Hi Jonathan I'm sorry but it's no more possible to test anything. As written I have deleted the directory "/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/prog/de-DE" since seemingly because of the existence of this directory "koha-translate" thought German (de-DE) was still installed. After the deletion I was able to (re-)install German. So fo course this time "koha.translate" is correct when saying: # koha-translate --install de-DE --verbose Error: the selected language is already installed. Try --update if you want to re-install it. However - no, "/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/prog/en/" is not an existing directory and I don't know why "koha-translate" did output the following: # koha-translate --install de-DE /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/prog/en/: Input must be a directory. (Symbolic links are not supported at the moment) Try `/usr/share/koha/misc/translator/tmpl_process3.pl --help for more information. Maybe someone did something wrong in the past - I'm only responsible for the current update from Koha 19.11.00 to 21.05.01.

Hello Michael, Can you try the `koha-translate --install de-DE` command with the --verbose flag? What's the output?

Is "/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/prog/en/" a directory? It's missing "bootstrap", it must be "/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/"

Hi

Regarding my last e-mail (see below) I found out "koha-translate" thought German (de-DE) was still installed because there was an empty directory named "/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/prog/de-DE". I deleted that directory and then was able to (seemlingly) successfully install German, even if the output looked somewhat disturbing::

# koha-translate --install de-DE /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/prog/en/: Input must be a directory. (Symbolic links are not supported at the moment) Try `/usr/share/koha/misc/translator/tmpl_process3.pl --help for more information. /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/prog/en/: Input must be a directory. (Symbolic links are not supported at the moment) Try `/usr/share/koha/misc/translator/tmpl_process3.pl --help for more information. /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/prog/en/: Input must be a directory. (Symbolic links are not supported at the moment) Try `/usr/share/koha/misc/translator/tmpl_process3.pl --help for more information. /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/prog/en/: Input must be a directory. (Symbolic links are not supported at the moment) Try `/usr/share/koha/misc/translator/tmpl_process3.pl --help for more information.

But then again - why was German (except said directory "de-DE") deleted in the first place? Is this a bug or did I do something wrong?

Hi

We were on Debian GNU/Linux 9 with Koha 19.11.00, our configured language was german (de-DE). Today we updated first to Debian GNU/Linux 10, then to Koha 21.05.01. At the end of the update it said:

Upgrade to 21.05.01.003 done [19:19:38]: Koha 21.05.01 release Error: the selected language is already installed. Try --update if you want to re-install it. ERROR: an error was found when updating 'de-DE' translations. Please manually run 'koha-translate --update de-DE'. Run man koha-translate for more options.

Now our language German (de-DE) is gone, instead only English (en) is there. The Koha system preferences "language" und "OPACLanguages" just show "English" but these checkboxes are not even checked. German is not there anymore.

I tried to run "koha-translate" with various options but it didn't help:

# koha-translate --list de-DE # koha-translate --update de-DE Error: the selected language is already installed. Try --update if you want to re-install it.

# koha-translate --remove de-DE # koha-translate --list de-DE

# koha-translate --install de-DE Error: the selected language is already installed. Try --update if you want to re-install it.

When trying to use option "--dev" the program tries to access a non-existing directory called "koha-tmpl".

# koha-translate --list de-DE --dev ndz ls: cannot access '/usr/share/koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/': No such file or directory

How can we regain the German language?
