is your site online to be viewed publicly?
hi,
Thanks for the reply, site not up quite yet, it's very sketchy at the moment.
Basically nothing has been used in the Spanish version other than pages (ez pages) and a logo I uploaded as a banner. The logo in the header is not there. The background is not the same so it can't be using css rules I suppose. The footer copyright part is different too. I will try and upload the files again in the meantime. Thanks for you help:bigups:
Just updating on this:
I tried uploading the files again as before I had burrowed down into folders and copied across to the relevant places - I thought I might have missed something. This time I just rename SU_ADMIN and SU_PLANTILLA and copied straight over. Anyway the effect is the same - so close! Descriptions of categories in Spanish are read, so it's just the layout really.
Without wishing to sound rude, your descriptions of your problems are as clear as mud.
1) You have to copy ALL the files in the pack so that what you have in the english subdirectories mirrors the spanish ones in structure and files: you can't just pick and choose.
2) Have you enabled the spanish language in the admin?
3) Do you now have spanish available as an option in both the admin and catalog?
4) Is your database and mysql connection set up to use utf-8?
5) Using the CLASSIC template (which you should not have touched) and not your customised template, is the layout functioning correctly/looks the same in both languages?
If not what is the difference->use screenshots to help explain: you may not be using the terms of reference people here are familiar with. Take your time, re-read your post before posting to make it as clear as possible to someone who has never seen your site.
Thanks Torvista,
no that's ok, you're not rude - I'll try and be clearer.
Yes I have copied all files I know not to pick and choose, it was just the way that I copied files over that might have caused a problem; it did not.
I have added Spanish in LOCALIZATION/LANGUAGES but my problem is primarily caused by not adding a language in TEMPLATE SELECTION. I have now added a language here and entered TEMPLATE NAME and TEMPLATE DIRECTORY that are identical to my English version.
This has improved things. So now I have my background colours matching.
But I still have some discrepancies. Here is the English version:
Attachment 8760
The header, banner, footer and main text is different in the Spanish:
Attachment 8761
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers
Matt
ok, looks like I've resolved this now.
I simply alter each Spanish file by hand. For example, In LANGUAGES/CUSTOM/spanish.php I changed the copyright information in the footer.
Can someone confirm that this is the the correct way forward? That is that I should alter individual files in this way?
Thanks.
I've got one more annoyance:frusty: and that's that certain English characters are not recognised in the Spanish version of text. E.g. "caldo" in the English version becomes �caldo� in the Spanish.
Does anyone know what's causing this?
Cheers

Remember the spanish files mirror the english ones that come with the install.
You have modified/overridden the english files with your own content. You must do the same changes to the equivalent files in the spanish set.
see point 5) in my post above. You should always retain the classic template untouched as it provides a known working template with no user mods to break it.
On the long road to a working, modified shop you need all the hints you can get to figure out what you have just broken, and switching back to the classic template when you have a problem tells you if the bug is in your template or a core file edit.

The original file is in:
\includes\languages\spanish.php
so you copy it to an override folder and edit the copy
\includes\languages\custom\spanish.php
see point 4) These points are important!Quote:
version becomes �caldo� in the Spanish.
This is due to you having conflicts between your language file character sets and the encoding as served to the browser and probably also the database connection and the character set of the data in the database.
My files are in UTF8 which is not default zen cart encoding, (but it will be). I made them available to the community after spending a lot of time sorting these problems out with accents.
No doubt it would be easier for all concerned if these were in zen cart 8859 encoding, but they are not.
So either you convert all my files back to iso8859 (bad) or convert everything else to use utf-8.
No doubt this is all gibberish to you now, but zen cart is about learning, so read this entire thread carefully, especially the spanish posts, Google anything you don't understand, and then this one:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=93439
and this one for good luck:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=133111
and Google all the things I have mentioned above until you are clear what is going on...
Great, thanks for your time in replying, I appreciate it. The posts were really useful. For others out there, the last is less pertinent to this particular issue. My SQL database is in fact in UTF8 and after retyping my Spanish all seems to be in order. I wonder if I caused some problems by pasting over from MS Word - probably not a good idea. I had some characters that were problematic such as the half symbol that I had used. In this instance, I just substituted it for hex HTML code ( ½ in this case). Might be useful for other people just starting. Everything seems ok so far, so thanks again. I agree about the learning curve you need to go on when new to this - still I've done more than my fair share of learning so I expect I'll survive :smartalec:
Cheers

The current version 1.5 in the downloads now includes a set of both utf-8 files and 8859 files for a default installation and to make life easier for new users.

