Locale Buildpack
Purpose of this buildpack
The environment used to build and run applications, based on Ubuntu, only includes the English language pack. You may still want to use a custom language pack. The locale buildpack aims at installing additional language packs.
Details about the default environment can be found on the following page: Scalingo Builder - Our base Docker image
Set up this buildpack for your application
This buildpack is designed to be used in conjunction with one or more additional buildpacks, thanks to the multi buildpack.
For instance, when creating a new Ruby app on Scalingo:
$ scalingo create my-app
$ cat << EOF > .buildpacks
https://github.com/Scalingo/locale-buildpack.git
https://github.com/Scalingo/ruby-buildpack.git
EOF
The above commands configure your application to use the multi buildpack, and
define the .buildpacks file. This file configures the different buildpacks to
apply. In this example, we configure the locale and the Ruby buildpack.
Configuration
Once the buildpack is configured for your app, the language pack to install have to
be defined in a file named .locales which should be located at the root of the
application.
This file contains one locale per line. For instance, to add German and French language pack, this file must contain:
de_DE
fr_FR
Commit that file and trigger a new build. The specified locales will be installed by the buildpack.
Output
At the next deployment, the locale buildpack will install the required language packs:
