en-CA not being used in template Topic is solved

[GPixels]

Did I miss something?

I am making a template from a duplicated Cassiopea template where I simply renamed and replaced the name with my own. I then used Discover to install it and made it the default live template.

The site is set to en-CA, but the "template" is not using en-CA. Instead, it keeps using the en-GB where I have a copy of the new template's ini and sys.ini located as well. Despite having the added language files for the template in the /language/en-CA/ directory.

Note: The website does show the language in the HTML tag as "en-ca"

Enable Debug and Language Debug in Global Configuration. Then inspect what Language Files are loaded.

Thank you for the follow-up.

I enabled the Debugging....the front end seems to be OK as the HTML tag has en-ca in it.
However, it's the admin side that appears to be the issue. It's still loading en-GB. I have the Joomla language en-CA selected and active, though.

There are more language files information missing. Please post the screenshot after scrolling down the pane further, beyond tpl_atum.

Also, check the language files names of the template and their location.

TemplateDetails xml has:

Code: Select all

	<languages folder="language">
		<language tag="en-CA">en-CA/tpl_aj.ini</language>
		<language tag="en-CA">en-CA/tpl_aj.sys.ini</language>
	</languages>

To recap, though from before:

• I duplicated Cassipeia

• Used Discover to find the duplicated and renamed template AJ

• I changed the template's en-GB to en-CA

• I installed the en-CA language in Joomla Languages

• Under Manage Languages, I made en-CA default

• Under Languages-Content, English (Canada) is published

The front-end is loading the template's en-CA and has since the beginning. However, the admin area is the issue; it still shows the HTML tag with en-GB in it.

I'm trying to think if I missed anything, but the issue seems to be that Joomla is not changing to the language that is active.

I attached a new screenshot showing the full list.

Quick update to my last reply...if I go to the active template Site "Style" window, and view the Details tab, I see this:

This template is custom for the AJ template and website - 2023 aaaa.

I added the tpl_aj.ini (and the sys ini one) to the /languages/en-GB folder. I added the "aaaa" to that file and did a "bbbb" to the one in the /languages/en-CA folder to see which one is being used. The aaaa is displayed (from the en-GB folder.

Please attach the screenshot after page "Templates: Edit Style". For this open the template style of your template for Edit.

Only in this screen, you would notice the language files loaded for that page (ie language files of site template style).

Have you chosen the correct Language when logging in to the Administrator?

Default Language is also set separately for Site and Administrator in the User profile.

[GPixels]

Bingo!

I am so used to just doing the username+password, not even noticing the language choice on the login.

Thanks!

Glad that the problem has been resolved. In case, if you always use en-CA as the language in the back-end, you could make the Default Admin Language to be en-CA. With this setup, there is no need to choose the language en-CA while logging into the back-end.

Good recommendation to take note of. Thank you.
