<div><br></div><div>With string overrides, the problem is that there may be markup, or even replacement tokens inside the t() function. For the replacement to work, you need get the whole contents of the existing text in the t(), which often means finding it in the code.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In this case, what is in the t() function is:</div><div><br></div><div><meta charset="utf-8"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium; "><pre>Read more<span class="element-invisible"</pre>

<div></div><div class="h5"><br>@Shai,<br><br>I haven't tested all possibilities having the Locale module enabled, however my current setting at the time of string override failure was:<br><br>- Locale module enabled<br>
- Added an additional language (Spanish)<br>- Set my language defaut for Locale module to be Spanish, and second language English<br>- Enabled multilingual support for all content types<br><br>When disabling locale module, the content of all nodes had dissapeared leaving only the title. I was able to get content back by disabling multilingual support in each content type. However two of
my content types would still display Spanish as default language when creating content for those content types.<br><br>Luckily I had done a backup using Backup and migrate, which it took all my content and content types to its last good configuration.<br>
<br>I hope this helps,<br><br>Christian<br><br>

<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks for your persistence and for reporting back. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I'm thinking of writing a docs page on this. I don't use the Locale module.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Can you just be a little more specific about what happened, how it all works. I'm guessing that if Locale module is turned on then all string overrides get handled by it and other mechanisms are ignored? Is that right?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Please share your insights.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>best,</div>
