Hello.
We are using OJS 3.0.
Our journal has a good appearance, except for this:
in several spaces of our web the symbol #, as a code, appears instead the clear link.
Have you tried to reload the locale from the site settings? But NOTE, I think that it could affect the custom email templates, if you journals has them. I am not sure.
Thanks for the immediate answer, I add the translation on lib/pkp/locale/es_ES/submission.xml and it works. I had to compare that file with the one located on en_EN, the ##journal.viewAllIssues## was missed on the submission.xml of es_ES, maybe that’s the reason of the translate problem. I also had 3 or 4 other translate issues like this, so I follow the same procedure in other folders, and it works.
I do most of the small fixed just by editing the xml files with a text editor, so that is fine as well. However, when you upgrade next time, your changes may be lost if the next release does not have that key translated.
our site is having the same problem. what exactly did you do so solve the issue? did you install the translator plugin? if so, how do you make a backup of the database? thank you!
Hi, in resume I compared the archive placed at lib/pkp/locale/es_ES/submission.xml with the lib/pkp/locale/en_EN/submission.xml
If you try this, the es_ES/submission.xml file may not have some lines of code. So if this lines are missed in the file, try to copy the corresponding lines from the en_EN/submission.xml file. I remember that the text were quoted, so if there is no line (example: ##journal.viewAllIssues##) yo have to copy that line from the en_EN/submission.xml file to the es_ES/submission.xml file and complete the missing text with the correct translation.
When I try this, the translator plugin don’t work very well for Spanish language.
The same error could appear in other .xml files, so you can repeat this procedure for similar pages. Always using the en_EN files for reference, and comparing their code lines with the es_ES .xml files.
Mmmmm… are you looking at the files of the OJS folder? If you have CPanel you can use the file editor to search for the submission.xml file. The folder which contains the submission.xml file is the one you have to use to follow the procedure I described.
which lines should i specifically look for? can you give me an example? our site is in english. where will i base the procedure you gave if i will only use english? thank you.
i think i already understand this. it seems that en_US is not “activated” that is why only the codes appear and not the exact text. how do i “activate” this? when i go to website settings and in the languages tab, the language page is blank.
