I ran the update from 1.6 to 1.7.1 and I was happy to see the process itself was very quick and easy.
However I faced a problem with the language files. I had created a lang-finnish.php for my pixelpost 1.6 installation. The file didn't work with 1.7.1 so I figured that I have to make another file based on the lang-english.php that comes with the new installation package.
So I duplicated lang-english.php, renamed it lang-finnish.php and translated the neccessary words. Then uploaded to my server and selected "finnish" at the admin panel "Base language setting". After this when I'm looking at my photoblog I get this error:
"Error:
Pixelpost has problem selecting a default language.
Make sure that you have chosen a default language in the adminpanel."
Even my admin panel goes blank, it just shows white screen when I hit refresh on my browser. The only way to get things back on track is to make another copy of lang-english.php, rename it lang-finnish.php (and overwrite the translated file on the server). That way I can see my admin panel again (but the photoblog still shows error) and my only choice is to set the default english file back into use.
So the problem is that when I edit the language files it just crashes my photoblog. I tried to edit them with notepad, wordpad and even CPanel editor.
Well, the reason it is not documented is because in 1.8 this will be fixed.
Make sure that you save it in UTF-8 without BOM and using Unix-style Linebreaks.
Best thing is you upload the original language files from the Pixelpost Download Package again to get rid of the errors first.
Then open the lang-english.php and save it as lang-finnish.php without any further changes. If the errors return you know that your text editor does something wrong with your files and you should better use another
I had one ";" missing from the translated PHP file. Fixing it stopped the crashing of the admin panel, but didn't help with the error message. Same thing with opening lang-english.php and saving it as lang-finnish.php. I even tried another editor, conTEXT but it still won't work. Which editor are you using for this?
Here are the contents of my translated file. Please, could someone try to create a working language file from this?

The language has to be added to the array of supported languages. Otherwise it won't work. This array is located in the index.php for version 1.71
Okay, that fixed it in a minute. I didn't see this mentioned in any documentation, but perhaps I wasn't reading as carefully as required.
Thanks for helping. It would have been impossible for me to solve this without help.
Sounds great. :D
