Dear Sirs,

We, Zen Cart japanese team announce that our team released Zen Cart Multilingualization pack.
This multilingualization pack made by us(Zen Cart japanese team) and
we calld this as zen-cart-v1.3.0.2-m17n-1.
This multibyte-language infrastructure is currently based on Japanese.


This multilingualization Pack includes features as follows.

- Bundled mb-emulator
(mb-emulator is emulator of PHP's mb_* functions.
In a server environment which can not execute mb_* functions,
it emulates those functions as much as possible.
mb-emulator supports only Japanese charset at the moment.
So, you have to customize mb-emulator for your language.
See also. https://sourceforge.jp/projects/mbemulator/)

- Enhanced multilingualization of phpmailer by using mb_* functions.

- Fixed garbled multibyte strings.

- Changed Date Format(dd/mm/yyyy) to be specified by language file.

- Built from: Patched Zen Cart v1.3.0.x XSS PATCH
(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/zen...e_mirror=jaist)


The multilingualization pack also could be download from download section in zen-cart.com.

To localize Zen Cart for japanese, We need to edit Zen Cart core program to change Zen Cart to multibyte language appliable.
We think that The multilingualization pack is useful for other multibyte language regions.It definitely helps the other volunteer folks who try the multibyte language localization.
We think we can merge our effort to newer Zen Cart development
sometimes, if you have any suggestions, ideas to make it done,
we appreciate it.

Truly yours.
