Site Language changed after upgrade to Setinel™ 1.1.0

Regular Joined: Jan 24, 2004 Posts: 81 Location: Sweden

Hi!

I upgraded to Sentinel 110 and noticed that my default language on my site where in English but I use Swedish as default....

I have copied the lang-english.php and named it lang-swedish.php so I have them both but still after clearing my cahe and go to ma page it is in English.

What I did to make Swedish defalt again is a little change on line 49 in Sentinel.php

Code:

if(!isset($lang)) { $lang = "english"; }

changed to swedish

Code:

if(!isset($lang)) { $lang = "swedish"; }

I post this if there is any oters that have the same problem Wink

same here, and if i delete lang-english.php from sentinel folder, leaving there Only my language's file, it says

Quote:

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'language/sentinel/lang-english.php'

in ........../html/includes/sentinel.php on line 53

A solution is that spcdata said

I have replaced the code in "// Load required lang file" with the one from Setinel™ 1.0 and that works fine, and I don't have to go into the code and manualy change it.

I wonder if there is a problem with this part of code Question

as You changed it.

This code

Code:

// Load required lang file


if(!isset($lang)) { $lang = "english"; }


if (!eregi("\.","$lang") AND file_exists($lang_dir."language/sentinel/lang-$lang.php")) {


  require_once($lang_dir."language/sentinel/lang-$lang.php");


} else {


  require_once($lang_dir."language/sentinel/lang-english.php");


}

has 2 occurrences of the word "english". Did you change BOTH to "swedish"?

No I just changed the first one like this:

Code:

// Load required lang file 


if(!isset($lang)) { $lang = "swedish"; } 


if (!eregi("\.","$lang") AND file_exists($lang_dir."language/sentinel/lang-$lang.php")) { 


  require_once($lang_dir."language/sentinel/lang-$lang.php"); 


} else { 


  require_once($lang_dir."language/sentinel/lang-english.php"); 


}

Try changing them both and see if that fixes it.

I only had to change the first one to make it work and it's the same if I change them both to swedish it does not matter, but the question is why you have change the working "lang code" from Setinel™ 1.0 ? in that one you don't have to make the changes manually.

There were problems with some sites even finding the lang file so it was changed. Please remember we are still fine tuning some sections of the script and the lang section is one of those Sad

We may very well revert back to the old code or maybe a modified copy of the old code.

there is no problem for me about this just wanted to make a notice about it for the records, and so other users can find a temporary solution for it Wink

the language problem is not solved for me maybe because I dont use english language on my site?
I want to use this code but I am not a coder and something is wrong can u ppl look at it?

Code:

// Load required lang file


$language = $nuke_config['language']; 


if (!isset($lang)) { include_once($lang_dir."language/sentinel/lang-english.php");} 


     elseif{ (!eregi("\.","$lang") AND file_exists($lang_dir."language/sentinel/lang-$lang.php")) {


  include_once($lang_dir."language/sentinel/lang-$lang.php");}


  else {


 include_once($lang_dir."language/sentinel/lang-$language.php");


  }


}

This "seems" to work if language is set not english but there is no language file to load it loads the english file.

Code:




// Load required lang file


if(!isset($lang)) { $lang = "{$nuke_config['language']}"; }


if (!eregi("\.","$lang") AND file_exists($lang_dir."language/sentinel/lang-$lang.php")) {


  require_once($lang_dir."language/sentinel/lang-$lang.php");


} else {


  require_once($lang_dir."language/sentinel/lang-english.php");


}

I should mention the alternative language files need to be in the /language/sentinel/ directory to be found.

hey that look much better I think this is what I wanted Very Happy

I am gonna try later

thanks

WE could include a ton of language files for each language but we know english so they would all need to be translated Wink

Plus with the work on 2.0.0 proceding the language file is changing some so we would have to include english in each version until there were translated files to provide. Over at NukeScripts.net I have a section that users can upload translations to for any script out there and I would be happy to package the translations with the master package when and if there are some posted.

for start u can copy the english language to all other languages.
I dont know where the script use all the definitions from language file maybe u can split that in 2 files
messages for admin,blocks and normal use of the site in one file
messages to hackers/baned ppl in other file, or not in a language file, this can be only in english from my part (or brazilian Laughing

).

for next version maybe u can take in consideration the $newlang or $currentlang I dont know what is used when u choose from select language block, like I say I am new to this.

thanks

You can add the same code to the block right below the die() statement and it should also work for switching languages.

Just wanted to say thanks.
My site uses Hebrew, and suddenly users are complaining the encoding has changed to Western English.

Looking at this chain solved my problem, though I'm using Sentinel 2.02 and the langauge line at the code didn't match the first mentioned.

In my sentinel.php the line was:

Code:

if(!isset($lang)) { $lang = {$nuke_config['language']}; }

changing it to:

Code:

if(!isset($lang)) { $lang = "hebrew"; }

solved my problem.

thanks again!!!
