I try to change the language localisation of our site to dutch following the documentation at: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/i18n+Administrator%27s+Guide%3A+Using+CiviCRM+in+your+own+language

I uploaded our language files at sites/all/modules/civicrm/l10n/nl_NL Now some of the backend interface (settings) shows in dutch. But the admin menu and for instance event emails are still send in english.

When I change the language on the 4.6 sandbox the whole menu changes. I already dropped civicrm_domain. What else can I do to get this working using civicrm 4.6.4 / drupal 7.38 ?

  • Similar problem. After an update to civiCRM 4.6.11 (Drupal 7.41), civiCRM returned to English. After changing to Dutch and other variables on the localisation settings (admin > settings > localization) i got the message "Changes saved", but they were not saved.

Unfortunately, if you change the language after the installation, the data that has been loaded during installation in the database will not be translated.

I am not aware of an easy way of fixing that but you could use as a start the sql files in civicrm-xxx-l10n.tar.gz and do updates instead of insert.

The issue is known and hopefully will be fixed in CiviCRM 4.7

    It was on our i18n improvements TODO list at Denver Civi Sprint. Just added a new JIRA for it - CRM-17065
