Find directions for another language here Install language pack

ZenCart will then when configured, display the selected language.

I think that this is what you were asking

this is tpl_languages.php
tpl_languages.php show languages flags in frontpages (sidebox)

PHP Code:


 $content = "";

  $content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent centeredContent">';



  $lng_cnt = 0;

  while (list($key, $value) = each($lng->catalog_languages)) {

    $content .= '<a href="' . zen_href_link($_GET['main_page'], zen_get_all_get_params(array('language', 'currency')) . 'language=' . $key, $request_type) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES .  $value['directory'] . '/images/' . $value['image'], $value['name']) . '</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;';

    $lng_cnt ++;

    if ($lng_cnt >= MAX_LANGUAGE_FLAGS_COLUMNS) {

      $lng_cnt = 0;

      $content .= '<br />';

    }

  }

$content .= '</div>';

If you don't want to give customers the option of selecting another language, simply turn off the language sidebox in Admin->Tools->Layout Boxes Controller

even then customers can (inadvertently) open shop with another language.

i was trying this, but not working :-/

PHP Code:


<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=<?php   zen_href_link($_GET['main_page'], zen_get_all_get_params(array('language', 'currency')) . 'language=' . $key, $request_type) . '; ?>" />

If your default language is set to Spanish, and you provide the customer with no links to change the language, then the only way for the customer to change the language is if they know Zen Cart well enough to know how to override it by adding parameters to the URL.

You seem to be convinced that there is a problem. Perhaps you can explain what is the exact problem you are experiencing?

i would like have in shop rules.

2 languages EN CZ

and make EN for customers unavailable.

how?

set deafaul CZ, disable block and

add to EN meta_tags.php meta tag for automatic redirection

examp. from url:

HTML Code:

http://localhost/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=85&language=en

to

HTML Code:

http://localhost/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=85&language=cz

why ?

**tripleTTT** · 2 Sep 2006, 01:51 AM

i still have problem with default languge. Even its set def. lang. CZ, sometimes (depend on browser, OS, links from others websites, etc. ) customer open shop in EN.

I will not fill all fields like description by products etc. in two languages. So they are EN empty.

And if customer (somehow) open shop in EN language, isnt shop, but chaoss.
