Language problem

Hello, I have installed osCommerce in a server and it is fully operational, but I have a problem with the languages. I have installed a new language, Portuguese, and I was able to add products and so, but when I am browsing the store in Portuguese instead of seeing for example in the categories menu the word "categorias" I see "BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES". I looks has if the index file can't get to the file where the variable like "BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES" are being define, that file would be portugues.php in the same directory where the folder portugues is, and it is there. The same does not append in the administrator panel, only in the catalog. Can any one help me with this problem.

Hi There

 

Have you defined the text in catalog/includes/languages/portugese.php ?

Are all folder/files permissions set to 755/644?

My advice is personal and not from my company. Use it at your own risk!

 

Rules.

1. Backup before making any changes.

2. Try one thing at a time.

3. Write down all steps you take.

4. Make any changes on a development server/domain before on a live site.

5. BACKUP

First check in your shop admin and see what the directory name osc is expecting.

 

When you click on english, this is what you get

 

/includes/languages/english

 

Assuming you get portuguese

 

Look in /includes/languages

 

you should see a directory called portuguese and a file called portuguese.php. (check capitalisation is the same, in linux P is not the same as p)

 

Check the permissions are the same as the other files and directories in there.

 

Look in english.php for BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES and if it is in there check the same line is in portuguese.php (around line 78 in mine)

 

Post your results and a url.
