At the beginning of the month, the guys (or guy) at the Japanese Support site as reported as saying that it would be available mid- to late May. So hopefully not too long to wait.

Re: Japanese Language Pack

I'm looking forward to the 1.3 translation as well.
The good news is that they seem to have nearly finished and you can view the status of all files here:

http://www.zen-cart.jp/pukiwiki/722.html

I've also found a repository of Japanese 1.3 files:

https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/zencart-jp/zen-cart-v1.3-l10n-jp/trunk/

Please note that these are not final, may contain errors and are likely to change. Still, it beats translating the additional 1.3 strings from scratch (which is what I was doing until this morning). So glad I found this! Thank you, translation team...

Re: Japanese Language Pack

Im not sure why they are taking their time.
I finished it within a day a few weeks ago but due to bad experience with os in Japan in the past (ie Japanese people REALLY get angry and expect company like support for free) will not share my work with the community at large.
If you are really struggling PM me and I will share it with you.

Re: Japanese Language Pack

I used the above links and downloaded the 1.2 zen cart pack to try to make a complete japanese pack and i get it in and things look ok on the site, not too sure its all ok, but zen cart says "MISSING LANGUAGE FILES OR DIRECTORIES ... Japanese Japanese" I have used winmerge to compair all the files and they seem to be all there, infact i have more in the japanese pack, but still it says im missing stuff. I have no clue what to do here. Can anyone help?

Re: Japanese Language Pack

I had the same thing. My highly technical fix was...

...ignore it.

I'm not sure if it's a bug or if Zen Cart needed to refresh something before recognising the new language files, but in any case the Japanese displays with no problems and logging in to the admin section the following day showed no error messages. I reckon if you've tested the display of the site with your own eyes and are happy then it should be OK.

Re: Japanese Language Pack

well there seems to be an fatal error w/ this if you make it your default. all the answers that people seem to post don't work. do a search for my name and you can see my other posts, would be great if i can get some help on this.

Re: Japanese Language Pack

If you are In Japan Godspeed, you are better off using the latest Japanese release which has support for Takyubin/yamato/sagawara etc rather than anything else IMO.
If you have problems you can just revert back to your backed up site and try again.

Re: Japanese Language Pack

:thumbsup: I got everything worked out, it was all my install fault, but im sure you all new that. thanks for the help. now the admin side of things can be in both japanese and english, it dosent say that I have any missing files anymore.
What I did, was save all the files from both the admin/includes/languages/japanese...... and so on, every file and pic
then i saved everything from includes/languagese/japanese.....everything in that, and it worked great!

I hope this will help someone else or some of you who have it where it says missing files in your admin side of things

Thanks and I know i am new and my questions might sound stupid to some but I will always try to post the answers to what I find out to help the other stupid people like me!:wink2:

Yes they will because incase you havent noticed all of the official development team are English speakers so that gets developed first then it gets translated by others.

Glad to hear you have your site sorted, time to go looking for those shipping and payment modules :wink2:

I used everything I could find from this site so i think i am ok?????, i guess i will go all the way through the stuff and see what it offers me, i have not done that yet, been to busy just trying to set this stuff up to even go thorugh an order, starting this up and doing another job has been a lot of work, but fun.

Re: Japanese Language Pack

I cant check that site from my current location but it looks like the same site as you posted above.
I think you will find that these are just the standard zen modules.
You kind of have to work it backwards, first sort out the difficult stuff like the shipping modules and payment modules (you can find old ones on the japanese zen site from memory) then you can add the Japanese which is comparatively easier.

PS Ill help you out a little the yamato shipping module doesnt work, I had to pay someone to help me fix it.

Re: Japanese Language Pack

yea the yamato one doesnt work and I had to pay for someone to fix it.
There is a normal Japan post one somewhere else and a Yu pack one too but I cant remember where they are.
