When we switch to any language we see %20 signs in the URL and then when we click on another language we get a 404 page... we get that with each language

Hi, What is your domain name? % means that the text is in the translation queue and you will see the translated version soon. You just need to wait and everything will be translated.

As the translations are done on demand it will start translating from the most popular content. You just need to wait and your site will be translated and cached. It depending on your traffic.

OK, but the Spanisch pages has more then 100 visits since yesterday already... and on the pages where I have no 20% sign I get the same thing, each time when I change a language I go to a 404 page

site is back online but I think I just fix the problem... we did remove the gtranslate mod and also all other related things like the "<meta name="uri-translation" content="on"/>" in the <head> section, without that line it is working but now the URL is not translated

Hi, Since you are using the URL translation feature your URLs are translated and in the translation there are spaces. %20 is a space which is encoded in the URLs to comply with the standards. You can manually edit the URLs and may be replace %20 with "-". Hope that makes sense. Thank you!

OK but we have more then 900 URLs to replace then... is there no other option?

If you confirm that you want to replace space (%20) with "-" in all of your URLs, we can do that on our side.

BTW this is out test domain so when we put all of this on our main actual site I guess we only have to renew our license right and all will work again?

Hi, We will sort that issue as well using the access you gave us, it is a matter of the module misconfiguration. Thank you!

Hi Edvard... the %20 is back again, I switch to a new theme and now it is back... did you also make some changes to the theme files?

Hi, We have not changed anything on your side about this. This will happen in future when you will add/modify URLs on your site. After that they will be translated automatically and may contain spaces after translation which will need to be corrected by you. However you shouldn't be worried about the spaces (%20). Most browsers show them as spaces and %20 is not visible at all. We have just made another bulk replace for you. Thank you!

Ok, so I have to edit the URL for each language? I did edit the URL for ES but for German and all other languages it still has the %20 in the URL (Chili-Basis%20soziale) and that is in Firefox, Google chrome and IE Also when I'm on (Chili-Basis%20soziale) or this URL (chili-base-social) (with no 20%) and I click on Dutch language it brings me to a 404 page again And in IE I don't see the flags... so still some errors Edvard :(

Hi, Yes, you will need to edit the URL on every language to make it look as you wish. To fix the 404 error, we have modified /modules/mod_gtranslate/tmpl/default.php file, may be you have done something with that file and our modifications are now gone? To fix the issue in IE you need to modify the mentioned file and replace: a.flag img {border:0;} with a.flag img {border:0;width:32px;} Let me know. Thank you!