I have an error. When upload everything, Change the settings and show me this message:
MISSING LANGUAGE FILES OR DIRECTORIES ... Http://bellezacr.com/includes/la Spanish
I'm newbie on this, I forget Upload something? or I need modify some file??
Thanks!
I have an error... I already install the language, change the settings... etc. But, when I try to change the language to Spanish on the site, display the code. Check this out:
http://bellezacr.com/index.php?langu...w&disp_order=6
Try to change the language. Any Ideas?
Thanks!
Read from post #40 in this thread: your template uses new constants that do not exist in the default Zen Cart installation.
You have to replicate the new english constants in the spanish files.
Hola
Tengo un problema con el pack en español.
El caso es que la tienda me funciona perfectamente, pero el panel de administrador NO. Cuando cambio en el menu desplegable arriba el idioma en español - me sale el tipico "El sitio web no puede mostrar la pagina". ¿Donde puede haber error?
mira en la carpeta "Cache" a ver si hay un DEBUG log (myDebug-adm-xxxxxxx.log) que puede darte más información sobre el error.
Por lo que he visto ayer el problema puede estar en los archivos "spanish.php" y "english.php". He comparado los de la tienda y el codigo es practicamente identico (excepto traduccion en español) mientras que los de panel de administrador son diferentes.
Un ejemplo la cabecera para panel_admin en english:
en español:Code:tag define('HTML_PARAMS','dir="ltr" lang="en"'); // charset for web pages and emails define('CHARSET', 'iso-8859-1'); // header text in includes/header.php define('HEADER_TITLE_TOP', 'Admin Home'); define('HEADER_TITLE_SUPPORT_SITE', 'Support Site'); define('HEADER_TITLE_ONLINE_CATALOG', 'Online Catalog'); define('HEADER_TITLE_VERSION', 'Version'); define('HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF', 'Logoff'); //define('HEADER_TITLE_ADMINISTRATION', 'Administration'); // Define the name of your Gift Certificate as Gift Voucher, Gift Certificate, Zen Cart Dollars, etc. here for use through out the shop define('TEXT_GV_NAME','Gift Certificate'); define('TEXT_GV_NAMES','Gift Certificates'); define('TEXT_DISCOUNT_COUPON', 'Discount Coupon'); // used for redeem code, redemption code, or redemption id define('TEXT_GV_REDEEM','Redemption Code'); // text for gender define('MALE', 'Male'); define('FEMALE', 'Female'); // text for date of birth example define('DOB_FORMAT_STRING', 'mm/dd/yyyy');
¿Que opinais?Code:tag define('HTML_PARAMS', 'dir="ltr" lang="es"'); // charset for web pages and emails define('CHARSET', 'iso-8859-1'); // footer text in includes/footer.php define('FOOTER_TEXT_REQUESTS_SINCE', 'páginas vistas desde'); // Define the name of your Gift Certificate as Gift Voucher, Gift Certificate, Zen Cart Dollars, etc. here for use through out the shop define('TEXT_GV_NAME', 'Vale de compra'); define('TEXT_GV_NAMES', 'Vales de compras'); // used for redeem code, redemption code, or redemption id define('TEXT_GV_REDEEM', 'Cupón de descuento'); // used for redeem code sidebox define('BOX_HEADING_GV_REDEEM', TEXT_GV_NAME); define('BOX_GV_REDEEM_INFO', 'Código del cupón de descuento: '); // text for gender define('MALE', 'Sr.'); define('FEMALE', 'Sra.'); define('MALE_ADDRESS', 'Sr.'); define('FEMALE_ADDRESS', 'Sra.'); // text for date of birth example define('DOB_FORMAT_STRING', 'dd/mm/yyyy');
Efectivamente, en la carpeta "zc_admin" el archivo spanish.php es el mismo lo de la tienda. En el parche (español) que descargué faltaba el archivo para zc_admin. Lo que hice es cogerlo de la carpeta "files_utf8" (es una carpeta para conversión a UTF-8), corregir el código (quitando atributos para UTF-8) y subir al servidor. Y funciona. Lo único, en el panel de administrador ahora tengo problemas de los acentos. (Lo típico - en vez de "Administración" sale "AdministraciÀ3n"). Voy a ver si hago algo.
Estoy comprobando todos los archivos ahora mismo para asegurarme de que no hay mas errores estupidos como esto...
Until v1.51 is available in the downloads, please use this corrected version:
zencartspanish.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/zencartspanish/?view=tar
hola . pues muchas gracias por esta actualizacion.
a mi me da problemas tb el panel de admin. veia unos textos correctamente, pero cuando metia datos los veia mal.
ahora todo ok.
la comunidad te lo agradece. :smile:
¿Hay algun foro bueno en castellano?
Creo que no.
Me gustaría hacer algo para fomentar el uso de ZC en españa/castellano: puedo ofrecer hosting gratis para un página web dedicada a ello pero no tengo tiempo crearla ni moderar un foro.
¿Hay gente interesada en contribuir/desarrollar una página/foro en castellano?
Language Pack v1.51 is available in the downloads section.
Hopefully this will be error-free.
As always any corrections/suggestions are always welcome
Hola, tengo un detalle con mi pagina con zen cart. Cuando cambio de idicoma entre ingles y español, los productos desaparecen (el menu de la izquierda desaparece tambien), me podrias guiar un poco en que estoy haciendo mal? este es el sorio en donde lo tengo instalado www.pendrag.comQuote:

