rpm locale for multilanguage purposes.

On debian do:
dpkg-reconfigure locales

That lets you select the locales you need.
After that reconfigure Gallery and your off...
