Translating categories and product information

I added new language to my site. It works fine. However, I need a webshop where I can have multilingual product information also.

Is this possible with Zen Cart? How?

Thanks in advance!

It is possible. :smile:

Just add the language packs you want and translate the page content and product information.

Re: Translating categories and product information

Thanks for your reply. However I'm afraid I didn't fully understand.

Could you give more details when you say "translate the page content and product information" ?

Where do I put the translations?

I looked at some files inside languages\finnish and it has lines like these:
define('TABLE_HEADING_PRODUCTS', 'Tuotteen nimi');

So do I use the same strategy to translate product information??

Products are pretty easy! Take a look at the screen shot I've attached (spanish pack)

Re: Translating categories and product information

Using the latest... And using the admin in English, I enter a product name and description in English and Spanish, go to preview, everything looks good. I hit update and only the English is saved.

This must be a simple problem as I can not find anything in the forum.

Please let me know what I should try?

Thanks
