A more appropriate list for Mailman 3 is mailman-us...@mailman3.org <https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-us...@mailman3.org/>. > But now, I like to change the default language of a list from English to > German, > so that the German templates are selected. > > I found some hint in URL: > https://pythonhosted.org/mailman/src/mailman/commands/docs/create.html, > where they use a command line (mailman client or mailman shell?) to change > the language during creation. A more up to date (and more nicely rendered) version of this is at <http://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/commands/docs/create.html>. > This does not work for me, but the mayer point is, that I got lost between > the different kinds of interfaces. There are currently no i18n translations for Mailman 3. Thus setting the list's preferred language to German will have no real effect. > It seems, that there are: > - Rest server API - start via ".local/bin/ipython3" in my > environment? > - Rest client API - start via "ipython" ? > - mailmanclient / mmclient - start via "python manage.py mmclient" in > mailman-suite_project > - mailman shell - start via ".local/bin/mailman shell" > > What would be the best way of configure a mailing list? For configuration settings not exposed in Postorius, 'mailman shell' is preferred. If a setting is not exposed in Postorius, there is no guarantee it is exposed in the REST API either and even if it is, it may not be exposed in mailmanclient. > The howto from the URL above is working with the mailman shell for me, but > unfortunately, it is > about creating mailling lists, not creating.

Here's a simple example: $ mailman shell -l t...@mailman3.org Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell The variable 'm' is the t...@mailman3.org mailing list >>> m.preferred_language <Language [en] English (USA)> >>> m.preferred_language='de' >>> m.preferred_language <Language [de] German> >>> commit() >>> The 'commit()' isn't necessary if you just exit (control-D) as that does an implicit commit, but if you do a series of changes, without commit(), you can reverse them with abort(). Also note that the above 'mailman shell -l t...@mailman3.org' is the latests syntax. Older versions may not use '-l' before the list name. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
