Mixed languages in shop admin area

The menu in the shop admin area shows items in 2 languages.

The shop should only have German language, I deleted the entry for English.

  • The top menu level is in German.
  • All sub-menu items for 'Konfiguration' (configuration) are in ENGLISH. Also all pages reached through those sub menu items are in English.
  • All other sub menus are in German. The pages reached through those sub menus are German.

Any idea how to fix?

Thanks,
Ralf

Yes, that is normal.
Many of the menu items and configuration choices cannot be translated without causing problems with functionality, since many of them rely specifically on English values to work properly.

There is work in progress to work around those limitations in a future version, but at the present time there are limits to what you can safely translate. Best to only translate what's in language files.

Re: Mixed languages in shop admin area

If you prefer a completely German admin with all configuration settings in German, you should install the Geman Zen-Cart version:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/zencart-german/
Our version is completely multilingual for years.
Switch the admin to english and all settings are in English, switch it to German and all settings are in German.
This is the case for any addons you install later too.
