HEllo !

I've a problem using the multi-lingual plugin with 1.0

Every time I try to make an entry in English and French it duplicates my entries and I go two entries in the Blog instead of one for each languages.

Any Idea ??

What exactly do you click on in which order?

And does your browser have javascript activated?

Yes in fact it seems I've a problem with the plugin itself.
I need to download it again to be sure I'm not part of the problem.
But at this moment it seems there's a problem to download it ..

You can manually fetch the file from here:

Ok doesn't work..
First I write an entry in the default language (I've no choices and no menu when I write the first entry)
Ok, it works.

Then I select French in the language menu.
Then I write my text in French and save it. Seems to be ok ..

But ..

When I logout and watch the log and change the language in the menu it always showned the English version ..

??

In fact it duplicates my entries when I do that ..

One in English and one in French..

You should do this, in exactly this order:

1. Click on "New Entry"
2. Enter the title of your entry.
3. Enter an english text of your entry.
4. Click on "Save"
5. Now you'll see the message that your entry has been saved.
6. Down the same page, look at the dropdown of the languages. Change that dropdown to, say "French". Click on the button right next to it "Select language"
7. Your page will refresh. Now change the body text to read something in french. Then click on "Save entry".

This should work. If it doesn't work, try this:

1. Click on "New Entry"
2. Enter the title of your entry.
3. Enter an english text of your entry.
4. Click on "Save"
5. Change the body text
6. Click on "Save"

Now check if you have also got two duplicate entries in your blog. If you do, your javascript in the browser is failing.

Then you will need to click on "Edit Entries" after you saved an entry, and then make the changes to an entry. So you cannot continue immediately after you've created a new entry, and first need to click on "Edit Entries" to creat eother language versions of your entry. Or, of course, you can try to use a different browser with JavaScript enabled?

It doesn't work and the new 'language' is never saved.

I've not changed my brower since I upgrade serendipity from 0.9 to 1.0b and I've tried on different browsers.

I can PM you my blog access if you want to check iy ?

Yes, please send me the access via PM, I'll have a try.
