Cannot access admin after translation

[thaufoo]

Hi!

I have tried translating zen cart to swedish. The front end works as expected but now I cannot access the admin area. Instead, I get the following error:

Warning: main(includes/languages/swedish.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/thaufoo/public_html/zen/admin/includes/init_includes/init_languages.php on line 31

Warning: main(includes/languages/swedish.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/thaufoo/public_html/zen/admin/includes/init_includes/init_languages.php on line 31

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/languages/swedish.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/thaufoo/public_html/zen/admin/includes/init_includes/init_languages.php on line 31

Also, by translating I mean that I previously added swedish as a language using the admin backend; that I basically copied, renamed and modified the file includes/languages/english.php to swedish.php and also copied and renamed the includes/languages/english/ directory to includes/languages/swedish/.

Regards,

Is there nobody how can help? I don't mean to sound rude or make demands, but I'm currently evaluation zen cart for a project and not having access to the admin makes this evaluation really difficult. Anyone who wants to have a go at the error?

Sounds like you have a character in your translated section that is also a code such as ' and in cases where a word is broken up such as it's the ' would create and end of code thus causing the translation to crash.

Verify your translations carefully, it is most cerntain an oversite somewhere

I figured out the problem. I now understand that Zen Cart also needs to have the admin translated and not only the store front end. So basically, I faked a translation in the admin/languages (unsure about the path, though) by copying english.php and english/ and renaming the to swedish.php and swedish.php. I believe I also modified the admin settings file so that it uses proper swedish langauge settings.

Maybe this is obvious for seasoned Zen Cart devs, but I haven't read any documentation, but only solved my problems using trial and error. I still haven't grasped all of the dependencies and the general architecture of Zen Cart, but it is nevertheless promising.
