Hello,

We have the language package for Mahara 1.3 thanks to the help of Alejandro López, who translated it.

However, the following errors have been reported:

There are strings which are still displayed in English such as:

$string['topicsimfollowing']

$string['recentactivity']

$string['latestviews"]

Even tough I added:

$string['locales'] = 'es_ES.UTF-8,spanish'; 

in the langconfig file, as Richard suggested, some dates still appear in English.

According to Alejandro, when he tested the Japanese and German language packages, the aforementioned strings also appear in English.

Is there any  internal php function whcih may be causing the problem?

Thanks for your help.

Wether es_ES.UTF-8,spanish works for dates depends on the operating system settings of your server. Does your operating system support this locale?

There seems to be a bug in the software, as , once Mahara has been installed using English  as a main language, you can only translate those strings by modifiying the database.

The community member who discovered it is going to report a bug, I believe.

If you already notified of the error, but have not yet confirmed.
I am waiting. Here is the link from the report:

Besides those strings, there's also some strings in:

lib/pieforms/pieform/elements/expiry.php
lib/pieforms/pieform/rules

that need to be translated.
