If I understood Your question correctly, You want to have a webshop in dutch language.To do that You have to translate:

  • all text and pictures inside theme
    • Go through every used page and every element (WAE)
  • all used product and product group informations
  • Customer questions
    • Customers -> Settings -> Customer questions
  • theme notifiactions
    • Visual -> WWW-outlook -> Theme notifications
    • Go through every notification from select

two or more languages?

On May 18th, 2007 bedandbreakfast said:

How can I create my pages in two or more languages so that one language is the default and then the customer can e.g. click on a flag that changes to the language he/she wants?

It seems to work in http://www.bronx.fi/, obviously by using two themes in parallel. However, I don't understand how to activate more than one theme at the same time.

Thanks if you can advise!

it's (currently) not

On May 18th, 2007 Akorth said:

it's (currently) not possible to run more than 1 theme at a time with the free edition. It's quite possible that 2 themes will be made available in Q3 of this year as stated elsewhere in this forum, but as of now the only way to obtain that is using the commercial edition og smilehouse ( smilehouse standard ).

The alternative is to run 2 seperate shops, and thus 2 themes, but then you'd have seperate inventories too...

An alternative to this would be to combine it with some scripting that checks for language and then shows the correct text accordingly, but it would still leave the notifications in 1 language...
I don't know if there's any alternative solutions to this problem, but i guess the wosbee crew can answer that ;)

When you want to create multilanguage shop, best way to do it is with separate themes. Unfortunately in wosbee (and small business edition) is only 1 theme allowed. As Akorth says, you can run two separate wosbee shops or you can do it with javascript. For example adding language setting to cookie and different language content in named divs. Then you make two separate css-files, one hiding one language and second hides the other one. Javascript just change used css-file. PS. In notifications is possible to add HTML-tags, so there will be same system. This advice is a hack, so no garanties guarantees are granted  :) -taivo

Regarding this matter I have

Regarding this matter I have one question.

I'm changing the language to portuguese, but there are some items that are images, for example the Search button.

All I have to do is upload a new search button and replace the code in the corresponding page?

Thx.

You need to upload an image

You need to upload an image with Visual->Tools->Filemanager.
In the page you need to insert the path to the uploaded image like this:
http://USERNAME.shop.wosbee.com/PATH/TO/PICTURES/PICTURE.GIF

Best regards

Thanks ;)

Issue with variables and naming

On August 28th, 2008 Akorth said:

in the product list there's the $more$variable that one can use to link to the details.
Other examples are the "previous page/next page" etc.

The issue with these are they display text too.
If you use the more variable u'd get a link with "read more".

How do you change the language on that/modify that text???
Its kinda needed...since it's rather.well....unpractical/useless to be liking with english on a non english website.

Changing "read more"

Hi.

You can change it by going Administration -> Visual -> Themes -> Page construction -> Product list. Now click on the Product list element and then Settings. On the Settings page there should be "Product page link text" and by changing that value you can change the default "read more". You need to change Product spot element settings if you want custom "read more" text on that page where Product spot element is used.

Changing language in Passoword recovery

Hello!
To change language in password recovery element use this element's settings:

  • select password recovery element
  • click Settings tab. There must be such settings like: Username label, Password recovery "Alt"-text. To change language in button picture, you must create your own picture, upload it to shop and then use it.

Also you must change text in related notifications:

  • go to Visual -> Themes -> Notifications
  • change following texts:Fogotten password set, Insert valid username, and username needed.

Thanks, I have missed it was a picture. Of course I must have another picture then. But I am not sure we are talking about the same button. I mean the link wich take you to the recovery page. Not the button on the recovery page.
I fixed it with a link instead.

Changing language in password recovery link

lowate's picture
On September 7th, 2008 lowate said:

Hello,
the only way I found to change password recovery link's text is to change your password protection element. In visual -> themes -> page construction select page where is password protection element, click on that element.
In this element you will find "Login HTML" (first text box). At the end of this box, you will find something like this:
<td colspan=2 align='right'>
$login_action$<br><br>$password_recovery_action$<br><br>$register_link$
</td>.

Change $password_recovery_action$ variable to this:
<td colspan=2 align='right'>
$login_action$<br><br><a href="PublishedService?file=page&pageID=19">Password recovery link text...</a><br><br>$register_link$
</td>.
Where "PublishedService?file=page&pageID=19" is a link to your password recovery page...
Hope it will helps:)
