Hi all, I’m just new to Ruby and Discourse. I would like create a new forum dedicated to Vietnamese folks. I just cloned the Discourse Docker at : [GitHub - discourse/discourse\_docker: A Docker image for Discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker). I followed the instructions steps by steps : - Used standalone.yml =\> changed to app.yml - ./launcher bootstrap app - ./launcher start app Everything worked fine, except the Vietnamese translation. I changed my locale from “en” to “vi” but when logging back, I just got a blank page. I saw the following error in my log ``` Started GET "/javascripts/locales/vi.js" for 127.0.0.1 at 2016-03-01 01:16:37 +0000 ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/javascripts/locales/vi.js") /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.0.0/gems/actionpack-4.2.5.1/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/debug_exceptions.rb:21:in `call' Processing by ExceptionsController#not_found as */* Rendered exceptions/not_found.html.erb within layouts/no_ember (7.6ms) Rendered layouts/_head.html.erb (0.5ms) Rendered common/_special_font_face.html.erb (0.9ms) Rendered common/_discourse_stylesheet.html.erb (4.5ms) Rendered application/_header.html.erb (0.6ms) Rendered text template (0.0ms) Completed 404 Not Found in 67ms (Views: 0.5ms | ActiveRecord: 16.0ms) ``` I went to google and found out [How to add a new language - #10](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-add-a-new-language/14970/10) . After having tried several times, I had the following issues: app/assets/javascripts/locales/vi.js.erb doesn’t exist. I had to create one with the following content: ``` //= depend_on 'client.vi.yml' //= require locales/i18n <%= JsLocaleHelper.output_locale(:vi) %> ``` but when doing ``` cd /var/www/discourse RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:clobber assets:precompile ``` I got a weird error ``` Compressing: locales/vi-b5f2a031d44cf486f70e7c6573d4df7e.js rake aborted!

Is that the correct locale string? Did you check Transifex? ---

Hmmm, Now I’m confused. It seems Discourse _is_ using “vi” for Vietnamese. > > Maybe you need the transliteration yml too? > ---

> [@Minh\_Quang\_Vo](#): > > app/assets/javascripts/locales/vi.js.erb doesn’t exist. Yes, this was a legit issue and I was able to repro it. I just added the `vi.js.erb` file: [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/f0653563ee5cf7376be5b236c5104661bbcd400b](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/f0653563ee5cf7376be5b236c5104661bbcd400b) @Minh_Quang_Vo can you try rebuilding your instance again? ```plaintext cd /var/discourse ./launcher rebuild app ``` This should be fixed once the Discourse source code is updated on your server. * * * Also, I just noticed that there are many more Vietnamese locale files missing, as the [original PR](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/1943) was incomplete. I will add all Vietnamese locale files later today. * * * > [@Mittineague](#): > > It seems Discourse is using “vi” for Vietnamese. Yes, that is correct!
