Do you try to take a shoot while being in ALT mode? If so, then you should know, that:

- in ALT mode the shutter button doesn't take a shoot but run a script
- if you want to take a shoot then go to the standard (non-ALT) mode.

I guess you are in ALT mode so the camera runs a script. From what I know the default script is used to set the CHDK language the same as Canon firmware uses. And it seems that this script can't guess, which language your camera uses (maybe CHDK has not been translated to this language). That's not really a big problem.

If you want to know more about scripts read here:

In a case you'd like to know more about CHDK languages:

that could be a solution thank you...
for ALT mode you mean the mode that allows you to go to the menu? so that is in my case "press the shortcut button"
yep, I was there... tomorrow i will check if this is a solution
thanks for your time!!

You're using the german CHDKDE version, with a default script that tries to set the CHDK menu language to the camera's GUI language - this mechanism only supports german, russian & english language ATM.

As outslider posted, leave the CHDK <Alt> mode for shooting...
