    Default Setting a new language problem !

    Please I need your help, I'm trying to set up a new language " Arabic " for my website, as I am new user for zen-cart and haven't set my products to the website yet , I may show up here too often , First I tried to copy most of the directories as back up and to prepare the second language, the thing here I'm doing this in Dreamweaver and when I copy the folder to the same directory it asks me to update the links, so I click on "yes" then the links within those page changed to /copy of****/ which I don't think is the right way ! So my question in short is, what and how and where should I copy all required files and folders to set a new language and should I click on update links when it asks me or not ?

    You should not need to duplicate most of your directories for a second language. Most of the new directories and files you will need are in /includes/languages/ (and probably /includes/templates/your_template/buttons/arabic/). All of the files/folders you need ought to be included in a properly written language pack, so all you need to do is drop the pack into your file structure. This is assuming that there is an Arabic language pack somewhere - if you don't already have one, search in the FAQs and the wiki, where language packs are discussed.

    Oh, and it is probably not a good idea to be using Dreamweaver for this, as you are experiencing. Anything that automatically changes things is likely to mess it up.

    Well, I don't see an Arabic language pack in Downloads.
    There is a detailed section in the wiki under Languages that describes how to make a language pack. Download an existing pack to see the correct files and folders to use.
