Using LinguaPlone in Plone 4, the TinyMCE editor is not showing up

Question

I'm using LinguaPlone 4.1.3 with an instance of Plone 4.3 and upon hitting "Translate into..." and choosing one of the languages, on the following editing screen the TinyMCE editor does not show up.

I'm able to switch to Plone output HTML in the dropdown menu there on the right, and it gives me just the HTML box. However, none of the options display the TinyMCE editor. When editing normal pages (i.e. not translated content), TinyMCE works fine — it's set as the default for the site, and also the default in my personal preferences.

Any ideas to fix this or what to look for would be great! On another site on this same Plone instance, the translation functionality works fine (TinyMCE shows up as it should).

Also, in case it helps, here's the output HTML for the area where the editor would be. Thanks!

Answer 1

@eleddy solved it!! Here's her response:

Yo yo yoes! For those who don't know, Chinese (China) is a combined language so you have to go into the portal_language tool in the ZMI and check the box that says "Allow combined languages", then the other Chinese will show up. Two bottles of celebration beer later and you are Chinesing all over the place.

Answer 2

Simplified Chinese(zh_CN) is usually called for short Chinese(zh)

In view @@language-controlpanel Available languages (The languages in which the site should be translatable.) Selected 'Chinese (China)' rather than 'Chinese'.
