Question language pack does not work

Dear all,

I tried to place the chinese translated language file - kunena.simplified_chinese.php in the language folder: administrator/components/com_kunena/language/

...the frontend and the backend did not display in chinese but english. However, when I tried to copy everything from kunena.simplified_chinese.php and pasted it to kunena.english. Surprisingly it worked and I wonder what's wrong and how to solve this? Thanks.

Your language in Joomla is set default English. Change it to chinese. Exentions-language manager - website set to Chinese. And It will work.

But I did that earlier on, it didn't work. I have no choice but to try the above mentioned steps suggested by some to make the language to display. Of course, I can work around by doing so as long as it works for me. But just wondering what's the reason that causing it. Strange.. :huh:

Hi Guy,

There is same issues to my site,
My site is based on Joomla 1.5.12 and Joom!fish V2.0.3 and Kunena 1.5.3 with English & Chinese pack

So far, the chinese pack is not available, whatever we select each language (English Or Chinese) the language is default in english, and there is kunena.simplified_chinese.php in my server's administrator\components\com_kunena\language

Could you let me know how to fix up this issue, It is expected that, Kunena could change language follow front & back language setting

Thanks

Daniel
