Share how to install Chinese version of Gitlab

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.

Step one: Install 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

Step 2: Download the Chinese language package

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.

Step 3: Switch to the root user and create a new language pack folder in the default directory of Gitlab

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/

Step 4: Copy the language pack file to the Gitlab configuration folder

Copy the downloaded zh_cn.yml file to config/ locales folder.

cp zh_cn.yml /usr/local/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/config/locales/

Step 5: Modify the default language in the Gitlab configuration file

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'

Step 6: Execute Gitlab's configuration file update and restart commands

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.
