Languages files are not included in the package. You should click on the create button and the latest version of this language will be directly loaded from our website.

Please don't forget to share your translated language files so that we can include them in our next release.
Additionally two options will enable to activate the edition of content in multiple languages and define whether or not to publish the translations by default when using this edition mode. Note that it requires Joomfish to be already installed. If you use our free version, you can still translate your content via Joomfish as the content elements will be automatically added to Joomfish during install if JoomFish is detected.
If your multi lingual content is not displayed on the front end, please make sure that the JoomFish jfdatabase system plugin is enabled in the joomla plugins manager. Also, if you installed JoomFish after HikaShop or if the contentelements folder of JoomFish is not writable, you will have to copy the files manually from the folder administrator/components/com_hikashop/translations to administrator/components/com_joomfish/contentelements.
