Thanks for the tip Adpboss...I guess I'm pretty glad that I still haven't made a ton of changes to the templates and can still go back and restore many of them. So clicking on "Restore file" will bring it back to the same condition as if I never chose to "compile" them right?

I'm not 100% on that.

I do most things in the store manually, I've been using it for a long time (relatively speaking).

Backup all your template files via ftp BEFORE you try that restore option.

Well, I ended up doing a "restore all" from the main page of the edit templates, and it restored EVERYTHING. I'm glad you told me before I made too many changes because I was able to save the templates I had changed and just redo them after the Restore. So thankfully, everything is back to normal and I can now use languages to make text and label changes, and also I was able to still save and use the changes that Carrie helped me out with. Thanks everyone. Hope this is informative for others too.

Glad you got it all figured out! I actually didn't even know you could compile the templates until you said something about it. Sounds like it should come with a warning sign!! 8O
