French Language pack

Has anyone attempted to use the current French language pack designed for v1.3.7 on an installation running v1.5.0?

If so, does it work well? If, as I suspect, some conversion is necessary, how much work is involved?

Any feedback is welcome.

Thanks.

Re: French Language pack

Hello,

did you get any further with this?

I think I'm going to have the same problem.
It looks like you have to install the 1.3.9 french version......

Could you possibly upload it under the addons section?

Re: French Language pack

I've installed that pack with zc 1.51 and it seems to be working fine ... so far.

A strange thing though, accents show up all correctly except in months. For example:

The French for "New Products For December" shows "Nouveautés pour d�cembre"

Could this be host-related?

Re: French Language pack

Okay, the host has fixed the issue.

From the french.php include/languages file:
@setlocale(LC_TIME, 'fr_FR');

Changed to:
@setlocale(LC_TIME, 'fr_FR.UTF8', 'fr.UTF8', 'fr_FR.UTF-8', 'fr.UTF-8');
// The first is probably enough... but just to be 'safe'

Re: French Language pack

For the � in your french meta-tags, convert and save the meta-tags.php file in "UTF-8 without BOM"

Re: French Language pack

You will also need to convert and save your English meta-tags.php file in "UTF-8 without BOM"

Otherwise you will end up with blank pages when adding to cart, adding selected products to cart, updating your cart and going to check out.

Re: French Language pack

Hi,

did anyone tried to have the french be the only language? The website mentionned for the update for v1.5.0 is in french only but I can't seem to have it any other way other then english as default and the person has to select french... and in the end, at this time, I need the cart to be in french only. Any help would be greatly appreciated... maybe I missed a step??

Re: French Language pack

The update process of ZC need english phrases to be recognized.
If you delete english, you will not be able to update your ZC in future and ran into problems.
Stay with english as first language and french as second.

Re: French Language pack

Just a note regarding the Order status:

Allez dans [Admin -> Localisation -> États de Commande].
Modifiez le texte français pour chaque état (En attente, En traitement, Livrée, Mise à jour).

"Livrée" is here open to misinterpretation. I believe that it should be changed to Expediée (i.e. Shipped).

Re: French Language pack

There's a German language pack for 1.5.3, but no French language pack. So I guess the Germans beat the French again. <ducks quickly>

Highly unlikely that the author will upload this to the plugins area as he charges 10 Euro (?????) for the pack. I bet the files are showing "GNU Public License V2.0" all over.....

For those who are looking for a French language pack for ZC.1.5.1 in utf-8 format:

I've just uploaded it. (Not my own design) As soon as it's verified by Zen Cart, it will be available.

As for 1.5.3: I'll be upgrading to 1.5.3 soon and if all goes well :lamo: , I'll put in up for everyone to benefit.

Down to 5 euro now. The site is often hanging so the risk of paying and not getting the download, stopped me for sure.

Seeing that Zen Cart is for free and all the work done by the people :smartass: who spend time on it for all of us, basic addons shouldn't be for sale out of respect for the core writers.

Addons written for a specific customer without much use for the general ZC-shopkeeper are another story.

Just my two cents.
