French Language Pack for ZC 1.5.7c

This thread is for support of the new French Language Pack Zen Cart v1.5.7c

Please leave your experiences, remarks and/or suggestion in this thread.

You can download it from Plugins => Language Packs

Direct link to the **French Language Pack Zen Cart v1.5.7c**

The package is version 1.1 which has been improved by:
adding the button folder, taking care of a few fixes and adding a modified plugin to check for new versions.

When you have turned your language side box off or use a mobile friendly template, I advise using the **Language/Currency Links in Header** plugin. Customers will see your shop header first so this is the logical place to display the language and/or currency choice you offer to them.

Merci, @Philibel.

Merci beaucoup.:smile:

Hello,

This package has one issue that I have found so far.... the instruction say to "set "Directory:" to "French" this is incorrect.... it should be set to "french" to work correctly.

Thank you!

Since any language pack is by far the biggest "plugin" of 500+ files, and with language being what it is, you (and hopefully others) will be continually tweaking it. for mistakes and improvements. So a static fileset in the plugins is really not suitable.

For ZC58 there wil be a change in this process, but for now I recommend you set it up on GitHub where everyone can easily suggest and make changes easily.

I never really worked with GitHub, but it should be all there now. :lookaroun Other plugins will follow shortly.

Two issues with automatic generated date display:

Storefront:

/includes/languages/french.php
on line #18: make sure to put fr_FR.utf8 first.
on line #19: replace 'fr_FR' with $locales

 $locales = ['fr_FR.utf8', 'fr_FR', 'fr', 'French'];
   @setlocale(LC_TIME, $locales);

This will fix on the storefront things like:
Ce produit a été ajouté à notre catalogue le samedi 4 d�cembre 2021.
into
Ce produit a été ajouté à notre catalogue le samedi 4 décembre 2021.

Admin side:

/YOUR_ADMIN/includes/languages/french.php
on line #22: make sure to put fr_FR.utf8 first.
on line #23: make sure $locales is used.

 $locales = ['fr_FR.utf8', 'fr_FR', 'fr', 'French'];
   @setlocale(LC_TIME, $locales);

This will fix:
Admin top menu bar next to language choice from samedi 4 d�c. 2021 into samedi 4 déc. 2021.
Invoice, packing slip from:
Date de commande : samedi 04 dé�embre, 2021
to
Date de commande : samedi 04 décembre, 2021

Small correction:

Admin side french.php

$locales = array('fr_FR.utf8', 'fr_FR', 'fr', 'French');
@setlocale(LC_TIME, $locales);
