I think there is a bug in the pagination script. Our website uses a different localization, not the standard English language pages. Even though the entires for the “First” and “Last” names exist in the locatlization, they still show up in Engligh on the website.

I tried to look around in the php code, but I don’t understand how the paginations are created. I am suspecting that for some reason these two links do not get the localization text, or get overwritten somewhere.

This happens in both the weblog and the forums.

Could you try something for me?  Open up the /system/core/core.paginate.php file and at the top you will see these two variables set:

Could you change them to have no values:

And see if that helps?  I think by having those defaults the localization is not occurring correctly.

Then I get the following error message, and the forums break:

One more tweak.  At the top of the function show_links() part of the script is this:

Please make it this:

One more tweak.  At the top of the function show_links() part of the script is this:

global $IN, $FNS;

Please make it this:

global $IN, $FNS, $LANG;

Very nice, the combination of the two made the trick. But both were needed. Thank you… I can stop dodging these emails now.

I will contact the writer of that script (it’s not me, so guess who!) and inform him of that little pair of tweaks.

Thank you Paul for your help.
