New Installations of Omeka 1.5 or higher
- Open the config.ini file found in the folder '{omeka-root}/application/config' in a text editor
- Look for the "Localization" section (it's right at the top), and the line in it that reads:
locale = ""
- Fill in the two or four letter code for the language you wish to use (see the list above). It is case-sensitive and must match one of the codes exactly.
Upgrading from Omeka 1.4.x or lower
The config files before Omeka 1.5 do not contain the "Localization" section discussed above. You will therefore need to either copy over the new config file shipped with Omeka 1.5 or, if you have made changes to your config.ini file, just copy-and-paste the section from the new config file to your current one.
