Language Problem

[HBee]

Hello

Wondering if you can help me.

I have installed a language pack and set the default site language in administration to that. Now when i go to check it on the front end everything has disappeared. I get error messages "Product can no longer be found" Now when I switch back to English, all categories and products are listed again.

What causes this and how can i fix it?

Thanks.

Looks like you didn't follow the procedure described here:

As a result, you probably started to enter product descriptions in your language, but stored them in the en-GB database tables.

Yes, I have but I didn't intend to have multi language webshop so all my content and menu language was set to all, I expected same behaviour as with regular joomla content. Should this be reported as bug? Or a feature request to support "all" as language setting?

Keeping "all" as language setting should be no problem. But when you install Virtuemart, it picks the language you have set in Joomla as default site (frontend) language as the primary language for Virtuemart. Also, I think (but I'm not shure) that in your case you can leave the 'Multilingual shop' field in VM2 configuration empty. At the moment I don't know if it also works when you select your desired language there, because al my installations are bilingual.
