Are you positive that you uploaded the app/content/languages folder?

 

[tinypic]

i see all languages , and i got it ready with arvixe hosting. i see the languages in dashboard i select them save and nothing still in English

 

[Rodolfo]

Which is the website URL and which language you want to use?

Ok... A few misunderstandings here.

1. I'm able to switch languages so the thing is working.
2. When you set a language in the admin dashboard that is the default language to be used but users can choose.
3. Most likely you don't see changes because as an user, your language preference is not affected by the default admin preference. User preference != Admin preference.
4. Greek language is not complete as you can check here: https://chevereto.oneskyapp.com is only 77% complete.

Basically there isn't support issue here. You are just confused.

i did up to 77% of translation so i know that, and i am going to complete it nevermind i didnt knew this about user activation but inside language is also for admin's dashboard so how stays in english??? AND THATS WHY I TOLD YOU I TRIED EVEN COMPLETED LANGUAGES LIKE RUSSIAN,ITALIAN,FRENCH any of them are no changing, so to change dashboard what must be done?

 

[Rodolfo]

Again... Admin is also an user, who has a language preference just like any user. This prefence overrides the system default preference. So it doesn't matter if the system language is German, Spanish, or anything because the system will keep using what the user chooses.

and how will i make default language for all users ??? cause the way it is the option noone will change it

 

[Rodolfo]

You can run a mysql query and change all current users preference. By default the system comes with auto-language detector so if you disable that the thing will be shown in the default language that you choose in the dashboard.

But remember, users can always choose.
