Did you uninstalled the english language pack?
Ehm no do i have to?, you mean the english language pack of Joomla, or slicomments? And how do i do that?
You don't have to uninstall the english language pack of Joomla. I said that because when you install a extension, joomla will only install the translation for that extension if the joomla have the same language pack, for example, if I try to install slicomments in a joomla site that dont have the english language pack, it wont install the english translation for the slicomments.
Have you tried to uninstall and install again? could you check if the file en-GB.com_slicomments.ini
was correctlly copied to language/en-GB/
folder of your site?
I have uninstalled and installed it again just a minute ago. And i have the English language files as you mentioned, see screenshot below. My default language is Dutch.

Hm but if I go to language management in Joomla, I only see the dutch language?
someone else had a similar problem (#18). The problem was that the file was not saved as UTF-8 no BOM. Try this: https://github.com/jonnsl/sliComments/issues/18#issuecomment-3637233
I downloaded the file en-GB.com_slicomments, opend it in Notepad++ and it says the file is ANSI. I tried to save it as UTF-8 and later as UTF-8 no BOM, both did not work! Still looking the same here, don't know what else to try?
That is normal, UTF-8 has backward compatibility with ANSI so when you try to save a file that have only ansi characters the editor will detect the file as ansi. Try this: Enable "Debug System" and "Debug Language" in the global configuration and see if in the front-end it show a message like this
**Parsing errors in language files**
/[redacted]/joomla-slicomments/language/en-GB/en-GB.com_slicomments.ini : error(s) in line(s) 36, 37, 39, 40
No errors at all, everything looks fine.
Check if you have this files in the folder administrator/language/nl-NL: nl-NL.com_slicomments.ini nl-NL.com_slicomments.sys.ini nl-NL.lib_decoda.ini nl-NL.plg_content_slicomments.ini nl-NL.plg_content_slicomments.sys.ini nl-NL.plg_slicomments_akismet.ini nl-NL.plg_slicomments_akismet.sys.ini
if you haven't you can copy those files from the .zip
the file nl_NL.plg_content_slicomments.ini
is named incorrectly, rename it to nl-NL.plg_content_slicomments.ini
To be sure I uninstalled slicomments, then re-downloaded the package, and installed it again. Still the same error. Then I looked in the administrator/language/nl-NL folder, and to my big surprise there were NO nl-NL slicomment files at all?
So I copy that 7 nl-NL you mentioned, and guess what. It works!!!!!! So thank you very much for your support. Still it is strange that it did nog copy the dutch language files to the folder? I guess my problems started there...
But now i can install it on all my websites :-), thank you!
(Little offtopic question: how do i update slicomments in the future without losing my comments?)

use the joomla update manager administrator/index.php?option=com_installer&view=update
Problem solved ..... in c panel, open all the language files for the slicomment and check whether the UTF-8, if not corrected them.
Slicomment works great, except the problem with the privileges of the guest, but this will be resolved :)
Nice way to promote your website here Ivan62?
Not promotion and place is not adequate for the promotion. I just want others to see how a component works perfectly well. That's it. I removed the link and I apologize.
@Ivan62 okay sorry, I quess I judged too quickly. I close the topic, my problem is solved.
@jonnsl I also install it on onother website, again slicomments didn't copy al the files to the administrator/language/nl-NL folder. Like before I had to copy the files manualy!
Instead of the comment field i am getting this:
COM_COMMENTS_COMMENTS_COUNT COM_COMMENTS_LABEL_NAME COM_COMMENTS_LABEL_EMAIL COM_COMMENTS_LABEL_TEXT COM_COMMENTS_CHARACTERS_REMAINING
Here is a screenshot of it: http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/5291/slicomments.gif
Using latest Joolma 1.7 with only sh4sef and multiads.
How can i fix it?
