I have the site set to detect language by browser setting. Its the fastest way for me to quickly switch between language versions. However, when I switch languages, the site does not display everything properly. It will be a mixture of english and Japanese (Japanese is garbled in case of switching to EN). I have to go use the site cleanup tool to get all the site text displaying properly after changing my browser language. I can't get a smooth transition between the two languages. Is there a way to do this? (no translation of comcode pages was done, just translation of site and ocportal software)

I'm slightly confused by this, but the garbling you can be solved by editing the 'charset' language string in the English language pack to 'utf-8'. You can do that quite easily from inside ocPortal. However if it is default content, it should be saved also in English, which is why I am confused. Especially if English was used at installation. If I answered something that you think should be in the documentation, please take the initiative and add it to the community documentation.

Setting the English character set to utf-8 (global.ini or global.po) took care of the language garbling. When I switch my browser language pref from JA to EN, much of the site and content is still in Japanese. I have to use the website cleanup tools to flush the caches. Then everything displays properly. Same is true vice versa (EN->JA). Is there any way to avoid having to flush the caches each time you language change on ocPortal? If I have a member who decides to switch their language prefs, or simply wants to see news and content in both languages, it could be problematic. |

2011-08-08_1156 - ocProducts's library As you can see, content edits (the menu change in this example) are done individually for each language. So when I edit in English mode it only edits English, and when I edit in Japanese it only edits in Japanese. Comcode pages are a bit different, as it asks you which language to edit when you start editing.

Please first check your running the latest version. If so, I am happy to test on your server if you give me something like FTP access so I can debug it.
