GitLab Operations

Setting the Default Language to Chinese in GitLab

GitLab filters out languages with less than 90% translation coverage via the SWITCHER_MINIMUM_TRANSLATION_LEVEL variable in the code. Simplified Chinese sits at 84% and Traditional Chinese at 83%.

Navigate to /path/to/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/app/helpers/preferred_language_switcher_helper.rb and modify the code as follows:

- SWITCHER_MINIMUM_TRANSLATION_LEVEL = 90
+ SWITCHER_MINIMUM_TRANSLATION_LEVEL = 80

Then restart GitLab with gitlab-ctl restart.

Adding ICP Filing Information to the Homepage

Navigate to /path/to/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/app/views/devise/shared/_footer.html.haml and add the following:

+ = link_to _("Your ICP Filing Number"), "https://beian.miit.gov.cn/", target: '_blank', class: 'text-nowrap', rel: 'noopener noreferrer'
