Hi,
I uploaded the CustomFileds component and mentioned that the fileds doesnt get the data from locale-file. (e.g. it shows admin:customfields instead of "Benutzerfelder" or "User fields").
Same behaviour with components
- Feedback
- FirstLogin
- Menuebuilder and
- Announcement
Whats wrong and how can I fix that?
Thanks for your help!

Just had a look into a rather old German locale file of custom fields - and that one in fact won't work because of a wrong last line.
So please try to change the last line to
ossn_register_languages('de', $en);
I did another test:
I changed the ossn.en.php to ossn.de.php and changed "register languages" to "de". Just to be sure the former created de-file is okay or not.
So, nothing changed. It seems, that (in my case) no de-files will be used.
The strange thing: The component "Footer Links" works perfectly. In English and German.
I am lost.

Switching to english locale, all works fine.
Switching back to de locale, will result in behaviour described in inital post.
Even with ossn.de.php in components language directory.
Edit: Switched to english language, edited the english locale of CustomFields, saved it and it showed the changes Ive made. It seems that the de-file isnt recognized...

Try to change your langauge into English in profile edit page and see if it works?

Hi, Arsalan!
Ah! I see.
But the component "CustomFileds" does have locale-files. Both, english and german.(../CustomFileds/locale/ossn.de.php)
Checked for the ossn_register_languages parameter and changed it in the german locale file to ossn_register_languages('de', $de); (Was ossn_register_languages('en', $en); ).
Flushed the cache but no change!
Edit: Adding new locales doesnt work either. (e.g. Feedback component).
Edit: Changes to the goblue theme arent displayed (changed the background image only).
Maybe its a server configuration problem?

UPDATE: Changes to the theme are working! Forget to flush the cache. :/
But locales of the components still arent used.

That means that your website language is in German, and the components aren't translated into German, you may translate it by going into component folder, then locale , then copy ossn.en.php to ossn.de.php and start translating (remember to change code in bottom to en to de)
Detailed instructions can be found here : https://www.opensource-socialnetwork.org/wiki/view/2132/how-to-translate-ossn
Due to the many requests in the past for additonal features and components we have decided to develope a premium version. Features like Hashtags, Videos, Polls, Events, Stories, Link Preview, etc included in it.
