Japanese Language Pack

I want to download the latest Japanese pack, is there a single zip file available anywhere. If not in a previous post using FireFox to achive this was mentioned but I cannot seem to work out what to do. Could someone explain this please?

You can go to the link, https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/...l10n-jp/trunk/ , and if you have firefox you can install an extension into it called DownThemAll!, http://www.downthemall.net/ , then go to that first link, pick the php files that you want to download and download them! You could always make the zip file for everyone:smartass: ?

I also noticed just now as I am trying to install time offset that it has order.php as one of the files to change, so you will have to add the code to that file.

on line 861 it should read as this
$this->customer['firstname'] . ' ' . $this->customer['lastname'] . EMAIL_GREET . "\n\n" .

added to that line was the EMAIL_GREET.

I think this should be all that is needed, if anyone else knows let me know. So if you have timezone offset installed and you changed this, change it back and add that code

well as time zone offset blew up in my face:lamo: i have no clue if that works so if someone does know, let everyone else know.

Have just downloaded what I believe to be all the relevant Japanese files... Not everything of course, but what I deemed to be necessary.

I am kinda new to this, so I think someone should first check them out...So if someone would do us all the honor and check them out I will send you a copy... Once they are ‘approved’ so to speak, I will upload them to Zen, if someone would be kind enough to tell me how and where to upload the zip file to..

One more thing about getting the email to work, you will need to add define('EMAIL_GREET', ','); to your checkout_process.php on the english side of things. I put a comma so it shows up like First Name Last Name, . if you don't do that, then it will put EMAIL_GREET after the name in your english emails.

As for the zip file, I think if we put one up, it should have everything in it. But just my thoughts. I might do it if I have time later.

I guess the previous post has some relevance to this question, but I am not sure...

Due to my limited Japanese, I was not aware of the following two problematic areas that have just been pointed out to me...

The first one is when a new account is created, the New Account Welcome message is sent out, but rather than use the family name and sama it uses the first name... (The English greeting appears to be fine: Dear Mr. Jones) I am told that I MUST change this to the family name and sama. How do I do this?

For the second one, I am not sure about the proper thing to do... When someone places a new order, a New Order Confirmation Email is sent out. Currently, just the persons name is written, with no honorific suffix... The English side seems alright to me, but I wonder if sama should be added to the Japanese... If so, how do I do it?

Thanks in advance!

Not to sound rude Peace Freak but what you are looking for is right above your post. you need to read post 48-your post and you should have all that you need. I would post this all agian if it was posted somewhere else but its right there.

after that let us know if you have anymore questions, would be glade to help out.

Really appreciate your input. I have of course read through all the posts but actually knowing what one needs is half the problem... I just installed your Japanese Address Order fix and it looks good. As I have been already messing around with address formatting with Dr. Byte’s assistance I did not use your particular format, though it mine is almost the same...

I am not having any problems with EMAIL_GREET in the English mails that are being sent out... The English emails being sent out, are properly formatted: Dear Mr. Jones.

It is the Japanese side that is about face... I have tried searching for files to edit from both the E side and the J side but have had no luck..

Basically, I have looked in the create_account.php (includes/languages/english/mytemplate but cannot work out how to change it... I believe this is the area that I need to edit:

// greeting salutation
define('EMAIL_SUBJECT', STORE_NAME . '?????');
define('EMAIL_GREET_MR', '%s ?' . "\n\n");
define('EMAIL_GREET_MS', '%s ?' . "\n\n");
define('EMAIL_GREET_NONE', '%s ?' . "\n\n");

In the Japanese side I believe I must change %s which currently calls up the first name, (yet calls up the last name on the English side) Perhaps I have something configured wrong, but I do not know where to go...

As for the Order Confirmation email lacking a samma, I found that checkout_process.php contains the relevant text but there does not seem to be anything connected to the persons name so I am not sure how to add samma into the code... Here is the code as it stands:

// $Id: checkout_process.php 1969 2005-09-13 06:57:21Z drbyte $
//

define('EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT', '??????????????');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_HEADER', '?????');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_FROM',' from '); //added to the EMAIL_TEXT_HEADER, above on text-only emails
define('EMAIL_THANKS_FOR_SHOPPING','??????????????');
define('EMAIL_DETAILS_FOLLOW','??????????????');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER', '?????:');

And here is a sample of what I see in the new order email:
????? from GPC Store

?? ??

??????????????
??????????????etc...

Look forward to hearing any suggestions...

You are not seeing question marks are you, thats just that you posted that in Japanese right. I am trying to get my head around your problem. I am going to send you a pm.

I will say one thing, I just relized that my invoces don't have Sama...man this Sama thing can drive someone crazy:yuck: , also if you use my order address format then you better live in Japan as it dosen't add Japan to it, b/c I live here. If you live outside, then you should change that so that it has Japan. But there are links in the download to tell you how to do that.

Pino, if you have a question could you post the question on this forum and that way everyone can see it, if you would like, email me a link to it and I will try to answer it, but I just started my site live and my vacation from my other job is up so I am kind of busy now. But I will try.

:wink2:
