Hi everyone, or someone,
I am using sugarcrm, and have installed the spanish language pack as we need to be running in two countries.
Everything regarding the installation of sugar and the language pack has gone perfectly smooth.

Now here is the conundrum.....

I wanted to add my own "status" to accounts, but even though I could add the drop down to the system, and also could add it to the "view", I seemed to be lacking the skills to add it to the edit view.

So what I did instead was the following....
The original list of "statusīs" I modified in the admin->studio->edit drop downs->edit drop downs->accounts->account_type_dom
I deleted the origilan ones, and added 7 of my own.
So the file E:\ermtrack_es\crm\custom\include\language\en_us.l ang.php
now has the section...
$app_list_strings['account_type_dom']=array (
'New' => 'New',
'Site and Contact Info' => 'Site and Contact Info',
'Primary Contacting in Progess' => 'Primary Contacting in Progess',
'Meeting Planned' => 'Meeting Planned',
'On-Hold for later action' => 'On-Hold for later action',
'Dead' => 'Dead',
'Active Customer' => 'Active Customer',
);

All the above is working fine...... The trouble arises ffrom the Spanish...
I have modified the spanish file E:\ermtrack_es\crm\custom\include\language\en_es.l ang.php
so that it has .....
);
$app_list_strings['account_type_dom']=array (
'New' => 'New(spain)',
'Site and Contact Info' => 'Site and Contact Info',
'Primary Contacting in Progess' => 'Primary Contacting in Progess',
'Meeting Planned' => 'Meeting Planned',
'On-Hold for later action' => 'On-Hold for later action',
'Dead' => 'Dead',
'Active Customer' => 'Active Customer',
);

Which is the same as the englsih one ..... BUT
When I log in as an english user, I get the correct list, but when I log in as a spanish user, it seems to APPEND the spanish ones to the pre-existing ensglish ones.

I have been beating my brain with this problem for 3 days, and havenīt been able to find a solution.

The only other files that seem to contain the original account status vaues are
E:\ermtrack_es\crm\cache\jsLanguage\en_us.js
and
E:\ermtrack_es\crm\cache\jsLanguage\en_us.js

Though these files are somewhat cryptic for a "boon" like me, I did try to add a simple new entry in each, but it didnīt seem to make any difference.

Another issue is odd issue, (call this a seconadry issue), is that if I an on the UK version and do a search for the account status 'Site and Contact Info', I get the right results, but when I do the same in the spanish version, it returns no results. I call this a secondary problem as I asume it is a roll over from the initial issue.

For me there is no doubt that I have done something wrong, and if I was back at sqaure one, would probably just translate the original "text" values of the status to what I wanted, and never have deleted them. The trouble is now that the UK ones "are" gone.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
