Problems with Language files

I am having problems with language files in wfchannels module (1.0.5).

My understanding was that I create a subdirectory under /language, e.g. /language/spanish, then copy the files from /english subdirectory, translate the appropriate text, and when I switch the language, it will read the correct text. At least that's the way it seems to work with several other modules.

However, I did it for wfchannels, but I am getting weird effect:

In English it reads correctly the value of: _MD_SENDERNAME, i.e. "Sender's name" but when I switch to Spanish, it shows me "_MD_SENDERNAME".

What do I have to do to ensure that it takes the Spanish translation from the /language/spanish/main.php?

I've tried to add in the index.php something like this:

include_once XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/modules/wfchannel/language/".$xoopsConfig['language']."/main.php";

but this didn't have any effect.

You can see:

Please switch between the UK and Spanish flags to see the issue.

Thanks for any help...

Make sure the translation isn't broken and has the correct formatting: define(_MD_SENDERNAME,"Translation");. Make sure the Translation doesn't have any "or 's.

I've copied the English original files into /spanish, and then translated them, so:

define("_MD_SENDERNAME", "Sender's name");

became:

define("_MD_SENDERNAME", "Nombre del remitente");

but it doesn't work.

Problem fixed. One of the quotations marks was in a wrong place
