language_file_not_found: Language file ./../language/en/language/es_x_tu/acp/permissions_phpbb.php couldn't be opened.

Tells you right there. It can't find the language because you've uploaded it to the wrong place.
You've put the whole language folder in the /language/en

You should have
/language/en
and
/language/es_x_tu

NOT
/language/en/language/es_x_tu

[lochness]

Noooooo, the language is not nested inside the English file. Only that file to be able to manage permissions.

Just to be clear, this is the content of the language directory right now.

By the way, the es has not been updated right now. the updated language packs are validated ffor 3.3.11 but also missing some files and parameters.

Noooooo, the language is not nested inside the English file.

I'll say it again. And you're backing it up by showing it yourself.

You've put the whole language folder (for the added es_x_tu language) in the /language/en

[lochness]

Since when a single file is the whole language pack?

I'll say it again. And you're backing it up by showing it yourself.

This is the file I had to copy inside the English pack to check and manage permissions.

This is the whole language pack below. Not nested in the English language pack.

No this does not correspond to the language package which can be downloaded here.
As the next version will be released soon, after several months of using version 3.3.11, do you really think that no one would have noticed these errors?

[lochness]

Well, I can assure those are the contents from the file I downloaded yesterday here.

And how many people update every time there’s an upgrade, or even an update? Last time I was ready to update my version was after php 8.0 was launched and I upgraded that in the server for other domains, but back then phpBB 3.3.x didn’t support it, so I held that back. Until yesterday. And of those to upgrade each and every time, how many use a language other than English?

There’s a reason stable versions are maintained for four or five years.

[ssl]

Go ask on the phpBB Spain forum if they use English as their default language

[KevC]

I know you're saying you have the language pack uploaded to the right place, but you ALSO have it (or a portion of it) uploaded to the /language/en/ folder.

Delete the /language/en/language/ folder. It should not be there.

[warmweer]

lochness' last activity was on 11 May 2024, 10:15 which is kind of strange as his issue didn't seem to have been resolved.

To summarise:

The spanish_casual_honorifics_3_3_10.zip contains a folder spanish_casual_honorifics_3_3_10

It's the contents of that folder (3 separate directories):
ext/
language/
styles/

have to be copied to the board root

If you are using extra styles, then you may have to make a copy of the styles/prosilver/ from the language pack and rename "prosilver" to your extra-style-name/ (not literally, but to the name of the extra style you're using) and upload that also.

[lochness]

I know you're saying you have the language pack uploaded to the right place, but you ALSO have it (or a portion of it) uploaded to the /language/en/ folder.

Delete the /language/en/language/ folder. It should not be there.

I had to put it there manually to get rid of the blank page and be able to access the permission page.

And it’s been a lot of years since i last used a second style. It was a pita with upgrades so i dropped the one we were using, which was the most similar at the time to subsilver.

By the way, @warmweer, I currently have a bigger problem with the board, which is a steep increase in outgoing traffic and the corresponding use in CPU and general slowness starting mid April. Somebody hinted me it might be a certain agent or an AI in training and I’m trying to get information on how to mitigate. I would love to see the log with no errors and the language structure with the expected structure, but since this one has a working walkaround you might understand it is not the highest ranked on my priority list currently.

[Mick]

I currently have a bigger problem
