The most likely problem is that config file is not writeable by the apache user/group. Are you able to change any of the other settings, such as those on the Other Params tab? After making a change, try refreshing the page to see if the setting goes back to its original value.
Alternatively, it could be that one of the new language fields contained some information in an unrecognised format. If so, perhaps you could provide a list/screenshot of the info you were trying to enter when adding the new language.

Well, i checked the config file, its 777 and all the folders are also 777.
I can change the Other Params settings.
When i want to add a language called ’test’ it won’t save it.
What i did after the ’bug’ is i uploaded a YAMS folder from a other website i made.
Now i do have the other language only when i want to add a other one it still doesnt work.
So it’s ok right now but still it’s a bit weird it doesn’t work.

Please could you provide the details for the new language you are trying to add? You can send me a personal message with the details if you like. It would also be useful to be able to see your config file.

I have a same problem. Please, help me somebody.
There does appear to be problems with the last version (1.2.0 rc3). It sometimes writes the config file, sometimes it doesn’t. There doesn’t seem to be any particular pattern to it. Usually the first effort at deleting/editing/adding anything doesn’t get written; sometimes the second or third attempt will get written.
The config file is always read/written as iso-latin1, which of course breaks any other encoding for the language options other than western languages (in my case Russian and Hebrew in UTF-8). Even the original installation Russian and Japanese language setting options are garbage or just blank in the form; garbage in the config file. I’ve tested by manually editing the config file as UTF-8 and saving it; the domain control panel (CPanel) file viewer shows it fine, the MODx file manager view is fine, but YAMS has garbage or blank fields, and if I save the file through YAMS it’s saved as iso-latin1 again (with garbage).
I’ve poked through the language encoding classes and functions, but it’s beyond me what it’s doing (or not doing).
Version 1.1.9 has no problem with the config file; it’s written as utf-8. However, it does require two attempts at adding a new language before it actually adds it.
The problem appears to be in the YamsUtils::AsPHPSingleQuotedString() function. If I replace the section for generating the language settings options to be written to file with the one from the older version (before this function was applied to the form POST values) it writes to a UTF-8 file with all characters correctly represented (although it still won’t read them; it’s still loading the file as latin1 and I haven’t found the code where it loads the fields into the form yet).
I can’t even find this function, so I have no idea what it’s supposed to be doing.
