Multilingual J2.5 not working

Post by magos88 » Mon Jun 01, 2015 11:11 am

Hello guys. I was asked to add two languages on a greek website, English and Bulgarian. Not the first time to do it, have done it multiple times on J3.0. However this time, nothing seems to work correctly.

1. Language switcher, only shows the flag in English.
2. Even in english, when switching to it, the menu is not translated, despite the fact that in the administration it is translated.
3. When selecting english as main language, the username is correct www.mydomain.gr. When I turn it to greek, as it should be, it adds /en: www.mydomain.gr/en and considers it as a home page.

Content Language is configured, Template for each language, menu for each language plus one for all is created. However the problems still exists. Any ideas? The url is www.drougkas.gr

Try the following:

(a) Go to the Module Manager
(b) Filter the modules by Admin
(c) Publish the module "Multilanguage Status"

After this a link "Multilanguage Status" would appear in the status bar. Click on that link and a pop-up window showing various settings of the Multilingual Status would appear. Generally, the information in this window would be sufficient to troubleshoot the problem.

In your reply, post an image of the "Multilanguage Status" window.

Both Language Code and Language Filter are configured properly and enabled. I cannot understand what happens. Everything seems to be correct but it still keeps showing only english flag, without the translations to work.

Can you please attach a copy of the Content Languages screen?

Also, check whether there is any space or non-printable characters after or before the language codes.

I do not mind looking into the issue if access is provided to me. If you decide to do so, make sure to take a copy of the site files (along with sub-directories) and the database content by exporting the content using the tools such as phpMyAdmin.
