Default language and language selectbox

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi all.

Sorry but I have a problem again. :) I configure BBB to use it for webinars in 
my university and change default language to russain in 
bigbluebutton/client/BigBlueButton.html (how it described in your FAQ). 
Everything is ok, but right top language selectbox still display English. Way 
not Russian?

In another case: default language is still Russian and default value of 
selectbox is English. If I change its value to some other (for example: 
Turkish) everything except title of listeners box, title of mail chatbox (see 
screenshot) changed.

And sorry, I remember that you asked me to write just one question in one 
issue, but why welcoming chat message is not added to the language template 
file?

Hi,

If you change the language in the html file that change won't get propagated to 
the selector box. The default in the selector box will always be english. If 
you want you can disable the selector box entirely in the client's config.xml

If you change the value to some other language and not all strings update, that 
means that those localization files are missing those strings.

For your final question, the welcome message is set through the API. It is 
something specific to each conference and there's no reason for it to be in the 
language template file.

From now on, if you have questions and are not sure that these are bugs, please 
write to the bigbluebutton-setup mailing list. More people read the list than 
the issue tracker and we'll be better able to help you there.

 Ok. Thanks for your answer. I understand about localization and welcome message, but i still think that always english in the selector box is wrong.

In my case, when native language is russian, I have to disable this selector 
box because it displays incorrect value. But if one will hold a webinar with a 
foreigner, he can not switch the interface language and it will cause problems 
with the translation module, since as far as I understand it the value of the 
operand selector box.

Very sorry for my english.

Same for me. localeChain is set to "us_EN" but language selector still shows 
"English" on startup.

I need to change the languge too. But where is the 
"bigbluebutton/client/BigBlueButton.html" file? What's the absolute path on 
Ubuntu? 

Thanks,
Jerry
