<h1 align="center">Elements of the Editing Interface Disappear or Appear Corrupted</h1>
<h3>Problem</h3>
<p>Editors using non-English locales are presented with a corrupted editing interface -- certain components may be missing or garbled, text labels may be missing, and / or the internal names of the interface strings may appear instead of their appropriate translations.</p> 
<h3>Solution</h3>
<p>This occurs when the compilation of the language strings database fails. You will probably find that it is already being discussed in the <a href="http://forums.dmoz.org/forum/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&amp;number=21">Bugs and Features forum</a>, but if not consider bumping an existing thread such as <a href="http://forums.dmoz.org/forum/threaddisplay.cgi?t=Forum21/HTML/003315.html">http://forums.dmoz.org/forum/threaddisplay.cgi?t=Forum21/HTML/003315.html</a> .</p>
<p>Note: when new interface strings are added, editors using non-English locales are supposed to see them in English until they have been translated for the editor's locale. Occasionally this doesn't happen. As a result you may find that a specific part of a specific editing script looks peculiar. The best solution is to ensure that the new string is translated -- World/&lt;Language&gt;-level editors can do themselves, others will have to contact an editor at that level of their category and request that they make the necessary change.</p>