Cuando abres un producto en el admin, ¿tienes definidos el nombre del producto y el nombre de todas las categorias hacia arriba definidos en español?
Despues de guardar los nombres es español, ¿siguen guardados cuando abres el producto otra vez?
Voto por crear un foro de soporte y una versión de Zen Cart en español completamente y me apunto como colaboradora. Llevo mucho tiempo utilizando Zen Cart (para mi es la mejor solución como comercio electrónico gratuita y adaptable a tus necesidades si programas un poquito). :clap:
En estos momentos estoy intentando desarrollar un nuevo tipo de producto turistico cuyo precio y disponibilidad se pueda obtener mediante xml para reservas en tiempo real. Estoy iniciando justo este desarrollo y valorando distintas posibilidades, es complejo pero apuesto por esta integracion en zen cart.
Decirme si veis viable iniciar foro de soporte en spanglish
Saludos!

Hi Steve,
This is gonna be a dumb question but 1) With this pack can my customers choose spanish and everything on my site be translated from english to spanish and 2) Do you have install instructions? Not sure where to upload this mod.
Thanks,
Nessa
In case anyone is thinking of doing the files for 1.5 (:lol:),
I have done them already, just waiting for the final release.
I'm having the hardest time trying to figure out how to install your spanish language pack into my site, the instructions are easy to follow as I've installed it before but things are different this time, I installed this part with no problem:
includes/languages/spanish.php
includes/languages/spanish
The problem is this part:
admin/includes/languages/spanish.php
admin/includes/languages/spanish
There's no "language" folder, there are just "js" and "pcl" forlders. From what I've read I should see a admin/includes/languages/ in this place there should be an "english" folder and an english.php file, but these aren't there. In conclusion, I'm half way there, I just need to get admin files up. For what it's worth this is the site: www.almacenescontento.com
There must be a solution for this, right? Which is????
what version of Zen Cart are you using?
where did you get the spanish files from?
new version for 1.5 is available in the downloads, please report errors in the corresponding thread:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1107686
I have installed the Spanish Language Pack 1.51 on ZC 1.3.9h and I don't see where the EZ Pages can be given a spanish translation. Is this correct or what might I be missing.
Thanks.
1) Why? You should be upgrading to Zen Cart 1.5 before all else, not complicating the site and your inevitable upgrade with additional languages.Quote:
I have installed the Spanish Language Pack 1.51 on ZC 1.3.9h...
2) Why? The 1.51 language pack is for...Zen Cart 1.5. It has extra stuff for 1.5 and some stuff taken out from 1.39. There is a version for 1.39 in the downloads list.
3) Ez pages out of the box do not support multiple languages.
Search for "Zen Cart Multi-Language EZ-Pages" with Google to see what you have to do...
1) Limited programming knowledge, business priorities, etc (this is not a fresh install) do not afford me the time do the upgrade. Maybe in the off season if there is one.Quote:

3) Thanks, I will see what google has to say.
You are quite right, pardon my mistake:blush:Quote:
