hey, I am not very experienced with the mailman shell and configuration. I configured mailman using the mailman.cnf and I know that I can use "mailman conf" to get all the parameters. But now I would like to change the preferred language of a list. Because despite I set
[mailman] default_language: de
even new lists will still have "en" as preferred language. I checked this just by reading the $language variable in a list template. How can I change the list parameters and how can I make mailman to use the german language files? I found the files, so I know they exist, but still need to make mailman use them...
ok I managed to change the settings via mmclient like:
python3.6 manage.py mmclient
m = client.get_list('test@example.com') m.settings['preferred_language'] = 'de' m.settings.save()
but I really hope there is a more convenient way to adjust list settings?
However, it still does not work, even now where the mailman.cfg setting is set to german and also the list settings, there is still the english welcome message sent by mailman...

This should be on two separate lines:
[mailman] default_language: de

By default, the lists start with a default language of 'en'. You can change the list's default language in the Web UI under
Settings -> List Identity -> Preferred Langauge

the one-liner was just the output of mailman conf, its correct in the conf file

It is new. It will be in Postorius 1.2.5
The implementation is at <https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/commit/3ef8ad602a597b6605060bdabb6a59516443b3bf>.

There does seem to be an issue. I set the preferred_language of a list to 'de' and subscribed an address. The address was sent a confirmation request in German, but upon response, the subsequent "The results of your email commands" message and the list welcome message were in English.
The "The results of your email commands" message was in English because it is built dynamically by the command runner and while the messages are i18n'd, there is as yet no German message catalog.
However the list welcome message should have used the German template. This appears to be a bug.

Actually the issue is the welcome message is sent in the user's preferred language, not the list's preferred language, and a newly created user has no preferred language so the language defaults to English. See <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/608>.
