• Clear the Cache
• Reload site

If reloading takes more than 30 seconds, chances are that you have not enabled the mbstring extension in PHP. When this is enabled, translation cache regeneration should not take much more than 6-8 seconds.

If you don't have the PHP mbstring extension, then reloading may time out. The quickest way to fix this to give Exponential more RAM and/or execution time. (The best fix is to enable mbstring.) See php.ini. I use 32MB and 300 sec on a AMD 800. The german language file is actually the largest of them all. It is hard to KISS in german ;-).

edit php.ini (Linux: /etc/php.ini Windows: C:windowsphp.ini)

max_execution_time = 300    ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds

max_input_time = 180   ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data

memory_limit = 32M     ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)

If you still notice untranslated phrases it might be that the information either comes out of the database or that this information is hardcoded. Otherwise try to clear und rebuild the cache.
