You can install the third-party software used by Content Services independently. Some of the software can be installed any time before or after installing Content Services.
Install TinyMCE language packs
Translations in Content Services use language packs. The supported language packs are:
- English (en)
- German (de)
- Spanish (es)
- French (fr)
- Italian (it)
- Japanese (ja)
- Dutch (nl)
- Norwegian - Bokmål (nb)
- Russian (ru)
- Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR)
- Simplified Chinese (zh_CN)
The language used switches according to the browser locale. Ensure that your browser is set up to view the relevant locale, which ensures that the special characters display correctly in your installed instance.
The source-localized files are encoded in ASCII, and the special and accented characters are displayed using escape sequences. The source files have been renamed using the corresponding locale for each language. For example, site-welcome.properties
is called sitewelcome_ fr.properties
for the French version.
If you wish to use a translation that is not supplied with Content Services, then you must add the appropriate TinyMCE language pack for the translation to work correctly.
-
Browse to the TinyMCE website.
-
Download the required TinyMCE language pack.
Note: The next step makes configuration changes to the Alfresco Share application to configure the additional language packs for TinyMCE. This step can only be performed after Content Services has been installed.
-
Unpack the language file to
<TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps/share/modules/editors/tiny_mce/langs
. -
Ensure that the browser cache is cleared or refresh the page.

Test installation
Installation testing checks that Content Services is successfully installed and it’s working as expected after installation.
Some of the points that need to be checked prior to testing your installation are:
- Verify the prerequisites you need to install.
- Verify that, after a successful install, the application works as per the specification document and meets user needs.
- On uninstall, check that all previously installed files and registry entries are removed as expected.
Post-installation checks
Once you’ve successfully installed Content Services, test and gain familiarity with the core features and functions.
Here are some tips to familiarize yourself.
Note: We recommend that you create a test site for testing purpose and put all your test data in that site.
- Can you login using your user name and password. See Signing in.
- Can you create a site. See Creating a new site.
- Can you add new users to the site. See Adding users to a site.
- Can you add pages to the site. See Adding pages to a site.
- Can you add content to a site library. See Adding content items.
- Can you copy or move content from its current location to another folder or any other site. See Copying content and Moving content.
- Can you update content. See Updating content.
- Can you manage permissions for a user or a group for accessing content. See Managing content permissions.
- Can you add a new rule to a folder in the site library and check if it works. See Adding a new rule.
- Can you schedule events, such as meeting, for your team. See Scheduling events.
Post-installation checks (clustered environment)
Once you’ve successfully installed and configured Content Services in a distributed/clustered environment, make sure that the features and customizations you’ve added work properly.
Here are some of the tips to help you test your customizations.
Note: We recommend that you create a test site for testing purposes, and put all your test data in that site.
- Check that the application server is running.
- Can you login using your user name and password. See Signing in.
- Check that various components are communicating with each other.
- For a clustered installation, check if when one node is down, the request is forwarded to the next available node.
- Check if clustering is working properly by running the cluster validation tool in the Admin Console.
- Check if you are using a clustering-enabled license.
- Change the cluster-related properties in the
alfresco-global.properties
file, and check if all the nodes are up and running.
Note: After you’ve finished testing, remember to delete the test site or test data in order to clear your database.
