Auto Emails not in right language

[brodreneolsen]

The auto emails for new customers, and even the emails with the invoice confirmation has always been in my language, Norwegian.
But has now stopped to come in my language, Its only in English.

The folder is right for the emails with the folder structur /email/no/
All files area there, and they are in the correct language.

Is there a file telling what language directory every language uses?

Is there a file telling what language directory every language uses?

Admin->Localization->Languages ----- you specify the short-name of the language there. Most people use the official 2-letter "locale" code for the short-name of the language, for consistency.

Thank you. The ´local´code for Norway in my settings is also NO. I can´t figure why the mail are still in english

On the storefront, Zen Cart presently sends emails in the language "in use" by the customer while they're on your site. So if the customer has selected English, they'll get emails in English. (And if your store's default is English, then the customer has "selected" English by virtue of not selecting another language.)

In the Admin, the emails are sent in whatever language the Administrator is using while logged in.

The store is set to: Country: Norway, Zone: Norge
If I create a new account using selected language Norwegian, adress and everything set to Norway, the emails still will be in English.

HTML emails? or text-only emails?

[brodreneolsen]

I have tried both, but still in english

Okay, here's how it works technically:

1. The customer accesses the site
2. Zen Cart picks the store's default language, based on the store's settings.
3. The customer opts to change it, or not change it.
4. The customer is then using that language for everything, including all the screen-displayed content AND emails.

So ... if the customer accesses the create-account page, then all the language pieces for that page are loaded ... including screen-only stuff and email stuff (BOTH are contained in the same file, and both are used at the same time).

So, if the customer is creating an account in English, then they'll get their Welcome email in English.
If they're creating an account using Norwegian, then whatever text is defined in the Norwegian language files will be used ... both in emails and on-screen ...... again, because the text is in the same files.

1. true
2. the store is set to auto detect language from browser.
3. the customer sees the page in the prefered language, norwegian.
4. all text, prices all is in english


thats wat is so strange, the user opt. Norwegian also in adress.
The order confirmation is in Norwegian and also the welcome mail when registering.
This worked for me before, but I don´t know if the problem came when selecting possibility for english language also.

Emails and languages are NEVER based on the customer's "address", nor the store's "country" or "zone" setting.
