It means you have missing language files. Check your admin/includes/languages folder.

you need to treat me with kid gloves, I am a total newbie.

What files should I have in there? What am I looking for?

it wasn't like this at the begining
Have you attempted to change the text displayed??

You might have left out the enclosing pair of single quotes around your desired text...

First off, do you have a folder in there called english and a file called english.php?

yes to both. Folder ENGLISH and file english.php
I did edit that file. I think it was to change "lb" to "kg" from memory. Which worked fine and I certainly don't think I touched anything else.

To make that change you would have had to edit both the admin and the store versions of the english.php file.

Is it possible that you put the store version (normally lives in includes/languages folder) back where the admin version should go (admin/includes/languages folder)?

yes, pretty sure they went back in the right place. Think I have both the original files still on my HD as that is how I name them admin_includes_languages_english.php etc so I have the full path for reference. And both those files still contain "lb" not kg's.

Is there something about each file that will enable me to identify them so I can see if I labelled them correctly in the first place? Then I can reload them and see if it fixes the problem.

the admin version has "* @package admin" as its 3rd line and all the "BOX" definitions that you're missing. The store version doesn't have either.

ok.....
it must be the right one then. Just download what is on the server in ADMIN and these are the first 3 lines

Hold the boat.

might have just found out the problem :O

give me 5 minutes

:oops:

All Hail the Mighty kuroi :clap:

somehow the admin english file was truncated so really all the code was gone except the first 40 or so lines. Have no idea how it happened but thank God for back ups :smile:

Now to slink quietly into the hole from whence I came :blush:

oh and a big :hug: to my now favourite Zenner
