Hey guys, I have an instance of Mautic fired up on a server and am running into a few difficulties.  
  
  
  
All the labels look like this “mautic.dashboard.label.unique.visitors” or “mautic.dashboard.header.index” which makes it difficult to use. I figured it was a language problem and that I could fix it by switching from one language to another, but I could not and instead get this error “mautic.core.could.not.set.language”.  
  
  
  
Any thoughts?

English is the default language and is present in the default package. Did you install your Mautic from the [official package](https://www.mautic.org/download/)?

The error message you are getting is described and fixed in [https://github.com/mautic/mautic/pull/1496](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/pull/1496)

I don’t doubt that the issues are related but everything output by mautic is in that cryptic format. Looking at the code there seems to be a function that is used for messages and labels formatted like this `trans($message)` but it is just passing the code, not the message. Looking at this page [https://git.easy.cz/msirovy/mautic/blame/master/app/bundles/InstallBundle/Translations/en\_US/messages.ini](http://example.com) It appears I am only getting the variable not the variables value.
