Hey,

Congratulations on the 1.4 release, and thank you for making this amazing software!

I noticed this statement in the manual: "New language plugin format to support Joomla 1.6.0 language changes".

This is probably why the 1.3.1 language plugin won't work on CB1.4/J1.6.

So, my question is: Is it possible to use the 1.3.1 language file on CB1.4/J1.6 without actually installing a plugin? Just by ftp'ing the lang files to the site?

Or, can a person with low coding skills (like myself) make the necessary changes in the lang files to make it work on CB1.4/J1.6?

Thx in advance:)

Thanks for your quick reply.

CB 1.3.1 language plugins will still install on CB 1.4 and Joomla 1.6.

Yes, the plugin did install with no hassles. I've also triple checked that it's published, and I've even reordered the lang plugins so it appears before English in the list. But nothing is shown in my language (Norwegian). Could there be any setting I am missing?

It would really help to know what language you are looking for ...

It's the Norwegian language plugin for 1.3.1. I did write that in the second post, but of course, I should have written it in the first post.

I found a different topic describing the same problem:
www.joomlapolis.com/forum/148-cb-131-language-plugins/150621-solved-change-language-in-cb-using-joomla-16

The fix in the other topic was to change this in the (in this case) dutch language file, nl-NL.xml:

<metadata>
<name>Dutch (The Netherlands)</name>
</metadata>

into this:

<metadata>
<name>dutch</name>
</metadata>

A Spanish user posts that this worked for him too with the Spanish language.

But that was not the issue for me. My xml file was already like this:

<metadata>
<name>norwegian</name>
</metadata>

So, about this:

We've implemented language tag support such as en-GB for english or ru-RU for russian. The language plugin must be designed to use this tag usage or in Joomla 1.6 the language plugin MAY fail IF the language name is NOT in english for example if the name is Россию instead of Russian then the language plugin will NOT load and the plugin would need to be designed to use ru-RU instead.

As far as I can tell, my language was named "norwegian" everywhere, I haven't found any translations that could break it like you describe.

For example instead of "english" in folder and file names you'd use "en-GB" instead.

I've changed all instances of "norwegian" to "nb-NO", but it still doesn't work.

I installed the 1.3.1 plugin first, and then made the changes via FTP. Will it be any different if I make the changes locally on my computer, repack it and reinstall it?

Feeling kind of lost here... Hope I'm not just being stupid.
