so do i understand that there is and should only be 1 english.php file? and it has to be in includes/language? if i want to overwrite soething in it i can rewrite and save to custom folder?
and do all items come from language/english/meta_tags and not language?/custom/meta_tags?
NP. Glad I could help!
The template override system can get confusing. The "default" file is:
includes/languages/english.php
To modify it, create: includes/languages/CUSTOM/english.php (CUSTOM being what you've named your "new" template that you're creating.)
BUT...
There's also an: includes/languages/english/CUSTOM/ folder. That's where a lot of your other files will go that you modify, like for the shopping cart message (make sure you change that if you haven't already), etc.
As DrByte, said if you use another language, it would be different but only because you're using a different language.
The rule of thumb is, you need to look through all the folders in the includes directory. Wherever you see a "classic" folder, you can make a folder for your CUSTOM template (whatever name you give it). Make sure when naming folders, you name them all the same. Don't change spelling or case or add hyphens, etc. If you start out with a template folder name of mynewtemplate, all the folders you create must have that same folder name or the ZC can't find them.
