[GeoNetwork-users] disable other languages

Prestige · August 20, 2009, 9:37am

Does anyone know how to disable all the other languages that are supported
by geonetwork except for English?

you can simply remove the links to the other languages.. although that will
not really *disable* them, users could still go there if they guess the URL
(language abbreviations are part of the URL). Is removing the links not
sufficient for you ?

it's <install-dir>/web/geonetwork/xsl/banner.xsl.

I've done it for you in the attachment, assuming you're using GeoNetwork
2.4.0.

I am interested in this as well and have been contemplating removing everything in the /loc/ directories, and then all entries in the database that do not correspond to languages other than "en". This would require a bit more work, but should effectively make the application monolingual?

Jason

Jason,

yes I think it would, but is it worth the trouble ? Seeing you can easily
just hide the language links ?

Worst-case, someone guesses the URL for a different language and ends up
with errors if you have custom localized strings, but not for that other
language. But if you don't want to localize you may as well hard-code those
and all will be hunkey-dorey ?

Kind regards

Yeah, I think it is probably not worth the trouble, but unfortunately, we have some strict requirements, so I may have to do it.

I will start with the procedure that you outlined, by removing the links on the main page, and then possibly resort to more drastic measures.

Thanks.

Jason

Hi !

I need to keep only two languages. Would you also disable the other
languages here ?
This method of removing the links is probably sufficient for me but I need
to keep only two in the role-down menu ...

According to my written down reminder, this is what we did in order to have
GeoNetwork 2.6.0 with only German and English:

/srv/tomcat/geonetwork-260/webapps/geonetwork/WEB-INF/config-gui.xml

Take away the languages you do not need.

/srv/tomcat/geonetwork-260/webapps/geonetwork/index.html

Change the standard for the language used.

Some SQL scripts erase all of the languages in the database you do not need

Script erases all descriptions and the language itself except from German
and English:
DELETE FROM regionsdes
WHERE langid = 'cn'
OR langid = 'es'
OR langid = 'fr'
OR langid = 'nl'
OR langid = 'pt'
OR langid = 'ru';

DELETE FROM operationsdes
WHERE langid = 'cn'
OR langid = 'es'
OR langid = 'fr'
OR langid = 'nl'
OR langid = 'pt'
OR langid = 'ru';

DELETE FROM isolanguagesdes
WHERE langid = 'cn'
OR langid = 'es'
OR langid = 'fr'
OR langid = 'nl'
OR langid = 'pt'
OR langid = 'ru';

DELETE FROM groupsdes
WHERE langid = 'cn'
OR langid = 'es'
OR langid = 'fr'
OR langid = 'nl'
OR langid = 'pt'
OR langid = 'ru';

DELETE FROM categoriesdes
WHERE langid = 'cn'
OR langid = 'es'
OR langid = 'fr'
OR langid = 'nl'
OR langid = 'pt'
OR langid = 'ru';

DELETE FROM languages
WHERE id = 'cn'
OR id = 'es'
OR id = 'fr'
OR id = 'nl'
OR id = 'pt'
OR id = 'ru';

DELETE FROM isolanguagesdes
WHERE iddes != 123
AND iddes != 150;

DELETE FROM isolanguages
WHERE id != 123
AND id != 150;

Script erases all the descriptions for the regions, the regions themselves:
DELETE FROM public.regionsdes
WHERE (iddes < 10000);

DELETE FROM public.regions
WHERE (id < 10000);

DELETE FROM regionsdes
WHERE langid = 'en'
OR langid = 'de';

DELETE FROM regions
WHERE langid = 'en'
OR langid = 'de';

Script updates the descriptions for the new regions in German and English:

insert into regions (id,north,south,west,east)
values (0,53.890337,51.309963,6.677759,11.579058); /* Niedersachsen */
insert into regions (id,north,south,west,east)
values (1,52.347612,52.198982,10.431844,10.6166); /* Braunschweig.
Kreisfreie Stadt */
insert into regions (id,north,south,west,east)
values (2,53.107474,52.989419,8.581742,8.710421); /* Delmenhorst. Kreisfreie
Stadt */
....

/* deutsch */
insert into regionsdes (iddes,langid,label)
values(0,'de','Niedersachsen');
insert into regionsdes (iddes,langid,label)
values(1,'de','Braunschweig, Kreisfreie Stadt');
insert into regionsdes (iddes,langid,label)
values(2,'de','Delmenhorst, Kreisfreie Stadt');
insert into regionsdes (iddes,langid,label)
...
/* english */
insert into regionsdes (iddes,langid,label)
values(0,'en','Lower Saxony');
insert into regionsdes (iddes,langid,label)
values(1,'en','Braunschweig, independent city');
insert into regionsdes (iddes,langid,label)
values(2,'en','Delmenhorst, independent city');
insert into regionsdes (iddes,langid,label)

Erase the directories for the languages you do not need in the following
directories:
/srv/tomcat/geonetwork-260/webapps/geonetwork/loc/
/srv/tomcat/geonetwork-260/webapps/geonetwork/xml/schemas/csw-record/loc/
/srv/tomcat/geonetwork-260/webapps/geonetwork/xml/schemas/dublin-core/loc/
/srv/tomcat/geonetwork-260/webapps/geonetwork/xml/schemas/fgdc-std/loc/
/srv/tomcat/geonetwork-260/webapps/geonetwork/xml/schemas/iso19110/loc/
/srv/tomcat/geonetwork-260/webapps/geonetwork/xml/schemas/iso19115/loc/
/srv/tomcat/geonetwork-260/webapps/geonetwork/xml/schemas/iso19139/loc/

-------

I have not re-checked these things and I am not so familiar with sql, so be
aware of what you do. The thing worked for us for GeoNetwork 2.6.0, but...

-------

We just tried to update from 2.6.0 to 2.6.4, but it did not work for the
database, because we erased the language "es" from the database?! So I give
you a copy of the error message:

So, maybe it is not so good to simply erase all of the languages you do not
need, for nobody seems to have checked whether an update of the database is
still possible with only some languages left behind.

Tara and good luck!

I found the solution for this problem with not being able to update the
database from GeoNetwork 2.6.0 to 2.6.4.

Between 2.6.0 to 2.6.4 the table "languages" gets three more columns. That
seems to be the problem.
You must not (!) delete the entries in the table "languages". If you already
have, just put them in again and then do the update from 2.6.0 to 2.6.4. As
far as we see, the update will work fine then.
