 * Hi, we are using WPML and the event calendar plugin. When the event calendar 
   plugin is activated, one of the 3 languages is not working.
 * I am getting this error only on the Armenian version. The Russian and English
   versions are working properly. When I deactivate the event calendar plugin all
   languages are working properly. Please help
