Japanese Pack 1.3.7 (Crystal Koi)

When your page turns white, you mean you get a blank page? If so, can you pull the source code, is there anything? The source from your blank page. Also what version of zc are you running?

I recommend following this FAQ Entry and in particular installing the debug facility to find the source of your blank page.

Does the Japanese Language Pack work as-is with PayPal? When I switch the Admin to Japanese and look at the Payments module, I get a bunch of PHP error messages for missing or failed files in:
/catalog/includes/languages/japanese/modules/payment/
including this one:
/catalog/includes/languages/japanese/modules/payment/paypaldp.php

Thanks!

Paypal will work in the new release. The new release will be for both 1.3.7 and 1.3.8

There are some old issues that I am working through with paypal, but I think I have most of it worked out.

I hope to have this pack worked out in the next two weeks, but I am in the middle of also writing a shipping module.

I really do recommending holding off if you can until the next pack comes out.

Thanks! We can certainly wait for the new release and we really appreciate all that you do with this pack.

No problem. If you need paypal to work right away, copy the files from the English side to the Japanese side of things.

Example:
You don't have this file.
/catalog/includes/languages/japanese/modules/payment/paypaldp.php

You copy the english file from
/catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/payment/paypaldp.php

And put it in the Japanese side of things.

Update on Paypal
For some reason, when I tested paypal last, I thought that it has a Japanese check out page. I mean, really how hard is it to make a page Japanese, but when you select the Japanese drop down, I get nothing but small order changes.

So I don't really see Paypal as a good way to check out for Japanese. I am going to look more into this, but if anyone has any input on this, that would be great.

Copying those files did the trick.

Last night when I was looking for info on the Paypal site, I saw where the language can be set to Japanese for the checkout page. Tonight I can't find it. Anyway, we just signed up for a Paypal account and will figure it out after we're verified and have a bit more time.

Paypal is going to be an additional payment method for us, not the primary method.

Even though it says you can set the encoding for the page, it doesn't seem to be working. I am dealing with paypal now to try to see if there is a way to do this.

I will also be suggesting that you run zen-cart in utf-8. There are some good posts on this forum on how to do this, I will also include this in my walk through. This being that you won't have any problems entering information into your cart and you will be able to edit information in your database.

I hope to have this up soon. Soon being 2 weeks or so.

Just a little update on Paypal

I just got it working, well for the most part, but I have found the source of problems. So you can expect this to be working with the pack.

Ok, after a busy 2 weeks, I have most of the pack worked out..well I think I have it all worked out, and I have been working on the documentation for it.

I still have one problem. And if anyone wants to help out, that would be great.
It deals with PayPal and you can check this thread if you can help.
