Problem after Updating Translation

[charliez]

I updated the Spanish translation to both, es_MX (Spanish Mexico) and to 3.6.1

 

I grabbed the English file and the current Spanish file and using WinMerge proceeded to fix the translation...

 

Then erased the Spanish.txt file in my server and replaced it with the brand spanking new and updated file and now the translated text does not appear...

 

HELP!!!

 

I think that it has to do with the encoding of the file... I have tried unicode/BOM and UTF-8 and nothing happens... no text whatsoever...

 

if I change to another language it works fine.... what am I doing wrong?

 

I do not know how to encode it in ISO8859, maybe that is the answer so I need help converting to ISO8859 too...

 

thanks in advance...

 

 

EDIT: I already found out how to convert to ISO8859 and still does not work...??? HELP!!

Any clues on this one? Matt?

Could it be the SSL? (I dont think so)

[charliez]

Just in case somebody has this problem in the future... the solution is:

 

1) make sure there are no " or ; missing in the language file.

 

2) for Western-languages (Spanish, Portuguese, French, etc...) use ISO-8859-1 in the Configuration->Locale tab and all will work fine.

 

Hope this helps...

$_LANG["sitemap"] = "Mapa del sitio";

 

This seems to be crashing the lang file spanish.txt. Everything goes blank. I remove it and everything is still blank. any suggestions?

 

Thanks
