the installation of this component went really well and dead easy for a noob like me!!

I am setting this up for the company I work for (small environmental consultancy) and thought, based on my back end experiences, that despite the language issues (don't speak italian but kind worked it out) this was going to be a real winner as it did everything I wanted to do and more!

far more comprehensive than the other joomla timesheet plugins I've played with!!!!

The issues started at the front end...
1. all in Italian
2. could not navigate to different days of the year, let alone the current day
3. there were no projects to choose from to associate my time with
as the above 3 points did not allow me to do anything, any more comments on the front end are null.

My only issue with the back end, (I can live with the italian - good chance to learn a new language!!) is that when I go to establish a new activity, it says that "ONG_STATE" (what's this mean>) is ticked green but then when I go to link activity with a project it says that the state is a red X meaning it is not active.

I'd love to say that I could just go in and fix the issue, but I just don't know how. Long term I am going to learn, but right now I just need it to work!
can you help me?
