Total Required Space always 0 when using translations

Post by casic »

Hi there,

The displayed Total Required Space is always 0 if I use components and translations (German in my case). If I use no components all works fine. If I use components and select English at the language selection, also everything works fine. The installation of selected components works perfect, so I think this is no translation issue - or I'm wrong?

Thank you,

Markus

Some additional information:

The problem only exist if the name of a component is translated. If the name is not translated, the Total Required Space displays the correct value.

Hi there,

I tried to use German component names now (so there is no translation necessary), but unfortunately I found the next problem: If the name of a component contains German special characters (e.g. ä ü ö ...), the required space of this component will not be taken into account. If the name of a parent component contains a German special character, all sub-components also will not be taken into account. In my case, I have named a component "Rechtschreibprüfung". If I use "Rechtschreibpruefung" instead of "Rechtschreibprüfung", all works as expected.

Hope this helps to solve this issue,

Thank you,

Markus
