You'll have debug information regarding the language files. It will tell you if Joomla has found errors in them and if so on which line of which file. You can then look at the files at the location pointed out by the debug and you can usually find what the problem is. Most of the times, the problem comes from copying or editing the translation files, messing in the process the files by adding line returns in the middle of translation texts, which is not allowed by Joomla. This causes Joomla to fail the parsing of the file.

It deletes all the descriptions of languages. If a normal version of hikashop is not doing this, it can only be due to the custom work in the product page layout you made. Not knowing this happens until sales from another country drop again, and several issues regarding the custom layout work not having been taken seriously has cost me dearly. And i would just like you to know that after almost a full year of procrastinating the project, i finally started the project of building a new website in woocommerce over this.

However, since HikaShop 5.x, no one reported an issue like this. You're the first one. We would have had to look deeper into it in order to try to understand the problem. I guess that this is not on the table if you're moving to another solution. I wish you all the best with your new website then.
