How to use the language pack?

[kingfox]

I download a localization language pack for Chinese(Simplified). There are two files: zh_CN.mo and zh_CN.po. I placed them into codeblocks\share\locale (is it right?), And set the "internationalization" options in Environment->View panel to "Chinese(Simplified)". When I restarted Code::Blocks, the UI is still english.

How should I do to show the chinese UI ?

I have no idea if this works, but try

"Setting" -> "Enviroment" Select "View" from left panel.
Check mark "Internationalzation" and see if it lets you select the language.

Edit: looks like I need reading lessons, did you get an error on re-starting CodeBlocks?
I did when I tried it, said it could not set to Chinese(Simplified).

Here is what I found on codeblocks Wiki
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Internationalization#Let_Code::Blocks_support_your_language

Sorry, that I could not help you.

Thanks stahta01 very much ! You give so valuable help.

I checked "Internationalzation" option and select "Chinese(Simplified)" and restart C::B, but the UI is still english. And I didn't get any error message. Then I read the wiki you told me and worked follow its directive (place zh_CN.mo, zh_CN.po, codeblocks.pot into {$CodeBlocks Install Dir}\share\CodeBlocks\locale\zh_CN folder and copy zh_CN.mo to codeblocks.mo). Then I start C::B and re-checked mark the "Internationalzation". After restart C::B, the UI is Chinese.

But now I meet another problem: I can't switch UI to English. I try to disable "Internationalzation", delete all the *.mo, *.po and *.pot files, but the UI is still Chinese. Who can give me any suggestions ? Thanks.

Try picking (system default) under "Internationalzation" and see if that works.

The help/header file I read somewhere said it is supposed to change the English users back to English.

I did so, and restart C::B, but the UI is still english. Maybe I'm a Chinese user and my windows is Chinese edition, so C::B think "system default" should be Chinese.

Then I disable the "Internationalzation" again and restart my computer. When start C::B again, the UI switch to English. I don't know why it is. Then I switch UI between Chinese and English several times, every thing is OK. Maybe my system has some issue.

Thanks for your help.

Regards.

AFAIK does rc2 not support i18n, you'll habe to use some recent nightly build
