    Default Bilingual site

    I have just started using Zen Cart, changing and adding items gradually as I go along. I would eventually like to make my site bilingual - Welsh and English - I've seen sites where the welcome page gives a choice of languages which are links to identical sites, only in different languages.
    Is it possible to do this with Zen Cart without a lot of know-how?

    Thanks

    Owen

    If you know how to translate the text into Welsh, you should be able to do this.

    You would copy all of the text definition files into your custom directory and change the values of the defined constants from English to Welsh. This is known as a language pack, and has been done for many languages (but probably not Welsh yet:).

    There is a section in Downloads for Language Packs you can look at for examples, and a forum in Contributions for discussion. You might also do a search in the FAQ/tutorials and the wiki for information.

    You'll probably want to copy the includes/templates/template_default/buttons/english folder and re-work the buttons into welsh too.
