Email language overrides are not working

[changlee]

Hello Vmers!
I have set a greek language oaverride eg:
COM_VIRTUEMART_MAIL_SUBJ_VENDOR_C="123... [%3$s], Επιβεβαιωμένη παραγγελία από %1$s, σύνολο %2$s"

But the received email includes the default greek override:
COM_VIRTUEMART_MAIL_SUBJ_VENDOR_C="[%3$s], Επιβεβαιωμένη παραγγελία από %1$s, σύνολο %2$s"

Without the 123... that I have added for test.

Why is that happening?

Thanks in advance

Does it work if you add the override into both, frontend and backend override folders?

The only changes that are working are those at el-GR.com_virtuemart.ini

If I make any override for front end or administrator, it does not works.

Maybe it is related to the character encoding of the emails. If you open the email in your browser, does it show utf-8 encoding or greek-encoding?

How can I check the character encoding? All emails are opened through gmail or hotmail.

But the email is generated before arriving to client.

How can I check the character encoding? All emails are opened through gmail or hotmail.

In my email-client I simply open the email and then right-click in the text. Then it displays an option 'Open Message in WebBrowser'. In Firefox and Internet Explorer you can then select 'View' > 'Encoding'.

I experienced the exact same problem with the same email subject lines.
After digging found out that the overrides has to be in the Administrator section. So I copied my override language file to  /administrator/language/overrides and now it works correctly.
Hope this helps.

Exactly! I save the VALUES both for administrator and site, and it is working perfect :-)
