<p>I have the following problem:
My Craft site was setted up normally. I made entries with matrix structure and build one after another. </p>

<p>Then after i built a lot of entries i wanted to set up a second locale for the site. </p>

<p>So i used the craft manual on your site and i told the fields that i want to have in the second language as well that its translateable.</p>

<p>But now if i want to translate my matrix fields in the entry, THE HOLE matrix structure is gone :O but of course i do not want to create them new. </p>

<p>If i do ne entries now after setting up the second language, matrix fields are translateable, but not my entries that were exist before... How can i now fix it?
I read on different blogs that is a bug..</p>

<p>Please help me :)</p>

My guess is that you've got xDebug installed and you're running into this: [Why are some entry detail views empty in the control panel?](https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/questions/1559/why-are-some-entry-detail-views-empty-in-the-control-panel/1560#1560)

Or your php.ini file's [memory\_limit](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.memory-limit) is set to something low and you're running out of memory and it needs to be bumped up.
