Title: language file or folder location
Post by: popustda on May 04, 2014, 05:33:14 AM

Hii guys,
I have added my native language in system/languages and translated it completely and now i want to move it also on my second abantcart on different hosting but i cant find it.
I thought it would be in storefront/languages/  but the folder there is empty.
Is this possible or i am looking at a wrong place?


Thanks

there are two ways in changing languages
1. from admin dashboard leading to database language alteration
2. from FTP

what you did is method no. 1

If you want to add a new language you need to do the method no. 2 by doing following steps:
1. copy folder in storefront/language/english
2. rename your copied folder to your own language name
3. edit all xml files in the new folder except within the tag <value></value> (just let it as it is)
4. once all done go to admin dashboard > System > Localization > Languages and fill all forms by referring to this link

Then you have to go to your database and export language_definitions table and import it onto the database on your second webhosting server
