Japanese Pack 1.3.7 (Crystal Koi)

Support Thread for the CK-JLP Japanese Pack. (more to come)

This pack is developed by Crystal Koi Design. (www.crystalkoi.com). the pack has major

portions taken from the Japanese zen-cart team, but has been updated for 1.3.7. It

has also had all the Kana entry fields taken out of the code.

Included in this pack are address order files. These are core file changes and are up

to you if you want to use them. Recommended that if you live and do most of your

business with Japanese customers then use the address order files. You could also

clone your template and include the files for the address order under that template

and then set your template up for the Japanese language. This would be the best

solution but requires more overall work for all your updates and modifications.

The buttons have not been updated yet but are to come and have been taken from the

English pack and the other Japanese pack. We ask for everyone to please help test

this and develop it. The admin area has all been added but the configuration menu

area is still in English. Japanese is to come.

Note EZpages are only supported in one or the other language. We suggest learning how

to make and add your own pages as it’s a cleaner way anyways but we are looking for a

solution to this.

This is not like the 1.3.0.2 pack for the Japanese zen-cart team. This pack drops in

to existing zen-carts 1.3.7

If you are updating from 1.3.6 or other versions and are worried about the ezpages.

Use a redirect from your old page url locations to the new locations of the pages that

you made.

To learn how to make pages use the About Us Pages module located here:

Thanks to the Japanese team for all the translations that you have done, give credit

where credit is due. We have just provided a different avenue for people to go with

this. We also stayed away from the Kana entry area because it changes core files and

adds a lot of work for the user to update.

Please not the BETA. This is the 1st test run and we are sure that there are going to

be things that should be changed. Please pm or post all recommendations and we will

apply all that we can. Also if you have Japanese test users that can go through

things Admin and Customer side would be a big help. We have translators working with

us but every bit helps to make this pack as great as we can.

Please test this before you take it live and thanks for all that will help!

CrystalKoi

We will be adding paypal translations to this soon too as they offer Japanese services now. This will be updated as soon as we can.

that is cool :cool: thanks

The HTML Area isn't working, trying to fix this. Will add it soon.

The HTML area has been added. The pack was missing one file. If you already downloaded the pack then you can manually put the file in. If not, then the download has been updated and should work fine.

here is the link to the manual file. ja.zip
it goes in editors/htmlarea/lang/

Let us know if you have any problems.

Sorry, the link got messed up there. Here is the link again.

Hello CrystalKoi:

Kudos for all your hard work!

I'm installing a ZC shop for a client. They would like to do admin in English, but be able to provide product display in either Japanese or English, as well as enter Japanese in on the admin side. Would you sugggest your Japanese Pack?

Thanks in advance,

Patrick

Yes it should work, please note the beta stage. You can switch between English and Japanese in the Admin no problem. There is a drop down for all language packs using zen cart so it should work.

There has been update to the tpl_modules_create_account.php file in the address order file. Please download the pack again and add this file, if you have decided to use it.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards

PS. We are working on more options for the pack and they should be up soon.

Thanks for the reply!

I may wait a bit, then, for some updates before installing.

Cheers,

Patrick

It should be up to par really fast. If you would like to set-up a test site and post anything you find, then the fixes will be done right away. We will be using this pack for our customers so we have to have it fixed fast.

hey guys, really interested in this since a huge portion of our business comes from japan. how does a japanese customer coming to the site know how to "click on" the japanese view? what will he see in japanese and what would remain in english?

please forgive my ignorance, but it's been an adventure getting my cart funtioning smoothly in english and while i'm excited about other language prospects i'm a bit wary... look forward to hearing your advice.

There are some ways to do this. You can change the button from a Japanese flag, to something like Nihongo in Kanji on the button. This is just one Idea, also you could change the lable from Languages, to Japanese if thats the only other language you have.

Let me know if you understand that.

We are going to do another update to the pack, any info or feedback would be great. This way we can update as much as possible at one time.

So let us know! Thanks for all that are testing it!

thanks ck, making the nihongo button seems to make sense...

We can make one and include it in the pack if people want that.

Hey I put that javascript file in catalog/editors/html_area/lang and I still get errors trying to use the the html area option in the define pages editor page. These are the javascript errors:

HTMLArea is not defined
chrome://firebug/content/blank.gif HTMLArea.loadPlugin("TableOperations");

HTMLArea is not defined
init()define_pages_edit... (line 20)
onload(load )define_pages_edit... (line 1)

chrome://firebug/content/blank.gif if (typeof _editor_url == "string") HTMLArea.replaceAll();

I'm using Firefox when I access this, and my admin is set on japanese. Any suggestions on how to get this to work?

The pack has been updated, daioyayubi pointed out an error in the install for the address order files. The install doc has been updated and also folders to where they go have been added to the pack.

As for the editor error, I will check into this more and get back to you.

Regards and thanks for the great feedback!

Daioyayubi...can I ask who your host is, I think this might be a server issue. I just installed a fresh cart and used the pack and all went well, no problems.

Here is a link to a post about this stuff:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59090

Note there was a Japanese issue in there, but has been resolved and was included in this pack. If you look at post 16, there is someone with the same issue. I hope this helps. PM or Email me and I can tell you a good host to use if you need.

Regards,

CK
