Chinese

Can anybody tell me how to add the chinese lang to my website. I am not sure if I have to buy or I can do it for free.

Any help would be good

I have just bought the lang pack for chinese but I am a little thick and do not understand how to install it into my website. It is asking for sql of which I know a little.

Can anybody help me to do this. I need a thick mans guide.

Thanks Carl.  

they normally come with instructions...... if not you can send it to me, I can help you to take a look at it. my email is kenw@tjskids.com

Do this for the sql:

1.  set your browser to go to http://yoursite.com/cpanel

2.  Log in using your cPanel login & password

3.  Look for SQL Databases or phpMyAdmin (preferably phpMyAdmin, but if you don't have it on your cPanel you'll have to click SQL Databases and then phpMyAdmin which will be at the bottom)

4.  When the new page loads for phpMyAdmin, look to the left and you will see your database listed, click on it, the page will load again with a long column of database entries on the left and tabs across the main page. 

5.  Now, click on the "Import" tab in the main page area.

6.  Click Browse, this will open up your files on your own computer and navigate to the language file and click on the SQL File for it to load.

7.  Lower right hand corner you will see a button labeled "Go"

8.  Click that button, wait for the page to reload and it should say so many queries successfuly run and your done, if it gives an error in red writing then report back here with it.

Did you see where that link goes? Sorry, couldn't resist. Some one is bound to try it you know.

I never knew that would be an actual link to someplace besides a cPanel login Dean... Nice catch on that... LOL  

Should I leave it there?  ROFLMAO!!

Well, a porn site would be better.

Hello mydatery

I have done as you said and yes I got the red box with the following.

SQL query:

 INSERT INTO `LocalizationLanguages` ( `Name` , `Flag` , `Title` )
VALUES (

)

Have you got any clues.

Thanks Carl

Carl, there is more to that error than you posted.  Is it calling duplicate saying they already exist?  If that is the issue you will need to change the types and such.  One of the sql gurus in here should be jumping to answer this for you. 

i can help if i see the SQL error. I'm good with SQL (at least I hope). mail me the file and i'll let you know if there are any issues with the file. aashburn06@yahoo.com

As I told you before, I'm not an SQL guru, however, in the interest of seeing how your doing this and comparing, I purchased a German, Spanish, French Language pack and attempted to upload it.  Mine went successful and only has the issue of making the Language actual change on the final site, but it did upload and it is accessible via the Admin Panel.  Here is how mine is appears:

***Please note:  This is not a full language file, it is only part of one to help demonstrate what the SQL should look like, it is not a chines language file and must be adjusted as such for the Chinese Language but it should help out with showing what the file should look like, I will post the first 10 Lines.

INSERT INTO `LocalizationLanguages` VALUES(2, 'de', 'de', 'German');
INSERT INTO `LocalizationLanguages` VALUES(3, 'es', 'es', 'Espana');
INSERT INTO `LocalizationLanguages` VALUES(4, 'fr', 'fr', 'French');

INSERT INTO `LocalizationStrings` VALUES ('1', '2', '');
INSERT INTO `LocalizationStrings` VALUES ('2', '2', 'Copyright © {0} domain.de');
INSERT INTO `LocalizationStrings` VALUES ('3', '2', 'Möchtest du Nachrichten zu <br> News und Tipps erhalten?');
INSERT INTO `LocalizationStrings` VALUES ('4', '2', '<p><b>Hallo <YourRealName></b>,</p><p>Du hast eine Nachricht von <a href="<Domain?>profile.php?ID=<ID>"><NickName>(<Domain>profile.php?ID=<ID>)</a>!</p><p>Um diese Nachricht lesen zu können, musst du deine E-Mail prüfen!!!</p><p>---</p>Respekt an,  <SiteName>');
INSERT INTO `LocalizationStrings` VALUES ('5', '2', 'Gästebuch');
INSERT INTO `LocalizationStrings` VALUES ('32', '2', 'Heute noch Anmelden!');

I hope this helps you see how it's done and what your file should look like, keep in mind the values will differ as each key (word) has a seperate value and that is what makes these things so much fun to do it seems.
