German Language Pack for ZC version 1.5.x

An updated version of the German Language Pack will be submitted in the next couple of days.

Pending dev's approval of the update, this will be the new support thread for the German Language Pack covering ZC version 1.5.x

Please bear with us for a couple of days until the new pack is submitted and approved.

Thanks / Frank

This pack can now be downloaded from here

Please post comments / bugs in this thread - no PM please.

I have this option installed on version 1.5.1.
It works great - only one bug! I have the addon "Stock by Attributes 5.0 Beta (for v1.5.0)" installed. In the English version this shows up as the last option in the Webshop drop down list but it does not show up at all in the German Webshop drop down list.

I would appreciate your help, I enclose a screenshot of files that mention Stock by Attributes.

BTW, as it is easy to change the language in the Admin console using the drop down list I would rate this bug as a "nice to have".

Glad you like this mod.

But the 'bug' you mentioned is not really specific to this (or any other) language pack.

My guess is that "Stock by Attributes 5.0 Beta (for v1.5.0)" contains some file(s) which are language dependent.

You may want to consult the support thread for Kuroi's contribution to get a clue how to handle languages other than English.

Please let us know what you discover.

I have just downloaded the "Stock by Attributes" plugin and had a peek:

look in

admin/includes/languages/english/
admin/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/

and you should find the files

products_with_attributes.php
products_with_attributes_stock.php

just translate the defines and upload the 2 files to the corresponding 'german' folders

Merci, sehr lieb.

Wetter ist Heute angenehm!

Time for another dumb question :smile:

I just noticed that the "email_checkout" emails in German language are always in text whereas the English language emails are in HTML (when the user registers HTML in their account).
When I switch my registration from text to HTML & back the English emails follow but the German ones are always in text. :dontgetit

I do not see anything in your add-on that could cause this but here seems to be a good place to start asking?
I suppose I could have configured something wrong somewhere? :blush:

I do not know if it helps but after I noticed this I also noticed the "email_checkout" emails do not have an email greeting (I mean "dear" or "sehr geheerte") I added the greeting in the email template and in "includes/classes/order.php". The greeting now works in the English language but not in German.

Appreciate anybody who has a tip where I could look next?

Don't think it is related to the language files - I will have a look at this over the weekend (on the road atm).

Thanks, I also don't think it is related to the language files. :smile:

If you want to look at my site please use https://www.simmar.ch/catalog & also use the invoice option (not paypal) for orders; then the orders are easy to delete. :smartalec:

Have fun on the road :D

Create a folder in /emails named de so it it reads /emails/de

Now copy all email templates from /emails to /emails/de

Do another test order - should work just fine

Great thanks, super fast reply. I thought it was in my poor configuration.

I now see HTML email.

Only remaining problem is it now uses the German default template not the email_checkout - & the default for every other type (English is OK) :(
I searched through all the support possibilities but they all say just "copy all email templates from /emails to /emails/de"
Did I miss doing something standard?

Thank you for your patience

Could you elaborate a bit more on what you mean with this please.

Sure

For example, when Zencart sends a "Bestellbestätigung Bestellnummer" email instead of using the "email_template_checkout" it uses the HTML "email_template_default" which does not give the customer anything useful; see example below.
Same for the welcome email uses the default HTML template which gives all the info but loses the nice formatting.

I have currently deleted the "email_template_default" in email/de so the customer gets the text version email which has full information but loses the nice formatting.

Example checkout email content;

Bestellbestätigung Bestellnummer 1027
$EMAIL_MESSAGE_HTML

Followed by the usual copyright & footer stuff.

I have a bad feeling there is something really simple I got wrong :blush:

BTW; I know it is the default template being used because I wrote a number in each template & the number 3 was in the email I received; which meant default.

Just did 2 test orders, one in English and one in German, both order confirmation emails showing up here in perfect HTML formatting. So I believe that your issue is definitely not related to the German language pack.

Just checked your emails; everything perfect as you write.
I tried again & HTML checkout email now works correctly for me too.

Thanks for your time & fast responses; sorry to send you off on a wild goose chase. Maybe something needed to be refreshed somewhere; I did reboot my PC several times; perhaps it was something to do with the server?
Nothing to do with your German language pack as you said.

I am very happy - but I think I will go lie quietly in a corner now :)

Hi there.
I'm very new to ZenCart (1.5.1) and having trouble to set um the German Language Pack 1.5.0
After installing all files an reference the new language in AdminPanel I tryed to choose this via the pulldown menu. Btw.: an also installed russian Pack works fine.
But after switching to german I recieve a blank page. I'm only able to step back via BrowserButtons an choose english again.
The shop is mentioned to russion people in germany so I need both packs.

In the downloadpage (http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=205) I found:

*you have before the 1.run to
edit: admin/rl_translate_config.php
*

Inside the pack there in no file like the described.
Thanks for any suggestions and regards from good old germany. :)

A blank page can result from a bad (corrupted) file upload. I suggest you obtain a fresh copy of the pack and reinstall it. To date this pack had almost 1000 downloads and no blank page has ever been reported here.

Don't take any notice of this, it is a legacy from a former pack which was written for ZC 1.3.5 by the original author hugo13. Only follow the instructions contained within the latest pack.

Hope this helps / Frank

Submitted an update to this pack today.

The update reflects all the changes up to ZC version 1.5.3.

Most of the changes / additions occur in the admin section, only very few changes in the catalog files.

I let you know here when the update is available for download.

Cheers / Frank
