Adding Zones For Japanese (and English)...

[Peace Freak]

Thanks for that... Ended up copying them in one by one...

I wonder what is the best way to have them in a Japanese / English cart. I first put them all in Japanese, and then added a few English ones (while in the English Admin), to see how they would show up, but there was no differentiation between them.

Both the Japanese and the English appear in the popup whether logged into the J side or the E side...

Perhaps I am missing something?

Would appreciate any input on this!

Actually, not having two separate files is a major problem. On the English side all the Japenese turns to mojibake so it looks terrible... And having Japanese mixed in with English is just no go...

So I think the best thing to do would be to turn off the pupup menu and just let people type in the prefecture themselves, at least until I can work out how to create separate files for them....

Could anyone give me their considered opinion and some concrete suggestions as to what to do??

Have tried turning off State - Always display as a pulldown? In Admin/Config/Customer Details but after pressing submit, the pulldown appears in the next window...

There must be a way around this?

Any help would be appreciated!

The problem here is the character sets.
You cant use an English character set to display Japanese but you can use a Japanese character set to display English.

The pull down menu appearing is easy to change, search the forum its been covered many times, and it appears when you have entered a state incorrectly, the only thing is, is that pull down menu of states/prefectures is not listed in the correct order for Japanese, it is usual convention for it to be listed in the order they are in the country starting from the North in Hokkaido and going south to ermmmmmmm Okinawa (or whatever else is the most southerly).

Thanks Reesy...

Well, I don’t really understand how things work.

Turning off the pulldown menu is not an option in my case as when I do, it is not possible to make a new account. (This I believe is a bug with 1.3.5).

I entered the prefecture names in the Zones area of the Admin in Japanese. If I add another set in English, then the pull down menu then contains both the E and the J sets at the same time, and when viewed in English, the Japanese ones will be Mojibake.

I do not understand how to make only the English ones appear when on the E side and only the Japanese ones to appear when on the J side...

Hope you can help...
