Working through a problem with a client with a multi-lingual website, it seems there is a bit of a problem caused by the order of the includes files. The normal order is like this...

include "vsadmin/db_conn_open.php";
include "vsadmin/inc/languagefile.php";
include "vsadmin/includes.php";

...and that is good as when you define a language file entry in the includes.php file it can overwrite those previously defined in the language file. But, it also means that setting the $languageid in the includes.php file doesn't affect the language that is defined in the languagefile.php include.

There are two ways around this. The easiest is to define $languageid somewhere in the db_conn_open.php file as that comes before the languagefile.php include.

The second way is to just change the language file include line to whichever language you require...
include "vsadmin/inc/languagefile.php";

to that of the language you require, for instance
include "vsadmin/inc/languagefile_en.php"; // For English
...or...
include "vsadmin/inc/languagefile_fr.php"; // For French
...or...
include "vsadmin/inc/languagefile_es.php"; // For Spanish

(For very high volume websites this is actually more efficient as the store doesn't need to access the database to see what language is being used.)
