Same problem here. I guess something wrong in this code. It does not get text from the JText:: ('K2_COMMENT_FORM_NOTES') either from en-GB nor from translated language file. I have changed the text in english file, swirhced to language override but still it is showing a predefinite text, in my case the text is
"Make sure you enter the (*) required information where indicated. Basic HTML code is allowed."
--But actual text in language file (en-GB) is
"Make sure you enter the (*) required information where indicated. HTML code is not allowed."
--and in language file (ru-RU) is
"Убедитесь, что вы вводите (*) необходимую информацию, где. HTML-коды запрещены"
Tried to solve in various way but without success, I guess something wrong in the following code.
<?php if($this->params->get('commentsFormNotes')): ?>
<p class="itemCommentsFormNotes">
<?php if($this->params->get('commentsFormNotesText')): ?>
<?php echo nl2br($this->params->get('commentsFormNotesText')); ?>
<?php else: ?>
<?php echo JText::_('K2_COMMENT_FORM_NOTES') ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</p>
<?php endif; ?>
