Finally I found an answer to my own question: There is a configuration in Messages.properties, which points to the news-files. An in the Messages_de.properties from the German language pack they are pointing to the English files...
It would be nice if the docs made a statement about Messages.properties that there are not only "messages" in, but path settings too.

We have a DSpace 1.5 (jspui) installation with English and German GUI. There are two possibilities to configure the "News": 1. the news-side*.html and news-top*.html in the config directory, and 2. the administration area of the GUI. > > Now my case: I edited the German text from the GUI. Then I switched to the English GUI to set up the translation. The fields were already filled with the German texts (!). And after changing them, the German texts in the German GUI are gone. Looking in the config directory I saw that only the files news-side.html and news-top.html were affected and news-side_de.html and news-top_de.html were still old (= the original versions from the language pack). > > This means: Even when I edit the "News" from the German GUI, the English > files are written (and displayed)! > > Does anyone have an idea how to debug this? > > Greetings > > Robert > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ DSpace-tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech
