Hi Astrid,
we managed it to activate the module and added several new stuff to the translation table. This works fine.
We will make translations for all GUI Elemnts in es_ES, pt_BR, and fr_FR. The dump can be used for the next release of Mapbender if you want.

But changing the locale by this module does'nt change the tooltips of the modules defined via the po files.
Where should these files be located on the system so mapbender can use them?
Kind regards,
Peter
