Translations

Hello

Im pretty new with Drupal and internationalization. I recently installed and set up both on a functioning site with a gmap on some of the pages. After creating a translation for one of the pages with the gmap the translated version doesn't have the map but the original version still does. I am completely stumped how to fix it.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,

I had an old 6.11 site with french translation (not complete) imported. So I updated it to 6.22, then updated all my modules, upgraded core to 7.10 and updated modules to latest 7.x. Then updated french language by importing it again, it worked fine, but when I switched to english, then switched again to french it crashed.
I tried to delete french language in 6.11, then upgrading, and finally importing new language, but again the same crash. Im getting a white screen in IE and a redirection error in firefox

I cant output any error, I only have server logs :

Hello....

I am using Norwegian language at my Drupal 7 site. I have installed the Advanced Forum and my question is: Where can i change the text on the New Topic button ? Now its split in to with New Emne on the button text.....

I want it to say: Nytt emne (This is norwegian). I have looked in the tranelations and search but i cant find it... Is the a file i have to edit manualy or ?????

I am seeing something odd, maybe someone can explain to me what's happening.

How can I allow users to set their language upon registration? I know that by using the language switcher block, they can change the language of the site, but I would like to have a button on the form that clearly allows the user to select their language.

I found the thread below, but the code offered is for Drupal 6, and I don't know how to update it to Drupal 7:

Does anyone know of a way to do this in Drupal 7?
