## ProFTPD module `mod_lang`

Internalization and Localization
RFC2640, LANG, NLS (Native Language Support)

The `mod_lang` module is ProFTPD's module for handling the LANG command. This module is contained in the `mod_lang.c` file for ProFTPD 1.3.x, and is compiled in whenever the `--enable-nls` configure option is used. Installation instructions are discussed here.

The most current version of `mod_lang` can be found in the ProFTPD source distribution:

      http://www.proftpd.org/

## Directives

- LangDefault
- LangEngine
- LangPath

## LangDefault

Syntax: LangDefault language
Default: LangDefault en
Context: "server config", `<VirtualHost>`, `<Global>`
Module: mod_lang
Compatibility: 1.3.1rc1

The `LangDefault` directive is used to specify the default language of specific server configuration.

Example:

      # Set the default to be Italian
      LangDefault it_IT

## LangEngine

Syntax: LangEngine on|off
Default: LangEngine on
Context: "server config", `<VirtualHost>`, `<Global>`
Module: mod_lang
Compatibility: 1.3.1rc1

The `LangEngine` directive enables or disables the module's handling of the LANG command. If it is set to off this module does no localization of responses.

## LangPath

Syntax: LangPath >path
Default: None
Context: "server config"
Module: mod_lang
Compatibility: 1.3.1rc1

The `LangPath` directive is used to configure an alternative directory from which `mod_lang` will load locale files. By default, `mod_lang` uses $prefix/`locale/`, where $prefix is where you installed `proftpd`, e.g. `/usr/local/`.

The path parameter must be an absolute path.

Example:

      LangPath /etc/proftpd/locale

Example:

      LangPath /path/to/ftpd/locale

## Installation

The `mod_lang` module is distributed with ProFTPD. To enable use of DSO modules, use the `--enable-nls` configure option:

      ./configure --enable-nls
      make
      make install

This option causes `mod_lang` to be compiled into `proftpd`.
