now in your cart in another language (tpl_header.php)

[cinziapdl]

Hi there, can anyone help me with this:
I've installed my zen cart in 2 languages and I want the message 'now in your cart' to be in italian for the italian version of the site.
I've followed this thread
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=129945
and now the text is gone from the template.
This text is in the file tpl_header.php and there is no the Italian version of this one. Can anyone tell me how to move this text in the header.php (english and italian) and create the variable in tpl_header.php?
I don't know if that makes sense....
Also, this template is from templatemonster and it seems impossible to change header and footer. I've contacted them via chat and they say that it is 'hard-coded' can anyone tell me if you have any idea of how to go about this. I'd be very grateful!

Hi Niccol, I'm writing to you because I was following a thread which is now closed where you were offering some help awhile ago: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=129945
I am having the same problem as that french guy, I just can't figure out what he did to solve it, because he is very vague in the explanation.
I've tried to get in touch with him, but he seems inactive since last February.
I am using a purchased template and the text "now in your cart" doesn't translate when I go to the italian version. I found that text with the developer tool kit and it is in the tpl_header.php file.
in this file there is no HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS but only the text "now in your cart" .
It seems that it does not use a variable.
can you try to help me pleeeeease?

Re: now in your cart text

Where it says 'now in your cart' replace it with '<?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?>

Then in includes/languages/english/header.php set that variable to whatever you want it to say in English. And the same for any other language.

Hi niccol,
thanks for your reply! I've tried what you suggested, but strangely enough in my header.php there is already a variable called HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS
when I change it to what I want it to say nothing happens.

This is my header.php

                        <!-- =================================== -->

This is my site

Any idea?
Thanks for your help

The 'now in you cart' is not part of the basic zen set-up here.

You'll need to create a new variable for this text.

So first in header.php you need to change 'Ora nel tuo carrello ci sono' to something like <?php echo HEADER_NOW_IN_CART; ?>

Then you need to define that. Actually it is best to do it in its own file but you can just add it below the other defines in the existing files, for all three languages.

// header text in includes/header.php  
  define('HEADER_TITLE_CREATE_ACCOUNT', 'Create Account');  
  define('HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT', 'My Account');  
  define('HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS', 'Shopping Cart');  
  define('HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT', 'Checkout');  
  define('HEADER_TITLE_TOP', 'Top');  
  define('HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG', 'Home');  
  define('HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF', 'Log Out');  
  define('HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN', 'Log In'); 
  define('HEADER_NOW_IN_CART', 'Now in your cart');

Is there any other file to edit at all?or a string to add somewhere else in the same files? thanks

[niccol]

So, how did you change it to read 'articuli' now?

[cinziapdl]

I did not touch the 'articoli' bit at all. In fact I was wandering (in case your strategy worked) how could I on and have the 'articoli' in three languages? I guess I needed to define another variable but how?

[niccol]

Ooops
