Dear hello,

I run an non-commercial educational website for Japanese and English students. Now I installed the multi language module 1.4 on my XOOPS 2.07

I also downloaded a japanese language pack and did the sql thingy and the installs.

BUT NOTHING HAPPENS.. can someone please help me? I am not so smart with this XOOPS and its a very important thing for the Japanese students.. I tried so many things nothing works.

I have the language select on the screen but it stays on english..

I did alter the module.textsanitizer.php

it says

// LANGUAGE DEFINITION TAGS BEGINS HERE


/**
* Language : japanese
* Tags : [jp]...[/jp]
**/
$patterns[] = "/\[jp](.*)\[\/jp\]/sU";
if ($xoopsConfig['language'] == "Japanese") {
$replacements[] = '\\1';
} else {
$replacements[] = "english";
}
/** End of japanese language tags definition **/


/**
* Language : english
* Tags : [en]...[/en]
**/
$patterns[] = "/\[en](.*)\[\/en\]/sU";
if ($xoopsConfig['language'] == "english") {
$replacements[] = '\\1';
} else {
$replacements[] = "";
}
/** End of english language tags definition **/

// LANGUAGE DEFINITION TAGS ENDS HERE

cAN SOMEONE PLEASEEEEE HELP US

Hi michieltokyo !

Your tag definition for the Japanese language is wrong. Replace it with this :

Quote:

I used here the language japanese but you got to be sure to use the exact same name of the language you want to use in xoops_root/language folder. For example, if the language foler is named : xoops_root/language/japanese, then you have to exactly use 'japanese', and respect the case.

This should work, thought I never tested it with oriental languages. But it should work.

Keep me informed !

Also, you can go on http://www.notrevie.ca to find tutorials and forum posts about multilanguages.

Hope this helps !

Thank you so much, but still nothing

I copy the whole lot for you

Do you have the japanese language pack in your site ? What are the name of the folder inside xoops_root/language ?

Well to tell you the truth I am not sure what I have.
WHen I go into preferences in the admin and switch there to JAPANESE it works and all is in JAPANESE, so I guess I have the Japanese pack installed...

But when I do it in the main screen or if my students try it with the drop down menu nothing changes..

In the language folder it says this

/ public_html / community / language / (Current Folder)
