Do you want to contribute and add your own language files to B3? Perfect!

Here are the English files that are relevant:

  • /usr/share/album/i18n/en/messages.js
  • /usr/share/album/i18n/en/messages.php
  • /usr/share/web-admin/admin/views/default/i18n/en/bubba_lang.php
  • /usr/share/web-admin/admin/views/default/i18n/en/help_lang.php
  • /usr/share/web-admin/admin/views/default/i18n/en/messages.js


If you for example wish to create a Danish version of the B3 user interface, do like this:

1. Log in via SSH and become root.

2. Create a new folder called dk under /usr/share/album/i18n/.

3. Create a new folder called dk under /usr/share/web-admin/admin/views/default/i18n/.

4. Copy all the files from respectively catalog to the newly created folders (/usr/share/album/i18n/en/* to /usr/share/album/i18n/dk/ and /usr/share/web-admin/admin/views/default/i18n/en/* to /usr/share/web-admin/admin/views/default/i18n/dk/).

5. Edit the file /usr/share/web-admin/admin/views/default/i18n/dk/description.ini:

short_name="dk"
long_name="Danish"
status='user'

6. Now translate the content in the five files listed above, in its new location /dk.

7. In the UI, change the 'System language' to Danish and verify the result while editing.

When you are satisfied with the result we would be very happy if you would share it with us. Please start a thread in our forum in the category Development. Name the thread "Language files - Danish" for example. Zip the files and attach it in the thread. We will add the language files so that all users can take advantage of the translations after a software update via the user interface.


To change language settings via the config files

The default language setting, edit the file "/home/admin/.bubbacfg" and set "default_lang=en"
For each individual user, the language is set in the "/home/user/.bubbacfg" with the "language" variable.
