Language Files

[abtlang]

Sorry, but there seems to be a lot of confusion on how to instal a different language file. I've looked through the forums and there are a few mentions of it - but the solutions given are not at all clear and are often conflicting.

Would it be possible to have a post with step-by-step instructions on how to change from the English language version to another language? Or step-by-step instructions in the documentation area on the main webpage?

I bought a license for eSyndicat precisely because the ads said it could be used in different languages - but for the moment that doesn't seem to be true.

Many thanks in advance for any help,

Terry.

Thanks, Dave.

Unfortunately, those steps don't work - at least for the Spanish language file. The language file just won't install and all we get is an error message.

I must admit my original post should have been titled "Spanish Language File", and I should have made it clear I was referring to that, rather than language files in general. There are other posts on here about it, so there is obviously a bug or some other kind of problem in that particular file.

In the end I solved the problem by opening the sql language file, on my computer, in Notepad. I then used the "replace all" function to replace {prefix} with dir_. After that the file installed with no problems.

I hope this helps others who are having problems with the Spanish language file.

Best regards,

Terry.
