Hello,
I got the German Version of Wordpress 2.3.1 and WP-Email 2.2
Also copyed the German Translation Files from This Page
http://dev.wp-plugins.org/browser/wp-email/i18n/
into the WP-Email folder on the Webserver.
The Language Files do not seme to work. It's still all in English.

When I try to send a Mail I get the
"An error has occurred when trying to send this email:
» Language string failed to load: instantiate"
Error

What can I do to fix the Problems?

Did you setup everything correctly eg email server?

German version? You need to download the German translation of WP and WordPress itself. http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress_in_Your_Language

The language error is because your mail is not set correctly, try using php, smtp or sendmail in wp-admin -> email -> email options

You mean the Fields above
"You may leave the above fields blank if you do not use a SMTP server."

I left them blank... Did not work

I filled out my SMTP Server settings... Did not work too.

It is under Mail Sending Type, nothing to do with the SMTP settings

ah right
I set it to "send mail" and it works now
Thank You GaMerZ

Still it's all in English.
I downloaded the "wp-email-de_DE.mo" and "wp-email-de_DE.po"
Where do I have to put these language files?
I put them in the "wp-content\plugins\email" folder - didn't work
so I put it in the "wp-content\plugins\translations" - didn't work

GaMerZ · « **Reply #6 on:** 26 December 2007, 20:00 »

It should be placed in "wp-content\plugins\email"

If it does not works means it is your wordpress is not translated properly.

Under wp-content\languages, did u see any files or folders?

kugelblitz · « **Reply #7 on:** 27 December 2007, 16:34 »

Ah I see
That folder "wp-content\languages" does not exist in my Wordpress Version.
That could explain why it does not work.

GaMerZ · « **Reply #8 on:** 27 December 2007, 19:23 »

yeap because I suspect your WordPress is not really translated based on mo/po and hence it will not work for u.

Ttech · « **Reply #9 on:** 30 December 2007, 04:56 »

I never understood this translation stuff.

I'm getting this same error on WP 2.3.2 and I'm using English. I'm using SMTP and it used to work, but it stopped working sometime late last year. Any ideas?

GaMerZ · « **Reply #11 on:** 06 February 2008, 08:07 »

The error is the default error message used in phpmailer. Try changing it to PHP or sendmail

David Potter · « **Reply #12 on:** 06 February 2008, 18:01 »

Unfortunately I can only use SMTP mail since I'm hosting on IIS. This is really a shame

GaMerZ · « **Reply #13 on:** 07 February 2008, 01:14 »

But if it stopped working perhaps your admin has did some modification or block the access to SMTP by scripts?

David Potter · « **Reply #14 on:** 07 February 2008, 02:15 »

Unfortunately I am the admin

. I'll look deeper on my server. Thanks.

let me know if you found anything =D

I also had the same error but I decided to edit the plugin's core files. You can find my solution to this error in this article.

GaMerZ · « **Reply #18 on:** 31 March 2008, 01:34 »

You can always make use of PHP to send email. WP-Admin -> Email -> Email Options -> "Method Used To Send E-Mail:"

The reason why PHPMailer throw you this error is because it has problem instantiating a channel (Sendmail, PHP or SMTP) to send the email.

The language string error can be ignored because WP-Email/WordPress did not include any languages for PHPMailer within the distribution.
