Which language-plugin works well with estore to set up a multilingual shop?

[cdarkins]

Hi!

I’ve done a search but can’t find much helpfull information regarding this topic.

Additionally to the already running german-version of my shop, I need to add an english version to reach more customers.

Are there any wp-plugins to switch to multilingual use that have been tested and work well with estore?

Our programmer suggested [http://www.poplarware.com/downloads/language_switcher]

but wanted to now if there are any recommendations for this before starting the work.

I hope you can help out

I haven’t use the multilingual option myself so don’t have any recommendation but there is an “i18n” version of the language file that you can get in newer version of eStore which might come in handy.

I’m not sure if you understood me correctly..

I know that the admin can change the language of eStore. But only into one language.

I need 2 or more languages at the same time, the user will choose which one.

So we want to install one of the many wp-plugins for multilingual-blogs. It won’t be a problem to switch the language of everything except the shop-plugin; tags, categories, articles will all be handled by the language plugin – but how can we connect the shopping cart-language switch?

The multilingual plugin is not going to switch the language of the eStore plugin. When you use the “i18n” language in eStore the multilingual plugin will be able to translate them into any language as that file has entries in i18n format.

I understand, thanks for your reply!

I’ve got Version 4.7.4. installed, but can’t find the i18n language, it’s not in the language-dropdown-menu on the main settings page.

where do I have to look for it?

I recently added this a few days ago. Please get a new build of eStore from here to get this option:

hello amin!

is there a way to just add the i18n-feature without updating the whole plugin?

the reason i’d prefer that way is that our programmer has modified estore to our whishes and now every update is connected with a lot of comparing and testing, which costs us a lot of time and money..

and we just did a major update some weeks ago, it would be quite a pain to have to do it again within such a short time.

It’d be great if there was a simple way to accomplish that.

You can manually copy the content of the “i18n.php” file into the language file that you are currently using.
