Language Key

Hi all, I am using English and French on my site, I also have predefined values, no matter what I write in the LKey and LKey2 its always LKey that is used on both languages....any idea why ???

From my understanding - the language will be automatically determined depending on where you are located. So, you have 2 languages, French and English - if you go to France, then the French language should kick in for your site. If in English speaking country, then English will kick in. That is the only thing I can think of.

 I actually have the option to choose from english to french....the platform changes language, but not the  pre defined values

Are you posting an actual language key in the LKey field, or raw text? It needs to be a language key for Dolphin to display it in the right language.

 is this what you mean ? File attached

You need to specify a language key in the LKey field, or Dolphin will show the text as-is. LKey2 and 3 are alternative text used in some cases - the LKey stands for language key. So create a key under Admin Panel > Settings > Languages Settings and set the key (e.g., _customKey) as the value for LKey.

 Sorry I am not sure I understand what you mean here ...

To have the text show in different languages, you need to use a language key. Add a key from Admin Panel > Settings > Languages Settings and click on Add Key. Enter a key name (e.g., "_myNewKey") and the text for each language, then save. Then edit the predefined value and for LKey, enter the language key and save.

 I did all that but I still can't edit the existing keys...sorry that I dont understand...this is after adding a key (screenshot)

To edit a key after it's created, search for the name in the search box under Languages Settings, then click the edit link next to the result. To use the key, edit the predefined value and for LKey, enter the language key name and save. There's no values for LKey2 and 3.

 Do I need to recompile language ?

No, after you save the changes, they should be live.

I must really be a dumb ass because it is not working for me grrrrrrrr... 

If you don't mind sending me your admin login, I can take a closer look.
