In software development, version control is a very important link. As a powerful Git warehouse, Gitlab provides complete version control functions. However, by default, Gitlab does not provide a Chinese language package. This makes many users who need a Chinese interface feel very inconvenient. Next, let’s share how to install Chinese version of GitLab.
The Gitlab installation process is very simple. You only need to follow the instructions on the official website, download the corresponding installation package and execute the installation command. For readers who do not understand the installation steps, please refer to Gitlab official documentation
Visit Gitlab’s language package warehouse: https://gitlab.com/xhang/ gitlablang/-/tree/master/zh-CN, select the version you need (select the latest version), and download the original data package to get a file named zh_cn.yml
.
In most Linux distributions, the root user account is installed by default. We can use the su
command to switch to the root user and create a new folder named locale
in Gitlab's default directory. The default directory of Gitlab may be different in different systems. Therefore, you need to set it according to the installation directory of Gitlab in your own system. Usually, Gitlab is installed under /usr/local/gitlab/.
su mkdir -p /usr/local/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/config/locales/
Copy the downloaded zh_cn.yml
file to config/ locales
folder.
cp zh_cn.yml /usr/local/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/config/locales/
Edit the Gitlab configuration file /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
(If Gitlab is installed in / usr/local/gitlab/), set the default language to Chinese zh-CN
vim /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
Add the following configuration in the file:
gitlab_rails['default_locale'] = 'zh-CN'
gitlab-ctl reconfigure gitlab-ctl restart
At this point, the Chinese installation of Gitlab has been completed. Open the Gitlab website and you will find that the default language has changed to Chinese.
