product language fields backend VM

[Da_Hobit]

I have my shop set-up with 3 language's :
-> french, english and dutch

VM created al the neccessary db entry's for the different type of translations
-> you see that i use a (bought) template and that my db entry's are nv8dt_virtuemart_.... -> can this be causing the problem ?

when i create a product in the backend of VM and i select another language i get the 'No (en-gb) translation in Product, please fill the fields with Flags'
-> what is normal because the first time he actually needs to create the product in the other language

BUT, the i get this error EVERY time i open/edit this particular product in another language then my initial ( dutch ) language
and all the 'fields' are always empty, despite they are correct filled in in the db  -> and correctly showed in the shop.

anybody who can help ? because i don't want to edit every time my products directly in the db ... but i want to edit them in my VM back-end

it seems that ( when i change language in product ) he doesn't 'look' in the db if that product excist and directly says 'No (en-gb) translation in Product, please fill the fields with Flags' or 'No (fr-fr) translation in Product, please fill the fields with Flags' when it's french

thanks for helping

Hi Da_Hobit,

It may be an editor issue. Change your default Editor to "None" :
- on your user settings (Users > User Manager > then Basic Settings > Default Editor)
- OR globally for your website (Global Configuration > Site > Default Editor)

Then you have to type any HTML tags if you need some in the Production Description (long).

Hope it helps.

Hi,

thanks for quick response

- i changed the editor to 'none' tryed to edit a product ... i got NO error when selecting another language ( i thought it was solved )
but now he won't save the edited content or pricetype ( in none of the three languages )

i'm gonna test with other 'editors'

thanks to this topic i found the solution : http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=96783.0

SOLUTION:
1. Save first each product in the different languages.
2. Go to the EXTENSION MANAGER - LANGUAGES.
3. Make the language that you want to input as the STANDARD language.

Go to Virtuemart and you can input the products and the SAVING works

Glad you found a solution! Not practical for every day work (adding a few products), but anyway...
