Can you tell us what you entered into the text box on that profile option page?

No text with apostrhophes! I just entered the greek translations. I renamed every tab in it's english name but the problem persists.

 

Edit: With the mobile version of the site, it works normally. It happens only with the Desktop version with every theme I tried.

Did you try resetting the tabs and menus AFTER you edited them back to english?

And please clear your browser cache as well before retesting

I edit them back to english and when i hit the reset button it returns them back to greek confused

The few tabs I hadn't translate at all at first place, seem to work normally.

 

I 've cleared the browser's cache.

It can not do that. Unless you did not click the Update button at the bottom of the panel. Is that the problem?

I did!

If I don't hit the update button, I can not see the english translations.

I reenter the translations, I hit the button to see them and then I click the housekeeping reset and it returns back to the greek ones.

I can give you access to see!

sorry, why are you doing the housekeeping reset profile tabs and menus???  yes, that will reset string on forum - profile - profile options back to English...

I guess we could actually put that single string into the front end (or back) translations...  but either way, resetting the tabs and profiles will also reset that string...

you should only have to hit reset profile and tabs once... and that is only if you have moved your hosting or domain...  no real use case for using that button multiple times...

Mr Papa said  sorry, why are you doing the housekeeping reset profile tabs and menus???

But what should I do? I'm getting the message:

Profile form could not be found: [Account Settings]
You might try the forum - toolbox - housekeeping admin form and reset the profile tabs and menus and see if that helps

yes, that will reset string on forum - profile - profile options back to English...

For me it resets them back to greek.

I still do not see how on earth it can be possible to revert to a language that it was not created in in the first place. I think we are back at the start with the request to know what you entered into the tabs and menu boxes so we can see the text. Then we can try it on a test site.
