Add a new language interface - uzbek

[Riccardo_Terzaghi]

Hi! I’m trying to add uzbek as a language following this guide from @gerhard :

Add a new locale from plugin

Usually the best way to add a new language to Discourse is by creating a pull request as described in “How to add a new language”. The following guide is for you, if you want to use a language that can’t be added to core right now. Adding a locale that extends an existing locale Let’s say you want to add a Spanish locale for Mexico (es_MX). Discourse already ships a Spanish locale (es), so this is quite easy. Your plugin’s directory structure should look like this: custom-locales ├── asset…

But when I add the plugin in the app.yml and rebuild the app I get this error:

FAILED
--------------------
Pups::ExecError: cd /var/www/discourse && su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake db:migrate' failed with return #<Process::Status: pid

This is the repository of my plugin(translation are yet to come):

GitHub - richterzo/discourse-uzbek

What am I missing?

[gerhard (Gerhard Schlager)]

I didn’t see an obvious problem with your plugin.

please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one.

It looks like the error might be related to something other than the plugin. Unfortunately you didn’t include the actual error message in your snippet. It should have been in the output somewhere above the “FAILED” message.

I was finally able to install the plugin and display correctly among the available interface languages.
But when I try to translate a post with the discourse translate plugin it doesn’t translate and it returns Translated from [missing% {language} value] by Google

[gerhard (Gerhard Schlager)]

Looks like the translator plugin has an internal mapping for Google. This is a total hack, but you could try patching it by appending the following snippet to your plugin.rb.

after_initialize do
  if defined? DiscourseTranslator::Google::SUPPORTED_LANG_MAPPING
    DiscourseTranslator::Google::SUPPORTED_LANG_MAPPING[:uz] = "uz"
  end
end

Hi @gerhard
Thank you very much for supporting!
Is there any chance to officially upgrade the Translator in order to consider the new languages without hacking?

We need to have 6 new languages integrated in Discourse. In the next months we’ll provide the translations via crowdin, but in the meantime we need to activate the functionalities of the Translator and Multilingual plugins (as we were discussing here). I think that a Translator upgrade would be more reliable and useful to other users with the same need.

In the last weeks we already raised a couple of PRs (such these ones) to incude new locales in the Translator, but maybe it is not the same kind of request…?

You can create a PR and someone will have a look.
