Could this be something to do with the German language? Can you confirm this is still a problem when you're using en instead of de?

At least in my case, it works as soon as I switch from "German" to "English". Looking into it ...

It's fairly simple...

shadowbox/build/lang contains shadowbox-de-DE.js and shadowbox-de-CH.js but not shadowbox-de.js. I don't know whether this is documented somewhere, but the fix is: Copy one of shadowbox-de-DE.js or shadowbox-de-CH.js to shadowbox-de.js.

Thanks for your work guys.

If anyone could write a short paragraph about this problem I will add it to the README.txt.

Well, I would put it into INSTALL.txt like this:

INSTALLATION
------------

1. Follow the usual module installation procedure [2].
2. Download the Shadowbox 2.0 Full distribution [3].
3. Extract the download, rename the shadowbox-2.0 directory to just 'shadowbox'
   and place it inside the shadowbox module directory.
4. In the directory shadowbox/shadowbox/build/lang copy one of 
   shadowbox-de-??.js to shadowbox-de.js
5. Visit the status page [4] to check Shadowbox is installed correctly.
6. Visit the settings page [5] to review the global settings.

[2] http://drupal.org/getting-started/5/install-contrib/
[3] http://mjijackson.com/shadowbox/doc/download.html
[4] admin/logs/status
[5] admin/settings/shadowbox

(simply inserted item 4). An alternative would be to patch Shadowbox itself.

It would be possible to add something like "if you want to use Shadowbox with a german language, etc" to item 4 - but OTOH its a fast enough fix ;)

This is, I think most people use English so it's not a required step. Could you make it so it's easier to understand that?

Replace

4. In the directory shadowbox/shadowbox/build/lang copy one of
   shadowbox-de-??.js to shadowbox-de.js

with

4. If Shadowbox should be used on a german site - or on a site containing
   german translations - you have to copy shadowbox-de-??.js to
   shadowbox-de.js in the directory shadowbox/shadowbox/build/lang.

--edit: Added replace/with.

How about, at the bottom:

Note: Translations for the Shadowbox interface are currently handled by files in the shadowbox/shadowbox/build/lang directory. If your site uses German, Portuguese or Chinese translations you will need to copy and rename one of the related language files to e.g. shadowbox-de.js.

Title: Missing language file caused Shadowbox to break » oh my god

i've been banging my head against a wall over this for days now. you know what it was? I didn't check the status message, where it says "In order for the Shadowbox module to work correctly, the Shadowbox 2.0 Full distribution must exists at sites/all/modules/shadowbox/shadowbox."

holy crap.
