Hello Mahara experts, 

In the German language pack, the “About me” section on the user/view.php?id=$ID page is not displayed in German. All other headings are. 
What do I need to add to the language pack to change “About me” to “Über mich”? 

Important: I want to modify the language pack on the server, not edit the page manually. 

Thank you for your help

Hi Daniel,

The language string should be in the langpack. I am wondering if the site template for the profile page has the wrong version of the string (English) and so when creating new people they get a copy of that string.

Can you check the following:

Got to the admin portfolios page ( admin/site/views.php )and check that the Profile template has the 'about me' bock with the correct title.

You can also check this and fix things up via database:

select bi.title from block_instance bi join view v on v.id = bi.view where bi.blocktype = 'profileinfo' and v.template = 2;

You can also update it and any other pages that are incorrect with:

update block_instance set title = 'Über mich' where blocktype = 'profileinfo' and title = 'About me';

Cheers

Robert
