Help needed: Using language pack, unable to redirect

Zen Cart v1.3.8a, fresh installation
Indonesian Language pack v. 1.0.1 for ZC1.3.8a

Problem: Using the website in Indonesian, Zen Cart returns blanks after adding an item to the shopping cart. Highlighting the browser's URL field and pressing "Enter" key on the keyboard forces Zen Cart to re-display the page with the item entered into the shopping cart.

I suspect that this is a redirect problem because sometimes, switching to Indonesian language from English also shows the same symptom (the reverse is not a problem). Additionally, clicking a banner does not redirect the browser to the URL associated with the banner.

This only happens when the language is Indonesian. The English part of the website performs without any problems.

The FAQ cites that the most common cause for blanks is failed upload. The Indonesian language pack was uploaded with Filezilla and appears to be intact.

Can anyone suggest a solution for this without having to go though hundreds of files in the language pack?

Thanks in advance.

You probably have extra blank lines after the closing ?> in one or more of your language files.

That was fast. Thanks for the quick reply, DrByte
I d/l-ed Debug Error Logging Utility. I'll try it soon.

Great! A very useful utility. I found that in includes/languages/indonesian/credit_cards.php there were extra spaces before and after php tag. Removing them resolved the problem.

I hope this also helops other Indonesian Language Pack users.

(Mod, can you change "Help needed" to "Resolved" in the title? I don't see a button to edit it myself. TiA.)

Hi, Dr Bite. Version 1.3.9h I've faced the similar issue. Translating into Russian, whenever I clik on submit the item to my shopping cart I recieve a blank page. Hitting back I see the item in the cart, I try to delete it, - blank page, but deletion itself has happened. This regards only to my Russian side. I've read these two tutorials you mentioned above and certainly going to double check the code. But what is interesting though is the fact that german language pack is working perfectly despite many php files, not all, do actually have opening <?php , but do not have closing ?> tags. I have a little dought whether it's OK. My guess this might as well to be the issue. Do I have to compare with languages/english folder or with the language/german folder in nicely working german pack?

Yee! :thumbsup: Thank you, I've already noticed that tutorial. Not being an expert I was little confused seeing that.
