After doing development of so many modules for opencart,\u00a0I realised an issue that so many our clients faced specially those, who don’t use the English language as store’s default language.<\/p>\n

We’ll be using Spanish language\u00a0pack for example which you can download from\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Download the zip and unzip it and then upload files to opencart\u00a0setup. Next step is adding new language, for this go to system->localization->languages and click on add <\/strong>new<\/strong> button. You’ll get below page to fill details about language that you are about to add.<\/p>\n

\"01\"<\/p>\n

To fill above form, every language pack provider provide details like below.<\/p>\n

\"02\"<\/p>\n

Fill these details in the\u00a0above screenshot form\u00a0as below.<\/p>\n

\"03\"<\/p>\n

And now just save it and you’ll see in the languages list as below.<\/p>\n

\"04\"<\/p>\n

As you can see that as of now default language is still english,\u00a0that you have change from system->setting under the local tab, there is an option of language option, change it to spanish\u00a0and default language will become spanish\u00a0for store.<\/p>\n

The next major issue is, how to translate a\u00a0module that is built on the multi language paradigm. If module is following language pattern for any module then it must have language files.<\/p>\n

If the module has language files for English\u00a0and you want to translate them for Spanish, then at the very first copy all the language files from English\u00a0language\u00a0directory and paste all of them in Spanish\u00a0directory in the same structure as it was in English language.<\/p>\n

For example, there is a file in module directory\u00a0for English language called foo.php then copy this into the module directory of\u00a0Spanish\u00a0language.<\/p>\n

Suppose Enlish\u00a0file has these keyword to be translated\u00a0as below screenshot.<\/p>\n

\"05\"<\/p>\n

Then these will be translated to Spanish as below.<\/p>\n

\"06\"<\/p>\n

After doing above changes, when you’ll change the language from front end then, page will be translated in to Spanish language only for those keywords that exists in language file only.<\/p>\n
