[SMF 2.1 RC2] default language

[Owdy]

I have installed english and finnish. In language settings, dropdown "default language" shows english and english.

index.php?action=admin;area=languages;sa=settings

If the finnish translation isn't finished, specifically if the "native name" of the language isn't translated yet, the dropdown will still show "English". You can see the actual language in the URL bar directly after the switch (and some parts of the forum might be translated already).

Translation works, that dropdown just shows 2 english. I dont know about native name, maybe its untraslated then.

[m4z]

Ah, that might be true as well; I'll try to poke someone who can change that. Once it's fixed, I'll talk you through the update, because it's... not optimal.

[Owdy]

Yep, thats it

$txt['native_name'] = 'English';

[Sesquipedalian]

I suppose we could add a hack to fall back to the language file name if the value of $txt['native_name'] is 'English' when the language is not actually English. Then the dropdown would at least say "Finnish" until someone gets around to changing $txt['native_name'] = 'English'; to $txt['native_name'] = 'suomi'; (or whatever it should be) in index.finnish.php.

[m4z]

Sounds reasonable.

[Owdy]

$txt['native_name'] = 'Suomi';

[Owdy]

Translated.

// Native name, please use full HTML entities to write your language's name.
$txt['native_name'] = 'Suomi';
