[Forum] languages MySQL table content modification breaks buttons/menu items translation

[postcd]

Hello,

I have tried to search files for a phrase that appears in a window when you submit new topic without title:
You must enter a title / subject

Not found in files, but found in "language" mysql table, where i carefully replace two occurrences of mentione dphrase by my version containing diacritics and submit, it removed text from buttons on new thread page (kind of corruption).
So i have restored mysql backup.
It fixed it.

Then i have tried to export valid MySQL table "language" as a .sql file, duplicated the file to have copy, replaced the phrase in the copy .sql file using editor Kate. Import the copy to mysql and it was damaged again. Ok, now i have deleted the copy file and make new copy where i have replaced using Linux sed, same result.

Please any idea how to translate some phrases in that "language" table? Tried in vb 4.20 and this is "language" table structure.

You shouldn't edit phrases in the database directly. You shouldn't edit anything in the database directly. Doing so can render your entire site inoperable.

Phrases should only be edited within the AdminCP under the Phrase Manager. Find the Phrase, click "Edit" and put your translation within the box for your language. Save it. To delete an edited phrase, delete the contents of the translation box and save.
