define variables

hi ppl!!!

how can i define variables for languages translate!!!
E.g. i want to add some text´s in product area, and when i click in the flag it translates

Sorry i think that is very easy, but i don´t find it!!!

Thanks

You add languages to the catalog/language/ folder. Then, in the admin, you need to add these languages via Admin > Config > Localization > Languages.

Then you're able to add different languages when adding/editing products.

i dont want to add languages, but words in my site, it´s simple to add text but i want translate this words when i click in the flag!!

Thanks

Ok, I got you wrong there. Don't know how to add words that will translate outside the product description, etc...
Maybe you can start looking how things like box headers etc. are handled right now.

make a copy of the english one..
change the words you want
when they click the flag it will switch out the words


the LANGUAGE files are the control for that...

it sounds like you need multiple language support, which opencart provides, however to support multiple languages you need to create the language package, as well as enter all your product data in multiple languages.

i have worked with similar features on another project where its not a full language replacement, but more of an individual word replacement using one language. however, i don't quite get how this would apply in a shop.

if you need something other than multiple language support, can you supply a specific example that applies to your business so we can understand the requirement a bit better?

No I think he needs to add more words that translate 'out of the box'. Some that are not in the language files and not needed for Opencart.

xaicks:
Look at a language php file and see how different words are defined.
These get read from within the backend in this form: So if you define your own variable in the language files they should be available in any template file: PS: not tested that yet though!

Hi,

In language/portuguese/controller/product.tpl i have this

In template/default/content/product.tpl i want to put the variable and the result is this notice

Notice: Undefined variable: text_descr in /hermes/web10/b1117/pow.lusotekops16/htdocs/pakiee/catalog/template/default/content/product.tpl on line 26

how can i define variables?
Thanks ppl!

you need to set it to the template...

part one of what you have done is good...

now part 2

file you need to edit

/catalog/controller/product.php          load('controller/product.php');

add this...

$view->set('text_descr', $language->get('text_descr'));


save and you should be good to go

yeah!!

Thanks Ppl!!
