How to make Your Module Compatible for “All Languages”

To change Your Prestashop Language You have to select it at the time of installation.

1. Use  $this->l(‘’)  for the element you want to change in other languages in .php files.

Example: Suppose we want to display “welcome” in other languages.

so we have to use $this->l(‘welcome’)

2.  Use {l s=” mod=’module_name’}  for the element you want to change in other languages in .tpl or smarty  files.

Example: Suppose we want to display “welcome” in other languages.

so we have to use {l s=’welcome’ mod=’module_name’}

3. Create a folder in your module named ‘Translations’.

4. Create .php file/files in the Translations folder named under language iso_codes.For iso_code go to ps_lang table in the database.Files in the Translations folder should be empty.
