Hi All,

I've just upgraded a site from DNN 3.3.7 to 5.2. and upgraded DSTabLocalizator to 3.0.5.  I'm occationally getting an error (see below) when switching between English, Japanese and Chinese.  I have not been able to find a pattern yet to what triggers the error, but, I can reproduce it almost at will.  

Any ideas on what I should look for?

Thanks!

Greg

Dear Groggu

Can you please send me the language pack you are using to locopon at tiendaboliviana dot com???

I will test the new version against this.

Do I read this right? You are in fact speaking about changing the language within the DSLocalizator administration module? I had noticed something strange about that, but I personally never feel the need to switch languages within the DSLocalizator module. I use the locale dropdown within the different administration controls to change languages during localization, but I keep the static text in the language I speak/read best.

But of course, this should work correctly in the stable version.

So, I did some tests with DNN 5.6.1 and DSL 3.0.5. I use en-US and km-KH as locales. I did some strange observations:

My DSL module is situated at this URL: http://mysite.edu.kh/Admin/Localizator/tabid/242/language/en-US/Default.aspx

Switching language takes me to http://mysite.edu.kh/Admin/Localizator/tabid/242/language/km-KH/Default.aspx and all is fine. I see the DSL administration module  in Khmer as expected.

Going to Portal localization at http://mysite.edu.kh/Admin/Localizator/tabid/242/ctl/PortalSettingsLocalization/mid/700/language/en-US/Default.aspx

Switching languages brings me to the following URL: http://mysite.edu.kh/Admin/Localizator/tabid/242/ctl/PortalSettingsLocalization/ctl/PortalSettingsLocalization/mid/700/language/km-KH/Default.aspx?SkinSrc=[L]Skins/New Skin/index wide&ContainerSrc=[L]Containers/New Skin/ContentPane for white bg
The content panel is now completely empty.

Going to Tab localizations at http://mysite.edu.kh/Admin/Localizator/tabid/242/ctl/TabLocalization/mid/700/language/en-US/Default.aspx

Shifting languages takes me to http://mysite.edu.kh/Admin/Localizator/tabid/242/ctl/TabLocalization/ctl/TabLocalization/mid/700/language/km-KH/Default.aspx?SkinSrc=[L]Skins/New Skin/index wide&ContainerSrc=[L]Containers/New Skin/ContentPane for white bg
ContentPane is now empty

Now for module Localization at http://mysite.edu.kh/Admin/Localizator/tabid/242/ctl/ModuleLocalization/mid/700/language/en-US/Default.aspx

Changing languages takes me to http://mysite.edu.kh/Admin/Localizator/tabid/242/ctl/ModuleLocalization/ctl/ModuleLocalization/mid/700/language/km-KH/Default.aspx?SkinSrc=[L]Skins/New Skin/index wide&ContainerSrc=[L]Containers/New Skin/ContentPane for white bg
Again empty ContentPane.

My skins use DSLocaleSelector for language selection

I will research this further.
