Captcha 3.0 doesn't show image in French

[ro1960]

For some reason, when the language selected is French, the Captcha image doesn't show. It works with all the other languages I've tried (over a dozen).

How can this be fixed?

Thanks.

Sorry about that! Here we go:

http://www.brunopaccard.com/cpg/captcha.php?lang=french is broken, http://www.brunopaccard.com/cpg/captcha.php?lang=english works. Usually happens if the language file outputs stuff that it shouldn't, which is in turn usually the case if a language file has been edited with an editor that is not fit for the task.
Get a vanilla French language file (e.g. from http://coppermine.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/coppermine/trunk/cpg1.4.x/lang/french.php?view=log) and replace the language file on your server with the vanilla file. Make sure to upload using a genuine FTP app like FileZilla and not some crutch like MS Frontpage or some web FTP app.

OK, I followed your instructions and replaced the /lang/french.php file with a fresh version. No difference. All the files have been uploaded at the same time in the same manner with Interarchy 9.0.1. No edits were made as far as I remember. If I did, it was using BBEdit 9.5 and this should normally not be an issue.

I'm not familiar with Mac tools. All I can say is that the reason for the image not showing as expected almost certainly is the fact that the output starts prematurely.
This is the http traffic sniffed with live HTTP headers

The Mac tools I am using are fairly standard developers tools.

I don't understand what you mean by "the output starts prematurely". And I am not sure  what to do with the http traffic.

How can this problem be fixed? Why is it only affecting the French language?

[Joe Carver]

OK, I followed your instructions and replaced the /lang/french.php

Have you replaced the language file for the plugin with clean copiy? Or only the Coppermine file? Or both?

[ro1960]

Both.

[Joachim Müller]

To show you the difference, here's what live http headers sniffs for the output of the captcha file with the language set to english:
