    Hello,

    I have EE 1.6.7 running with MSM. I downloaded the French language file (1.6.6). I added the individual English lang. file when translation was missing.

    In English all works fine but when switching to French the control panel seems to change OK but clicking on a weblog to Publish, or clicking on a weblog to Edit returns a blank page.

    Do you know what could cause this?

    There have been a number of issues reported with the French language pack. These packs are not provided by EllisLab, we only host them as a service to the community. You might want to contact the author directly.

    Hi Ingmar,

    Is there an easy way to downgrade to 1.6.6? My client is not very pleased to have to use the CP in english right now… I wrote to the author, but He did it pro-bono, can’t expect an update from him.

    Older versions of ExpressionEngine are not currently available.

    What you might do is get PHP errors on so you can find out exactly what is causing the blank screen; then it should be pretty easy to update the language pack.  Did you need assistance with getting errors turned on?

    Ok, I’ll try that and come back to this thread with the exact errors.

    make sure your debug preference is set to one at:  CP Home ›  Admin ›  System Preferences ›  Output and Debugging Preferences

    Also look at this KB Entry and make sure you have error_reporting set to E_ALL in your main index.php file.

    Hello,

    I tried it all, and still get that blank page. However, there is a guy in this thread who says he corrected the bugs and sent them to you.

    I am afraid that’s only a partial translation.

    A quick search on the forums for “1.6.7 french” shows that everybody got this problem. I’d be willing to translate the faulty files if you tell me how…

    I believe the author is currently working on a new version. You might want to contact him personally, too. That said, this is not an “installation” issue that we can offer tech support for. Let me move this over to “General”.
