is there any other way way of importing .po file instead of using the admin control panel.
i have tried several times to import other languages but my sever keeps timing out and I am receiving a lot of error 500.
Server error! The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.
Error message: Premature end of script headers: index.php
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Hi Larry It happens a lot of time when ISP don't allow to modify PHP config, for example, if you don't increase the memory limit (generally 8M), you can have trouble to do this operation.
I would recommend you to import the .po files on a local server in order to be able to change parameters if needed. Then once you get it, just export the 3 tables begining by locale_* and import them at your ISP website.
It should work fine.
Regards
Nicolas
Thanks Nicolas,
I didn't quite understand your import and export bit. " Then once you get it, just export the 3 tables begining by locale_* and
import them at your ISP website."
i already have the .po files sitting on my desktop. Trouble is when i try to import hen i get a time out.Sometimes a bit of the strings are imported .

The problem is that the import and parsing of the po files is quite ressource intensive. It needs a lot of memory and time. What you can do is to get a cvs checkout and upload the smalle files that are in that checkout one by one.

Sorry if it wasn't so clear ;)

So where did you try to import them ? - Is it a server you have all rights on it ? If so, try to change the memory limit for PHP. You can for example add this line in setting.php (under drupal directory) ini_set("memory_limit","16M"); (or more Mo) And then try again, it should work
- If it's a web host server and you can't change parameters (sometimes, they disable ini_set function in PHP so you can put them in scripts but they won't have any warning and it won't work), here is the way to do this : Make sure you can have full access to a developpment config (Apache+PHP+MySQL), I use easyphp.org on windows, it's a one click install for all these tools and also add phpMyAdmin which is great for managing Mysql DB. So, once you get it, be sure to increase the memory, install Drupal and follow these steps. - make the import of the .po files in your local server. - go to phpMyAdmin (or make it trough command line, but it's a little more complicated) and select the DB of Drupal. - go to export tab - select the 3 tables : locales_meta, locales_source and locales_target - choose only the option datas and save as a file - press Go - it should download you a SQL file with the datas of these tables. * if you don't have phpMyAdmin, try a way to export these 3 tables to a sql file
Then, you have to make this import to the server of your ISP. If he has phpMyAdmin, it's quite easy: - open the DB where your drupal site is - go to SQL (or import file) tab - import your file or paste the queries form the SQL file *if it doesn't manage phpMyadmin, there should have another way to access your DB, ask your ISP.
Hop it was clearer, good luck

Hi Nikolas i tried " ini_set("memory_limit","16M");" and it didn't work My site is on a shared-server, but I have access to the shell I am importing the .po file into the site from admin-localisation.
I have access to phpmyadmin. O am trying to import the Danish language
Are you suggesting I should just copy 3 tables : locales_meta, locales_source and locales_target and paste them in the query window of my DB for drupal?
I still trying understand your export bit as I am trying to install additional language so don't need to export the .po file from my installation

If you have shell access can't you ask the admin to increase the memory_limit of php (like 32M to be sure ;) ) ?

I suggest you to make an import on a server where you are sure it works (that's why I told you to use easyphp on your own machine), and then export the tables...
I still trying understand your export bit as I am trying to install additional language so don't need to export the .po file from my installation
The export is to get the datas of your databases tables... Nothing to see with .po files. Importing the .po files will requires more ressources from your server than importing an SQL file, that's why I describe my solution. Read again my previous post, I don't know how can I be clearer :(
Good luck
