I’ve already configured my Docker installation with the following setup:

/distro/configuration/globalproperties/i18n-core_demo.xml

<config>
    <globalProperties>
        <globalProperty>
            <property>locale.allowed.list</property>
            <value>en, en_GB, es, fr, he, km, ar, vi, pt, pt_BR, zh</value>
        </globalProperty>
        <globalProperty>
            <property>default_locale</property>
            <value>pt_BR</value>
            <description>Specifies the default locale. You can specify both the language code(ISO-639) and the country code(ISO-3166), e.g. 'pt_BR' or just country: e.g. 'pt'</description>
        </globalProperty>
    </globalProperties>
</config>

However, this configuration does not seem to work.

Interesting problem! @nethmi I think you’ve dealt with this right? I’d love your help with this situation. The problem is we can’t get the pr_BR to show up in @filipelopes’s distribution (and he has a go-live date in a few weeks). And yet what he’s done above looks exactly like what we had to do to set French as the default locale for the DRC team here.

My initial reaction is: Is there somewhere else where he needs to also specify the default locale?

EDIT: I see that in the few hours it took me to write this, it seems like @filipelopes’ test instance is now correctly showing pt_BR as an option. Will find out what needed to be changed and will make the docs more clear so future folks don’t have to suffer

This has exposed for me that we need some guidance on default_locale in the new How to Translate OpenMRS wiki page, beyond this other talk answer. I’ve started a very rough draft section for this here in the translation guide.
