This pack is developed by Crystal Koi Design. (www.crystalkoi.com). the pack has major

portions taken from the Japanese zen-cart team, but has been updated for 1.3.7. It

has also had all the Kana entry fields taken out of the code.

Included in this pack are address order files. These are core file changes and are up

to you if you want to use them. Recommended that if you live and do most of your

business with Japanese customers then use the address order files. You could also

clone your template and include the files for the address order under that template

and then set your template up for the Japanese language. This would be the best

solution but requires more overall work for all your updates and modifications.

The buttons have not been updated yet but are to come and have been taken from the

English pack and the other Japanese pack. We ask for everyone to please help test

this and develop it. The admin area has all been added but the configuration menu

area is still in English. Japanese is to come.

Note EZpages are only supported in one or the other language. We suggest learning how

to make and add your own pages as it’s a cleaner way anyways but we are looking for a

solution to this.

This is not like the 1.3.0.2 pack for the Japanese zen-cart team. This pack drops in

to existing zen-carts 1.3.7

If you are updating from 1.3.6 or other versions and are worried about the ezpages.

Use a redirect from your old page url locations to the new locations of the pages that

you made.

To learn how to make pages use the About Us Pages module located here:

Thanks to the Japanese team for all the translations that you have done, give credit

where credit is due. We have just provided a different avenue for people to go with

this. We also stayed away from the Kana entry area because it changes core files and

adds a lot of work for the user to update.

Please not the BETA. This is the 1st test run and we are sure that there are going to

be things that should be changed. Please pm or post all recommendations and we will

apply all that we can. Also if you have Japanese test users that can go through

things Admin and Customer side would be a big help. We have translators working with

us but every bit helps to make this pack as great as we can.

Please test this before you take it live and thanks for all that will help!

Regards

The HTML Area isn't working, trying to fix this. Will add it soon.

[CrystalKoi]

The HTML area has been added. The pack was missing one file. If you already downloaded the pack then you can manually put the file in. If not, then the download has been updated and should work fine.

here is the link to the manual file. ja.zip
it goes in editors/htmlarea/lang/

Let us know if you have any problems.

Hello CrystalKoi:

Kudos for all your hard work!

I'm installing a ZC shop for a client. They would like to do admin in English, but be able to provide product display in either Japanese or English, as well as enter Japanese _in_ on the admin side. Would you sugggest your Japanese Pack?

Thanks in advance,

Patrick

I was able to install the Japanese Language pack without a problem. But now there are a lot of little bugs that I cannot fix. For example, when I enter a catagory in the catalog, I will put in the English version of the title and the Japanese version of the title, but the Japanese version of the title gets cut off when I update the site. For instance, I enter Necklaces in English but when I enter Necklaces in Japanese and look at it on the site...it reads NEKU only (A MAXIMUM OF 4 CHARACTERS WILL SHOW UP) and the other part of the word is not showing up (in all catagories). What can I do to correct this problem?

I also have an issue with the Yen symbol not showing up on my product pages (some other strange symbol shows up) and the conversion from Dollar to Yen is incorrect. I am new to Zen Cart and hope someone can help.

Thanks

Hi, I know its hard to deal with these little "bugs" at 1st. I will be going through a lot of them. I am going to try and finish up the Japanese Pack, at least up to 1.3.7 version of zen-cart this Friday/Saturday. It might be a chore to get it all worked out by then, but I am meeting with a customer on Saturday, and its my goal to have the pack installed by then. I am also creating a write up for the install as I go through it. I will try to address as many issues as I can.

For the name, it can depend on your database limit.

Make sure to always enter information into the site when the cart is in Japanese. That might fix things for you.

As for the yen symbol, I would just use "yen" for now, as that is accepted practice in Japan, I know this isn't a great fix, but it should work for now.

I will post back when I have the pack up and going. Also Mr. Seiji Matusumoto is going to help in creating the Japanese pack for 1.3.8. He works at a college here in Japan dealing with open source projects...what college I can't remember off the top of my head, but he is a great guy and his work is top notch.

Regards,
