Constants coming up instead of text assigned to constants

I'm suddenly having issues with constants being displayed not as the text assigned to the constants but the actuall constant name.

For example on the order status admin page I'm seeing this:

ENTRY_CUSTOMER

instead of

Customer:

The odd thing is I haven't touched anything in the admin folder. I haven't customized it one bit. Please help!

In admin - tools - developers tools type in the constant you are seeing then select admin/catalog.

This will show you the files that you need to look at for potential problems -

or could be a page is missing from your server folders - compare to full file set.

I've gone that route and the file that contains those constants is there. I'm getting this same issue in auto-generated emails.

Sounds like you're missing several language files, either from your storefront side and/or the admin.
