language dutch installed

Hai,

I,ve setup a store in english, filled the database with about 90 products, layout more or less OK!.
After a while i installed the dutch language, changed some pages, on the front-end screen there
are 2 flags dutch and english, with english selected all OK, 93 product visible. If i switch to the
dutch flag, front end screen in dutch language but the database in n't present, so i don't see my
93 products.

Anybody who can tell me what's going wrong here ?

A link would be helpful

also after installing the language have you gone back and entered the product descriptions in dutch?

You might have better luck posting your question in the Dutch language-pack's support thread: https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?215272-Dutch-language-pack-support-thread

You should also make the edit described here: https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?215842-Insertion-of-an-additional-language-does-not-copy-existing-category-product-texts&p=1269562#post1269562, which is pretty-much a required edit for multi-language ZC 1.5.4 stores.

Was the above edit applied before or after trying to add the dutch language?

If after was the fix that was posted later n that post applied to then try adding the dutch language again?

@mc12345678 and kobra, lat9

First i edited the suggested lines, then filled th e descriptions again, the database didn't update the descriptions,
so i think the database is not seen !

Did you back-out the changes using DrByte's instructions in the link that mc12345678 posted?

@ lat9

What do you mean with "back-out""

I have read it again "DrByte's instructions in the link that mc12345678 posted" can I do those sql instructions on the present database or on a back-up from a few days ago ?

I'd start by making a backup of your current database (even though it's currently "got issues"), just to be sure. *Then, remove the Dutch language from your store and make sure that your default language (per DrByte's post) is still enabled. *Next, I'd copy the SQL queries that DrByte provided in his posting, paste them into Tools->Install SQL Patches and run those queries. Finally, I'd head to Catalog->Categories/Products to see if the issue's been corrected.

Hopefully, that will correct the issue, but YMMV.:smile:

OK, done, on my english site the dutch flag disappeared, database, i can get in and see that a language is removed
categories/products the second fields for dutch are gone, strange admin still in dutch language !

What next ?

Next steps are to ensure that the PHP patch provided by DrByte is installed, then re-install the Dutch language pack.

OK, on my english store the dutch flag is gone, in the database dutch code is gone, extra fields for products aare gone, strange though,
admin is written in dutch

What's next to do ?

OK, checked PHP patch provided by DrByte is installed, is OK!
Dutch language installed again and all working ok, all the produchts are there !

Thanks you all for your help !

Who is going to take care of swapping the 2 lines, for the next person who would like to install the dutch language ????

I posted a request to the "Additional Languages" thread, requesting that a highlighted "sticky" posting be made to alert ZC 1.5.4 users to the change required. That said, your suggestion (albeit a PITA to the language-pack providers/maintainers) to have the language-packs also include that bugfix sounds like a great idea.

I'm glad we were able to "talk you through" the corrections necessary to get you back!
