(Solved) Translations not saving getting -1 missing

[need2011]

Good Day to all,

I am having an issue with 8.2.1 translations.  I see that there is a problem saving translations.  I have searched and see that others are having the same problem but I see no solutions.

Will someone that knows the solution please answer this. I tried to update and change a translation in the front office and it is not saving.  I get a red error of  -1 missing.  I also tried to change an email template and it also did not save.  I changed the email manually through the file system.

If front office translations needs to be changed through the file system could someone share the path.

Thanks

FTP up to your site,  go to translations/your language/ the block of translations that you want.

I opened it up in Notetab Pro. You can really use any text editor to open it ie notepad.  Do a search for the translation that you want to change make your changed then save and upload it.

I usually like to rename the original file with original just to make sure that if I corrupted the file updated I have the original to fall back on.

Good Day! The red “-1 missing” when saving translations is almost always caused by one of these four things:

the server blocks the large POST request (WAF/ModSecurity),

PHP drops part of the form (max_input_vars too low),

file/dir permissions prevent writing translation files,

Thanks for the input I'm sure that this will help.
