I’ve installed PyFedi and did the things outlined in the INSTALL.txt
flask db migrate
flask init-db
Now when I add communities or posts, English is the only option for language. And I’ve looked into the PostgreSQL database… It’s just two rows in the language table, Undetermined and English.
Did I do something wrong? Is that supposed to happen? How can I add all the other languages, because on piefed.social there is a long list of options available.
No, I don’t think you did anything wrong. It looks like languages are added as your instance becomes aware of them. On my test instance, there was a very random-looking list of 8 languages, but sticking [email protected] in ‘Add Remote’ meant that ‘Deutsch’ was added too.
Thanks. Worked for me.
Yes, as Andrew said, languages are added automatically as content using those languages arrives from other instances.
This is not ideal. I think we need to improve something either in the initial setup or the admin UI.
You can work around this by subscribing to a community that uses the language you want. Or you could manually insert a row into the language table in the DB - ensure the value of the ‘code’ column is the standard 2 letter language code for your language. Which language is it?
Thanks, yeah just for now I was actually looking for German. Andrew’s answer helped me. In doubt I’ll scan for other communities or poke around in the database. Unfortunately I have no clue how Postgres works ;-)
