Installation Of Magento Marketplace PreOrder Module
Customers will get a zip folder and they have to extract the contents of this zip folder on their system. The extracted folder has a src folder and inside the “src folder” we have – app, js, media and skin folders. You need to transfer the app, js, media and skin folders into the Magento root directory on the server as shown below.
After moving both the app and skin folders you have to flush the cache from Magento admin module by navigating through->System->Cache management as shown below.
Language Translation
After the module installation, the user will unzip the folder and click on src folder. Inside that folder, you will find app folder. Click on the app folder and you will get locale and inside that you will find the language folder in English language as en_US. Now follow the same path and open the locale folder where you have installed the Magento Marketplace and go inside the locale folder and create a new folder and name with the language for which you want to convert your module content. Now edit the Webkul_Mppreorder.csv and then upload to your server inside the locale folder.
Before uploading the CSV file, open and edit it with the translated keywords. Please check the below image for the better understanding.
