Hello,

Thank you for your continued work on CWP!

I would like to report a possible language issue in CWP 1.30.8 on AlmaLinux 10.

Although the administrator language is configured as Spanish, the **admin sidebar menu remains in English**.

Some pages and modules display Spanish translations correctly, but the sidebar continues to show entries such as "Dashboard", "CWP Settings", etc.

Configuration:

/usr/local/cwp/.conf/cwp.ini

LANGUSER=es
LANGADMIN=es

I have verified that the Spanish menu translation file exists:

/usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/resources/admin/modules/language/es/menu.ini

Both the English and Spanish menu translation files contain **171 translation keys**, with no missing keys in the Spanish version.

I also verified that PHP can successfully read and parse the Spanish translations:

MENULABEL1: Panel de control
MENULABEL2: Configuración de CWP

File permissions and ownership are identical for both language files.

It appears that the administration sidebar is not loading or applying the selected Spanish translations, even though they are available.

Could you please check whether this is a known issue with the admin menu language handling?

Thank you!

Hello,

First of all, thank you for addressing the admin sidebar language issue in the CWP 1.30.9 changelog.

I have updated my server to CWP 1.30.9 on AlmaLinux 10.2 and tested the issue again.

Unfortunately, the admin sidebar menu still remains in English, even though Spanish is correctly configured.

Additional findings:

- `LANGADMIN=es` and `LANGUSER=es` are correctly set in `/usr/local/cwp/.conf/cwp.ini`.
- The Spanish `menu.ini` file exists and contains all 171 translation keys.
- PHP can successfully parse the Spanish translations.
- The sidebar still displays English labels such as "Dashboard" and "CWP Settings".
- I also tested using a private/incognito browser session, with the same result.
- The `menu.php` file was compared between my AlmaLinux 8 and AlmaLinux 10 installations, and both have the same SHA-256 checksum.

Therefore, the correction mentioned in the changelog does not appear to resolve the issue in my environment.

Could you please take another look at the sidebar language handling?

Thank you again for your quick response and your continued efforts to improve CWP. I really appreciate your work.
