English again!

Published by Taliesin at 11:01 am under Random Topics

It appears that the work of Can Erten has paid off.

The blog software I use supports localization (changing the language depending on one simple setting.)  But the theme that the blogger uses must also support localization.  The guy who wrote my theme is German, but he created an English localization file.  However, a select group of people, for reasons unknown, are not able to use the localization for this theme, and the writer of the theme has no idea why.

However, a guy named Can Erten wrote a script that changes some settings to make the localization work just fine.  I tried his script yesterday, and it totally broke my blog.  I wrote to him, and he fixed “a small bug”, and now it works!  WOOT!

Blog is readable now.  :)

    yes, Can has done a really good job with his script, and I’m so glad that this fixes this silly “localization won’t work on my blog” issue for the pity users who had this problem until Can came along with his solution, you can’t imagine how glad I am about that ;)

    It was very funny for me to read your previous post, btw, especially that rant about Rammstein freaking out ;) I wasn’t aware that Rammstein is so well known across the world ;)

    Welcome to my blog, Count Zero. For those who don’t know, CountZero created the excellent theme that I use for my Rants and Such… area here at thedow.org. Nice job, sir.

    As for Rammstein, they actually were a big hit here for awhile after they were in the movie, XXX starring Vin Diesel. I had heard of them shortly before their movie comes out. I don’t know much of what they’re saying, but their music is extremely interesting. :)

    I couldn’t decide whether to go with Richard Wagner or Rammstein. I am pleased with my choice now. :)

    ah, I see… xXx was a pretty nice action movie, I liked it. That scene you are referring to with Rammstein, that was the one in the russian discotehque, where Vin meets the russian gangsters, right?

    suppose your choice to compare the options page with Rammstein suited much better than a comparison with Wagner ;)

    You might wonder how I found your blog - Technorati thankfully scans the blogs’ footer as well, and thanks to the credits backlink that’s part of it I receive updates each time an additional blog tries out BB, and I’m always interested in the ppl who are trying it out ;)
