Title: Langauge not showing
Post by: tonybenny on August 21, 2012, 08:08:26 AM
Hi
I am using joomla 2.5.1 and Virtuemart 2.0.2. Currently its in the server with PHP Version 5.3.6.
I have moved the website to another server with PHP Version 5.2.17.
Now language file for virtuemart is not showing. Like instead of "Add to Cart" it showing "COM_VIRTUEMART_CART_ADD_TO" also in other virtuemart page languages also.

Hello,

I think first you will consider to upgrade both your joomla and VM version (in vm2 newer version there are layout changes).

Now, back to your issue. Have to checked if after your transfer all your files has been transferred? Have you select any other languages for the front both in joomla and vm configuration? On VM language settings check if you have the option untranslated strings in English.

Give us some more information ... a good way always to transfer your site is using akeeba backup (there is a free version)

It is worked in the sever with PHP 5.3

But when I copy the files and database to another server with PHP 5.2.17, the language for VM is not displaying.

Hello,

You have at least to upgrade to PHP 5.2.4+ (i think is better 5.3.x).  Take a look here http://www.joomla.org/technical-requirements.html
It's joomla requirements, prior versions of php 5.2.4 are handling different the language files.

I think by upgrading to PHP 5.2.4+ will resolve that issues. Also please update your joomla to 2.5.6 and vm to 2.0.8e at least (your current are too old).

*Keep in mind that upgrade to PHP 5.3 will break any sites requiring Zend were encoded with PHP 5.2.
