Re: Changing weight from lbs to kgs

Hi

Find the file english.php in the "includes/languages" folder and open it with a text editor like notebook. Find the correct lines

// Shipping
define('TEXT_SHIPPING_WEIGHT','lbs');
define('TEXT_SHIPPING_BOXES', 'Boxes');

and change to

// Shipping
define('TEXT_SHIPPING_WEIGHT','kgs');
define('TEXT_SHIPPING_BOXES', 'Boxes');

then save and upload.

This should work for you.

All the best
