-- PHP version -- : 5.5.18
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : any

Hello,

I need the paypal payment page to be only german, regardless which country the user comes from or whatever browser setting he/she has.

I have tried the following, without success.

1. Setting the paypal url to: www.paypal.de/cgi-bin/webscr
Result: The redirect would not end in a payment form, but just in a merchant login form.

2. Setting the paypal url to: www.paypal.com/de/cgi-bin/webscr
Result: PayPal still displays in English, if a shipping country other than Germany (and Austria) is chosen

3. Inserting a hidden field in the checkout form:
<input type='hidden' name="lc" value="de_DE" />
and even
<input type='hidden' name="lc" value="de" />
or
<input type='hidden' name="lc" value="DE" />

Result: PayPal still displays in English, if a shipping country other than Germany (and Austria) is chosen

4. Also inserted an array key 'lc' => 'de' into the paypal vars array in paypal.php (plugins/hikashoppayment/paypal/) around line 59
Result: PayPal still displays in English, if a shipping country other than Germany (and Austria) is chosen

Any ideas on how to get this solved?

Thanks

Hi,

The fourth method should definitely help.
Also, you might want to check the language setting of the seller section of your PayPal account.
the lc parameter is the only one PayPal offers for HikaShop to send the language. Then, it's up to it to display the interface in the language it wants.

Thanks I'll take a look at the paypal account again. It's not mine, so I'll know in a few days.
