Overriding language json files from plugin
-
I have reviewed this older discussion:
https://community.nodebb.org/topic/4647/how-to-override-language-login-json-file-through-pluginI have attempted to follow everything in the latest 1.11.1 , but I cannot make the language file override the existing file...
Here is my basic setup
Persona theme
NodeBB 1.11.1
My PluginIn my plugin.json I have added:
"languages": "static/languages"In my plugin folder I have a folder:
static/languagesInside this folder I have 1 folder only:
en-USInside this folder I have 1 file only:
category.jsonThis category.json was copied from the default nodebb base folder
nodebb/public/language/en-US/category.jsonTo test if my plugin is overriding the default category.json included in the base I have updated the category.json my plugin/static/languages/en-US/category.json with the following:
"new_topic_button": "HELLO WORLD!",I have re-built all assets and restarted the entire nodebb service.
I have refreshed my browser and still the new_topic_button continues to show the old "New Topic" text.
I am expecting "HELLO WORLD!"
What am I doing wrong? How can my plugin update the text inside these language files?
Thank you!

Is the plugin activated? Have you run
./nodebb buildand restarted? Are you sure you're using the en-US language when you check? -
I am using grunt for development, but i have fully killed the grunt watcher and have manually started up the ./nodebb build and made sure to fully kill and start up nodebb so it rebuilds all assets.... Still Its not using the language file.
Where can I check the default nodebb language setting that is currently in use?

RESOLVED
If anyone else sees this thread... Don't be the american who thinks the default should be en-US....
It appears that the nodeBB default language was set for en-GB
If you need to adjust the language default setting:
Go to your NodeBB ACP (admin control panel) => General => Languages
