OK

generic.php file

FORUM_LIST field

I changed it to Japanese text but on the test page when I refresh it all, the English remains.
It even shows as Japanese in the php file when I downloaded it to check

$ubbt_lang['FORUM_LIST'] = 'リスト';

(I realise the Japanese doesn't display properly on here, but it does on my Japanese machine).

(I have tried changing the encoding field to both shift_jis and utf-8 but it doesn't seem to make any difference).

I can perhaps understand why the Japanese text might not appear correctly, but I cannot understand why the English is remaining! The English is gone, so why is English still showing online?

Any ideas anyone? Thanks

Do you try to clean out your local and the forum cache? It should change anyway.
