Language gif not showing

Hi everyone , hows ya doin ?
need some help...
Just installed a new spanish language pack to my shop and and followed everything to the line ...did everything throuh FTP , installed the language in ADMIN/INCLUDES/LANGUAGE and in INCLUDES/LANGUAGES.
Everything has gone over fine ...went to my shop admin ..logged in ..created new language all good ..but then I have the yellow message at the top saying
'MISSING LANGUAGE FILES OR DIRECTORIES....Spanish' and the gif for the lanuage flag is not showing just a white box and the red X...so i checked all the files in Spanish language folder and they are all there including the gif and php.

whats wrong ? any ideas how to rectify this?

Anthony

Re: Language gif not showing

Hi,

This is probably not the solution but it could be. :smile:
did you put them in a folder called spanish or Spanish?
If it is a Linux server the two folder names are different folders for the OS.

Re: Language gif not showing

hi Azrahn,
thanks for the reply...when you ask 'did I put them in a folder named Spanish or spanish' do you mean that the named folders should both consist of lowercase lettering and did you mean the folders in my server ADMIN/INCLUDES/LANGUAGE and in INCLUDES/LANGUAGES ?

I will go and rename them all lowercase now and see what that does.

regards
Anthony

Re: Language gif not showing

Hi,

in admin panel use lowercase and in your folders use lowercase.
And yes linux is case sensitive so beware:smartalec:

Re: Language gif not showing

Hi,

Just rename the folders that you created/copied to lowercase names and also do this in the (zen) admin panel. That should work.
Do you have a link so i can have a look?

Ronald.
