After changing settings and cache back and forth multiple times hundreds of language variables where deleted. This is not good. There is something wrong with that.

I copied them from the live site again, applied the patch provided. It seems to be working now.

BTW before applying the patch it still didn't work with the info present in db. It worked only after applying this patch so the patch is necessary.

Ok.Thank you for the explanation.

As I understand the current state is following.

1)Changes to templates do not reflect on storefront (DB is needed to investigate the problem)
https://bt.x-cart.com/view.php?id=44962

2)Static pages + absent_lang_vars + enabled " Use cache for language variables (DB is needed to investigate the problem)
https://bt.x-cart.com/view.php?id=44962

3)Static pages + absent_lang_vars + disabled " Use cache for language variables (SOLVED, The patch is provided)

Thank you.

On top of that the next option - Do not check if templates are changed (Smarty compile_check). - must be checked. Otherwise "clear XC cache" from Maintenance page in admin does not clear templates_c directory. I had this issue on every store I upgraded to 4.7.3.

By the way

--------------------------
4. Smarty var/templates_c
In X-Cart 4.7.0 you no longer have to clean up this directory when customizing your store, like it used to be in 4.6.x
Smarty automatically ensures that the compiled templates are up to date.
There is only one case in which you need to clean up var/templates_c. It is when custom smarty pre/post filters are being developed, or when the internal realization of a custom smarty pre/post filter has been changed.

By the way,
starting with X-Cart version 4.7.0 the tool was renamed from 'Clear templates/X-Cart Cache' to 'Clear X-Cart Cache' because the Clear templates operation is no longer needed and the tool no longer does it. However, we kept the ability to clear compiled templates for the http://www.yoursite.com/xcart/cleanup.php script.

Why do you need to clear var/templates_c dir ?

I ran into something related to this:

Upgraded from 4.3 to 4.7.3
Changed txt_welcome
The changes did not appear even though use_cached_lng_vars is Off
Turning this On allows the changes to be seen, which seems backwards at first
Using the new Clear X-Cart Cache had no effect since it only clears var/cache. This makes sense since use_cached_lng_vars is already Off
Yes, we want to try clearing var/templates_c but there's no longer a way to do that from Tools > Maintenance
Nice that you have kept the ability to use cleanup.php, but it is 403 unless you first enable DEVELOPMENT_MODE in config.php
Enabled DEVELOPMENT_MODE then ran cleanup.php finally cleaned up the Languages variable

This was not a fun exercise, I doubt most people would figure it out, and having to temporarily put a live store into dev mode was not the best situation. Maybe I misunderstood the proper steps but they were not apparent.

Thank you for the bug report.

It has been fixed.
