switch-language not working for `de_DE_formal`
reitermarkus opened this issue · 10 comments
I noticed that wp site switch-language does not work for de_DE_formal when it is already active.
With wp language core list showing
de_DE_formal German (Formal) Deutsch (Sie) active available 2018-08-03 00:30:25
this happens
$ wp site switch-language 'de_DE_formal'
Error: Language not installed.What kind of files are inside your wp-content/languages folder?
I cannot really reproduce this here. What I noticed however is that I cannot seem to use wp site switch-language en_US.
The result is this:
$ wp language core list --status=active --format=csv --fields=language
language
en_US
$ wp site switch-language de_DE
$ wp language core list --status=active --format=csv --fields=language
language
de_DE
$ wp site switch-language en_US
$ wp language core list --status=active --format=csv --fields=language
language
de_DE

These are installed by wp language core install.
@swissspidy Any ideas what this might be or should we close?
@danielbachhuber I intend to have a closer look at this command in general. I feel like this isn't the only inconsistency.
@reitermarkus I tried to add some tests for this in #57. Locally they all pass, so I am not sure how I can really reproduce this... Please have a look at the tests and let me know if I got my thinking wrong somewhere.
@reitermarkus Latest master now includes tests to test against this specific case (merged PR #57). Are you able to pull latest master and run the tests on your local install to see what result you get?
@schlessera, how do I run the tests?
If you clone this repository you can run composer install and afterwards composer test.
+1, same issue. A new site I just deployed to production doesn't have language support anymore.
Any fixes yet? The issue seems to be some years old now.
@strarsis make sure to install the language first before trying to switch to it. Open a new bug ticket with detailed information if it still doesn‘t work.
