I am editing the actual lang.php in English with a view to release it to the development team for inclusion in future releases.

The current /en/lang.php is not very good.

Just a few pointers:

1. email, not eMail
2. capitalization in English is not a Random Thing - it looks Awful.

I am also correcting some grammar issues and fixing expressions so that they are actually written in business English.

However, none of the changes appear on the live testing site. I am editing everything within this path: out/new_theme/en/lang.php and the shop is set to use 'new_theme' instead of "basic, but none of the changes to the language appear even if I overwrite the /en/lang.php in 'basic'.

What may be happening? How can I get OXID to see or use the edited file? Is there another undocumented langauge file location in CE 4.1.5_21618 ?

... you are sure to edit the correct file?? There are two main language files (lang.php) - one for the frontend in out/basic/your_language/lang.php and the other one in out/admin/your_language/lang.php.

After editing and uploading to the correct directory you have to empty the cache and after that you should see the changes you made!

Just give it a try! :-)

Thanks god, m8! :-)

Hope you get it working. Otherwise turn back here.

...no...still nothing...

I turned off the proxy, flushed the browser cache and I still see the original EN lang.php.

Can you tell me if you see the following text here:

Variant Selection of 2010 Velocite Isoflow

http://newshop.cycletaiwan.com/Frame...e-Isoflow.html

This is our test playground. I am also hacking apart the basic template so there are some elements missing.

Cheers,

A quick tip: lang files are cached so you have to clean tmp dir after editing them

Thank you Thomas!

That was it.

However, my en/lang.php file has an error. I am trying to track it down and fix it, but help would be appreciated.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' in /home/*****/public_html/newshop/out/new_theme/en/lang.php on line 1056

Attached is the new en/lang.php file - I tried to quote it, but the forum tells me it is 9 times longer than allowed. It is about 50% corrected - this is not a final revision, so even without the error, it is not ready to be used. I just need it to work so that I can see how the changes integrate with the OXID system, before I make any more changes.

Thank you.

Fixed :-)

I'll make the final en/lang.php file available here. Please keep in mind that some changes are specific to our needs, but everything should be in proper business English.

I think this will increase the appeal of OXID to international or English language based customers and end users.

Sorry, I could have told you that cache = /tmp/...

Ok, here is the first "release" version of the updated en/lang.php file.

It should be mostly correct.

I fixed spelling and capitalization issues to give the store ( ) a more professional feel. I also fixed up some sentences so they are more correct.

Lastly, and this is where it may not work out for everyone, I changed some phrases to improve the flow of the interface.

At the very least, this en/lang.php version may provide a better starting point for further customisation or translation work.

Enjoy!
