Hello

$smarty->config_overwrite = false;

From the manual:
If a particular section is loaded, then the global variables and the variables from that section are also loaded. If a variable exists both as a global and in a section, the section variable is used. If you name two variables the same within a section, the last one will be used unless $config_overwrite is disabled.

Ok.

One solution is to rename the keys in the lang-file to avoid conflicts but maybe there is a better solution...

Now I know, why I had the same issue, when I built the list-of-my-own-postings-function. There I renamed the key for the new strings. This should also be the simplest but not very elegant solution in this case.

Tschö, Auge
