Status: Closed Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Marcin Owsiany (porridge) Assigned to: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Summary: newlist: preferred_language not put into available_languages

Initial Comment: When I run newlist with -l pl, then preferred_language does get set to 'pl', but available_languages is set to just ['en']. This causes two problems for me: - editing the default language on the language properties page gets tricky (you need to apply the settings twice, going through a page in english). - the installation scripts logic in the debian package reads available_languages to find out which language message files to install. Not having the preferred language in the available list means I will have to jump through some extra tricky hoops to get it working properly. Also, the comment in the config file does say that the default language should be in the available languages list, so I guess some assumptions are made in other parts of the codebase, which will cause undesired behavior. I guess the best way to fix this is to create a proper mutator method which will contain some logic to also update the available_languages property if need be. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Originator: NO This is a bug in newlist fixed by the attached patch which will be in Mailman 2.1.10. The patch will add the selected language to available_languages if it is other than the server default language. As far as the Debian installation scripts logic is concerned, this is not something that the Mailman project has any control over, but I must not understand correctly in any case. It seems that you are saying that the package will not install any templates or message catalogs for languages that are not listed in available_languages of the existing lists, but this would result in a new installation containg support for only those languages listed as available for the packaged site list if that, so you must be saying something else.
