Translation not working on products and categories

[ignacio.correia]

Hello,

I have VM2 2.0.22b in a J2.5 installation.

It took me 2 months to develop a website, translate it, optimized it, etc, when I was going to finish the translation in VM Product and VM Category there is when the problems started.
When installing VM, it never mentioned that en-GB has to be the default language  !

Everything works 100% if english is default but in my case it is not and cannot be

When I put spanish by default and try to translate products and categories it just does not work.
I have been google for the last 6 ours and found ppl with the same problem. So I decided to see if I was right so I searched in all VM files and for my surprise and worst scenario I found what I didn't wanted:

All this files are searching and using the ENGLISH, but why?  Is there any fix to this? I am really not in the mood to delete everything in joomfish, change from spanish to english and then translated to spanish everything.

I can't believe this, how is this possible, there is a featured called DEFAULT LANGUAGE in Joomla, why they didn't use it? I expected to launch the site next week, but I don't believe I can now.

As usual, thanks in advanced for any help, I know it takes a lot of work and effort behind this project. I am just frustrated. Congratulations on a great product

sorry, ehrm, what? RTFM? You dont find it? http://docs.virtuemart.net/tutorials/36-multilingual-store/99-multilanguage-setup.html
You do not need english, but if you install joomla and you do nothing, the default language is english. So when you install vm,.. your default is again english

[ignacio.correia]

Let me re-explain it easier.

1 - Install VM
2 - Set another language as default, can not be English
3 - Create a product
4 - Try to translate it to English - HERE IT DOES NOT WORK

The problem is that on step 4. If a language is default and then you try to translate to English product or categories it won't work, it is a bug.

I have the exact same problem with VM 2.0.22C and Joomla 2.5.14.
I'm running English and Danish.

Any ideas how to get this working?

[ignacio.correia]

Yes we manage to fix the problem.
Are you using admin tools? are you using htacess?

If so disbale both and try to see if it works without them.
