I am VERY new to having Translations on a web site, and to be honest I have read so many different ways that they work.
So I installed FaLang and HikaShop hoping I could put together a small on-line shop.
I can get a few things to Translate
The front page module has all the FaLang Translations
But just how does all the other stuff work

I would love to see a screen shot of how the Product details and what should I add to each language field ?
If there is anyway someone could show me just how to set it up, I would be grateful
Cheers

Hi
turn on the "mutlilingual edition interface"

joomla languages switcher module


Stéphane From Falang has told me that your component should work as is, but on some of my test sites it has four menus

I am very confused

Cheers

www.hikashop.com/support/download/languages.html is 404 - Category not found

Hi,

To edit the HikaShop content, you should be able to edit the content directly on the product edition page for example.
On this page click on the flag of the desired language then fill the fields with the translated content.

To edit translation keys you have to edit the language file in HikaShop > Configuration > Languages.

The link to the language documentation is:

Hi

I have downloaded the Shop and joomla language files

With edit the content directly on the product edition page

There are four windows that pop up, one for each language, this is where I get lost

Cheers

Hi,

They should not popup all at the same time.
I think that there is a javascript error or something like that.

Thanks to check with your browser console if any error is returned and give us that error message.

Hi
Here are four windows that pop up, one for each language

One at a time
What should I write in these ?
What language will it show ?
Cheers

You just have to click on the tab of the desired language, then fill the fields for this language.

For example, select Japanese tab, set the product name in Japanse, the product description in Japanese and save, then in the frontend when selecting the japanese, the product informations will be in japanese.

So you are telling me
I have to add product name in Japanese, the product description in Japanese Plus all the other stuff

So what do all these language files do?
and Integrated multilingual content means ?

And where do I get the product description in Japanese - Chinese & Korean

Ok

I have added the JV Bing Translator module but now it is not translating the "Add to cart" which was working using the FaLang Language Switcher
other bits have also stopped translating

This is becoming a night mare

any more ideas

Hi
I have turned off the JV bing translator module and switched back to the FaLang Language Switcher but only the Japanese works with "add to cart"
In fact the Chinese does not work anywhere

Could it be a bug ?

The GTranslate uses Google which China is blocking

Hi
I already have the FOUR HikaShop Language files as my post two days ago shows.

And I downloaded it again and placed it in the Joomla Language folder, overwriting the previous version.

Then I used the auto updater and got "Hikashop found your language on hikashop.com, this language file will be loaded on your textarea so you can save it and use it on your own website'

It would appear that you win some and lose some, as the /checkout.html will only translate some of the words

Hi,

Regarding the Chinese translations, I think that there was a problem during the save of the language file.
Thanks to try to save it again, and try to add a translation in the override part in order to see if the file is called on the frontend.
